Using line commands to modify monitor sets
Line command | Description |
|---|---|
ADD | Defines a monitor set by using a previous definition as a template The ADD primary command can be used to define a monitor set with the MVScope default values. |
CHAnge | Makes changes to a monitor set definition whose status is Ready |
DELete | Deletes the monitor set |
MONitor | Starts a monitor set whose status is Ready |
STOp | Terminates sampling or analyzing for a monitor set whose status is Waiting, Sampling, or Analyzing |
The administrative tasks that can be performed on a particular monitor set are determined by the monitor set’s status. The status of a monitor set, the description, and the actions that you can perform on that monitor set by way of line commands are shown in the following table:
Monitor Set Status | Description | Valid Line Commands |
|---|---|---|
Ready | Newly created monitor set is ready to begin sampling. | ADD CHAnge MONitor DELete |
Waiting | Sampling has been requested, but MVScope has not yet located the active job, or the job is not active. | ADD STOp DELete |
Sampling | MVScope is sampling an active job or device. | ADD STOp DELete |
Analyzing | MVScope is analyzing the completed samples. | ADD STOp DELete |
Analyzed | Samples have been fully analyzed. The monitor set records are still in working storage in the PAS. | ADD DELete |

Now, use the MSLIST view and line commands to create, change, and delete MVScope monitor sets.
