Navigating from the Primary Menu

Select what you want reported in one of two ways:

1. Make a selection from the list that starts at the top of the panel:
   • The single number or letter on the left
   • The command shown in upper case beside it
   • The abbreviated command shown on the right in parentheses
   RMF then presents you the appropriate selection menu that allows you to select the individual report you want. Make your selection here in the same way.
2. Select an individual report directly by entering the appropriate command on the selection line. The available commands, with abbreviations and a short description of what the resulting report will contain, are listed in Table 1. These commands are called report commands.

   Use the parameters of the report commands to narrow down the reports to essentials.

The first choice, SYSPLEX, leads you to the sysplex reports, and choices 1 to 4 lead you to single-system reports. You can specify the system you want on the panel that displays the individual single-system reports by overtyping the current system.

In addition, option U or USER leads to a menu with user-written reports. There you find three IBM-supplied examples that are created by help of the Monitor III Utility (see the z/OS RMF Programmer's Guide). Each installation can use this menu to offer all installation-specific own reports.

You can also influence how RMF presents the reports in two ways:

1. By entering O or OPTIONS to reach the Option Selection menu. This guides you in specifying the report options for the session.
2. By using option commands to call up the data-entry panels for the options you want to specify. You will find these commands listed in Option commands.
