Accessing Plex Manager status views

Use one of the following methods to access the Plex Manager status views.

If you are not in MainView

  1. Start a terminal session by performing one of the following actions:
    • Execute the MainView CLIST from the COMMAND line:  TSO EX ' hilevel.UBBSAMP(MainView)'
    • Start a VTAM or EXCP MainView Alternate Access terminal session that executes the MainView CLIST.

  2. Select option P for Plex Manager. The EZPLEX menu is the default view that appears first when you access Plex Manager from the Selection Menu.

  3. On the EZPLEX menu, position the cursor on one of the following Target Activity fields and press Enter:
    • Sum by Area for the PLEXAREA view
    • Sum by Product for the PLEXPROD view
    • Sum by System/Prod for the PLEXOVER view
    • Not Summarized for the PLEX view

If you are in another MainView product that is running in windows mode

Use the following CONtext command: 

CON * PLEXMGR; viewName

If you are currently displaying a Plex Manager view

Enter viewName on the COMMAND line.

The following figures are examples of the PLEX and PLEXOVER status views.
