Information in the Main Application Window

By default, the current server name and node name are displayed at the top and at the bottom of the main application window.

In addition, you can display text information of your choice at the top or bottom of the object workspace. For this purpose, System Automation Tools provides the user exit ESUEX02N in the system library SYSSAT. With the user exit, you can specify the text to be displayed, its color and location, and also choose to display this text instead of the server name and node name at the top of the main application window. For details, see the corresponding user exit source object ZSUEX02N in the library SYSSAT.
