Refreshing view data in MainView Explorer


The data displayed in a view is static. When you refresh the data in a view, new data is retrieved from the host and displayed in the view. Refreshing data in a view automatically refreshes the data in any alternate form of the view, such as a chart or detail view. You can refresh data manually, or automatically at a specified interval.

Important

  • You cannot refresh the Plex Map view automatically.
  • If you are using the Automatic Connection facility (or AutoConnect), you cannot refresh the CICS region views. A static JNT entry is required to refresh the CICS region views.

To manually refresh data in views

  1. On the view toolbar, click the Refresh GUID-71614026-8B0E-41E5-9D0A-E9F86A8BF4E9-low.png button.

To automatically refresh data in views

  1. On the view toolbar, click the Auto-Refresh GUID-19D5C6D1-1CDC-474E-819A-35A79300D966-low.png button.

    Data in the view is refreshed automatically.

    By default, the rate is 30 seconds. Your site administrator might have changed this default. You can also change the rate for your individual use.

  3. Perform one of the following actions:
