Using the CICS System Status panel


This section describes the CICS System Status panel.

The CICS System Status panel has three areas. The first area, called the Control Area, is explained in the chapter “Describing Common Application Functions and Display Fields” in the MainView AutoOPERATOR Basic Automation Guide, Volume 2.

You can use the following primary commands on the COMMAND line of the CICS System Status application.

The SORT TIME command sorts the ALERTs with the most recently issued ALERT at the top of the display.
