Using Command Dialogs

Enter AOC from the NetView command line in your NetView session to reach the System Operations MAIN MENU.

Enter 2 or CD at the command line to invoke the Command Dialogs Main Menu. Starting with this menu, you can interact with 3270-type panels to issue SA z/OS system operations commands.

You can enter a command with two methods:

1. Type the number or letter corresponding to the desired command at the command line,
2. Type the name of the command. If you choose to type a command, you can add options to it.

For example, if you enter number 2 at the command line of the Command Dialogs Main Menu, you reach the AOCTRACE command dialog that prompts you for further options.

Some of the commands operate sysplexwide; especially those sent to the automation manager. For other commands you can specify a target system that they should operate on, for example, if you want to display the automation flags on a certain target system.

The commands present a snapshot of the data, taken at the time the command is executed. Some data may be refreshed when other commands are issued from the same panel. To force a refresh of all data you must press PF9.
