Browsing application operations

The APPLICATION IN THE DATABASE panel has a section for the list of operations in that application (see Figure 3). Enter forward slash (/) in the Row cmd column next to an operation to open the TABLE ROW COMMANDS panel. The commands available for the selected operation are listed, as shown in the example in Figure 1.

You can enter the abbreviations shown in parentheses in the primary command line in the APPLICATION IN THE DATABASE panel, without having to list the TABLE ROW COMMANDS.
The APPLICATION IN THE DATABASE advanced panel allows you to see, in a single panel, the comprehensive information for the selected operation in an application. You can scroll both right and down to view more information. While the operation details section of the panel remains static, you can scroll down to see the following sections:
  • Automatic options
  • Time options
  • Predecessors
  • Conditions
  • Resources and servers
  • Special resources
  • User fields
  • Feedback options
  • Clean up options
  • Extended info
  • Automation info
  • Remote job info
The sections are prefixed by a code so that you can easily jump to the required section using the find command, without having to scroll through each section. For example, to quickly display the Predecessors section, type find PRED- at the command prompt. Figure 2 shows an example of the first part of an OPERATION IN THE DATABASE advanced panel.
