When you start the XBM ISPF interface , the XBM logo panel is displayed.

When XBM finishes loading and the ISPF interface is ready to use, the XBM File List panel replaces the XBM logo panel. The following figure illustrates the XBM File List panel.

The File List panel is the main XBM panel. From this panel, you initiate most of your interaction with XBM. Unless otherwise specified, all procedures in the documentation that begin with the selection of menu items from the action bar originate from the File List panel.

In the first line of text under the menu bar, the panel identifies the XBM subsystem that you are currently viewing, the data sharing group to which this XBM subsystem belongs (if applicable), and the local XBM subsystem. The following figure describes the format of this text.

For information about selecting a different XBM subsystem to display, see Displaying-detailed-information-for-a-remote-XBM-subsystem.

From the File List panel, you have access to all other XBM functions. Use the XBM CUA-compliant ISPF interface to perform the following tasks:

  • Monitor the XBM subsystem
  • Display the status of XBM and components
  • Check the status of a snapshot job
  • Issue XBM commands
  • Define and display management sets, configurations, and XBM options
  • Monitor and manipulate the status of DASD volumes
  • Access remote XBM subsystems within the same XCF group as the local XBM subsystem in a data sharing environment

XBM dialogs use object-action sequences. This means that you choose an object (for example, a management set) and then select an action (for example, Activate) to apply to the management set. The object-action approach allows you to review the actions that you can perform on an object before you actually perform any of those actions.
