All Entire Event Management screens have a similar layout. Some data appear in every screen, other data are screen-dependent. The screens can be divided horizontally into several subsections:
Headings section
The top screen line displays the current date and time and the product
name "Entire Event Management". The second line
identifies the screen and, if applicable, the current owner component or object
(for example, in a list of Automation Rules, the name of the Logical Console
for which they are defined);
Main information section
The central section, Lines 4-20, contains the requested information on
the selected item, and appropriate input fields for object definition. In lists
of component or object names, there are also two-character input fields for
line commands;
Message line section
System messages appear in Line 21 below the main information section;
Command section and Flip Area
The first line of the command section (Line 22) is the command line.

press Enter again to return to the previous display.
No functions are assigned to PF13- PF24. You can assign functions to these keys without overwriting any default PF-key settings from PF1 to PF12. Enter the KEYS command in the command line and press Enter to switch between displaying PF1 - PF12 and PF13- PF24.
Entire Event Management provides several ways of moving through the system and performing functions:
Cursor selection
An option or command that is currently displayed on the screen can be
selected by placing the cursor on it and executed by pressing Enter. Use the
ZOOM function to display information for fields with limited space.
Option Code input
An option code can be entered in the command line at the bottom of
the screen. Press Enter.
Direct commands:
Almost any Entire Event Management function can be invoked from any
system screen by entering a direct command in the command line and pressing
Enter. This mode of input enables experienced users to bypass the menu
hierarchy.
Line commands:
Enter a two-character line command and press Enter on List screens
and in selection windows to perform most Entire Event Management functions.
PF Keys
Navigate and issue commands by pressing PF keys.
To additionally facilitate your session, Entire Event Management also provides:
Selection windows
Asterisk Selection Facility
Online Help
All of these are described in the following subsections.
The most obvious way to move through Entire Event Management is by using the cursor. Select an option from a menu or selection window or select a ZOOM option from a definition screen by placing the cursor on it and pressing Enter. Depending on the option you select, either another screen appears, or a selection window opens on the current screen. This way of moving through Entire Event Management is useful for inexperienced users and gives some idea of the menu structure of the online part of Entire Event Management.
The Entire Event Management Main Menu (see List Automation Rule figure) appears on your screen and you wish to modify a Message Range using cursor selection. Proceed as follows
Place the cursor on the Environment option on the Main Menu and press Enter. This displays the Environment Menu, which lists the environment objects that you can define:

Most object definition screens (add/modify/display Entire System Server Nodes, Server Parameters, Message Ranges, Logical Consoles, Logical Console Layouts, Automation Rules, Calendars) cannot display all information due to space restrictions. For instance, in the example above, the >Comment field can only display a few words on the Modify Message Range screen.
Entire Event Management's ZOOM feature, however, enables you to display all information for fields with space restrictions. ZOOM options are preceded by a greater than sign (>) or by a highlighted plus sign (+), if more data exists than appears on the object definition screen. Local commands preceded by a plus sign (+) can also be ZOOMed.
To ZOOM an option
Place the cursor anywhere on the option heading or on the local command in the Action Bar and press Enter.
This opens a window which displays all information for the option.
Option codes are the numbers that identify each option on any menu. For example, Option 3 on the Main Menu is Environment, and Option 3 on the Environment Menu is Message Range.
An alternative way of moving through the menu hierarchy is by option code input: if you enter "3" in the command line of the Main Menu and press Enter, the Environment Menu is displayed; type "3" in the command line of the Environment Menu and press Enter - a screen containing a selection list of Message Ranges is displayed.
However, you can start a definition session with any object immediately from any system screen by entering the greater than sign > followed by an option code sequence in the command line. The first number in the sequence must be the number in the Main Menu, the second one must be the number in the submenu. The first and second numbers must be separated by a period (.) (full stop).
This provides experienced users with a quick, direct way of accessing other functions and returning to the screen they started from.
For example, if the Modify Automation Rule screen is displayed, and you wish to display a list of Message Ranges, simply type ">3.3" in the command line and press Enter. This displays the List Message Range screen. You can then work with any Message Range on the list. Return to the Modify Automation Rule screen by pressing PF3 (Exit). Pressing PF3 always returns you to the previous screen or to the appropriate menu, depending on your profile settings.
Note:
Depending on your profile settings, the option code could also be
capital letters.
Entire Event Management provides direct commands and line commands for moving through the system and performing functions.
Enter direct commands in the command line of any screen.
To display a list of all available direct commands
Enter an asterisk (*) in the command line and press Enter.
This opens a window with a list of direct commands, which you can scroll by pressing the Enter key.
To issue the command
Place the cursor on the required command and press Enter.
A description of all available direct commands and their syntax is contained in the Commands documentation.
There are three types of direct commands:
These are explained in the following subsection.
Function commands provide access to any system function from any screen and bypass the menu hierarchy. Enter function commands in the command line with an object-type parameter followed by parameters for selecting the object definition. The command format is:
command object-type [ object-name ] [ further-parameters ] ...
If you issue a function command without any parameters, the system prompts you with a selection window. For further information, see the subsection Selection Windows and Asterisk Selection Facility.
Session commands can be entered from every screen. The following are the most important:
BAR
CANCEL
EXIT
FLIP
HELP
KEYS
MENU
QUIT
TECH
If you see a list of PF keys at the bottom of the screen, press PF4 (Flip) - the second line of the PF-key display is replaced by a list of the most important session commands. Press PF4 or enter the FLIP command and press Enter to display the PF keys again. All session commands are described in the section Session Commands in the Commands documentation.
Local commands are relevant to the screen in which they are entered. All local commands available on a particular screen are displayed in the first line beneath the command line. This is called the "Action Bar". If you see a list of PF keys here, press PF4 (Flip) - the first line of the PF-key display is replaced by a list of available local commands.
You can execute any local command displayed by simply placing the cursor on the command and pressing Enter.
To display your PF-key assignments again
Issue the FLIP command or press PF4 (Flip).
Enter these commands in the two-character command input field preceding a component or object name in a list of names obtained by invoking the list function of any component or object type. Line commands applicable to all objects are:
CO (COPY),
DE (DELETE),
DI (DISPLAY),
MO (MODIFY), and
RN (RENAME).
There are additional line commands for some List screens.
To display a selection list of all line commands available for a
particular List screen
Enter an asterisk (*) in the two-character Cmd field preceding any object and press Enter.
A window opens from which you can select the appropriate command.
The use of line commands is described in the subsection Line Commands. A list and explanation of all line commands is provided in the section Line Commands in the Commands documentation.
Some commands are assigned to PF keys. Pressing the PF key to which the command is assigned has the same effect as entering the command in the command line and pressing Enter.
The following PF-key assignments are standard and can be invoked from every screen:
| Key | Name | Function |
|---|---|---|
| PF1 | Help | Invoke online help. |
| PF3 | Exit | Exit this screen or window and return to previous screen. |
| PF4 | Flip | Switch between PF-key display and Action Bar. |
| PF12 | Menu | Return to Main Menu. |
Sometimes local commands are assigned to PF keys and are available only from the appropriate screen. Examples of these are:
| Key | Name | Function |
|---|---|---|
| PF5 | Do | Save object definition (in modification functions). |
| PF8 | Down | Scroll list forward (in list functions). |
No functions are assigned to PF13 - PF24. You can assign functions to these keys without overwriting any default PF-key settings from PF1 to PF12. For further information, see the subsection How to Set Up a User-specific Session Profile - Setting PF-Key Assignments.
Enter the KEYS command in the command line and press Enter to switch between displaying PF1 - PF12 and PF13- PF24.
The online part of Entire Event Management includes some powerful features that guide you through the system and help you select the correct component, object or command.
If an item is not uniquely identified in a direct command, a window automatically opens with a list of selectable items. You can select the required item with the cursor. For example, type the command LIST in the command line of any screen and press Enter; this opens a window with a list of component and object types:

Place the cursor on an option, for example, RANGE and press Enter. The command LIST RANGE is immediately executed and a list of defined Message Ranges is displayed on your screen for further selection.
When selecting a component or object using the LIST, ADD, MODIFY, DISPLAY or DELETE command, you can use the asterisk (*) in place of characters to obtain a list of components or objects. For example, the command:
MODIFY RANGE INF*
displays a list of all Message Ranges whose names start with the prefix "INF":

The syntax of all direct commands and their parameters is described in the Commands documentation.
With the LIST command, you can use the asterisk (*) for all selection parameters following the component-type or object-type parameter. For example, to display a list of Message Ranges whose names start with the prefix NET and whose message IDs start with the prefix IST, enter the following command:
