Automatically refreshing data

To refresh panel data automatically, you can use the auto-refresh option.

About this task

Normally, to refresh data on a panel, you must press Enter. You can use the auto-refresh option to eliminate the need to press Enter.

To enable the auto-refresh option for the current panel, complete the following steps:

Select Auto-refresh from the Options drop-down menu of the IMS Sysplex Manager main menu panel.
To control how often the data is refreshed, select the Settings option on the IMS Sysplex Manager main menu and enter a value of 1 to 59 seconds.
Note: The minimum auto-refresh value is 1.

While the auto-refresh option is enabled, the keyboard is locked. To exit auto-refresh mode, use the Attention key (usually Esc key).

Restriction: The auto-refresh feature is not selectable from the drill-down menu on panels that do not support auto-refresh.
