2. For each service that you want to define for this refresh cycle, complete the following fields:
   1. In the SERVICE field, enter the select code for the service (Using service refresh cycles).
   2. In the PARMS field, enter the applicable parameters for the selected service.

   3. In the TARGET field, enter a one- to eight-character target identifier.

      Note

      If you leave both TARGET and TYPE blank, the target displayed in the TGT field is used. If you leave TARGET blank but specify an entry for TYPE, the current target for the specified product line is used.

   4. In the TYPE field, enter the type of product line to process the requested service (Using service refresh cycles).

      Note

      You do not have to enter a product line type if only one product line is installed. If you do not specify a product line, the active product line is used. When multiple product lines are installed, you must specify a product line type if the service to be requested does not belong to the active product line.

   5. In the DTIME field, enter the number of seconds to show a service display before replacing it with the next display in the stack.

      Note

      If you leave this field blank, the default specified by the INTERVAL parameter in the BBPROF data set member BBITSP00 is used. The original default (distributed by BMC) is 3 seconds. If you specify the maximum of 30 services, each with a display time of 3 seconds, the first service in the refresh cycle is displayed approximately every 90 seconds.

   6. (

      BMC AMI Ops Monitor for Db2

      , 

      BMC AMI Ops Monitor for DBCTL

      , and 

      BMC AMI Ops Monitor for IMS Online

       only) In the LOG field, indicate whether to log screen images to the terminal session image log for offline printing (Y or N).The default is N. A dash (-) in this field indicates that image logging is not supported for the requested service. 

      Important

      Full-screen mode is not available in version 5.5.00 of BMC AMI Ops Monitor for IMS Online and BMC AMI Ops Monitor for DBCTL after applying SPE2204 for these products. 

3. When you have no more services to define for this refresh cycle, press Enter.Pressing Enter validates the specified services and shows the current values in the input fields. You can change any of the input field values, if needed.

   Note

   If you use all the rows on a panel, use forward and backward scrolling to define or display additional rows.

4. (Optional) If you want to save this refresh cycle in your user profile data set for later reuse, enter either of the following commands:

   • SAVE xx (xx is an alphanumeric suffix for CYC)
   • SAVE memName (memName is any three- to eight-character alphanumeric member name)

   This refresh cycle is saved in the BBPROF data set.
