Ease of navigation

With 

MainView

, you gain control not only of what your screen displays and how it arranges data, but also where it can take you.

MainView offers unparalleled ease of use and navigation through hyperlinks, menus, and commands that facilitate problem diagnosis, regardless of location or product. You never have to back out of what you are doing to go to another MainView component. Additionally, by splitting the display into multiple windows, you can view up to 20 different data views simultaneously, providing swift access to data across the sysplex. You do not need to log on and off constantly, or to consume resources by using session managers. Hyperlinks, menus, or commands are always available to help you get started on your next task.

Hyperlink fields provide a link to additional data that can offer greater detail about a potential problem. Hyperlinks can help you diagnose problems, regardless of location or product. You can easily define your own hyperlinks between views of data in one or more MainView products. Hyperlinks can cross product, subsystem, system, and sysplex boundaries seamlessly.

Menus

MainView includes an extensive network of menus, from high-level menus of products and components to object-specific menus that are related to a resource, job, or workload. Menus provide a quick, convenient way to access views. You can even create your own menu views to meet your site’s specific needs.

Commands

For users who prefer to type a command to get where they want to go, MainView offers a complete command-line interface. You can perform a variety of actions by executing primary commands. For instance, you can use commands to access data views as well as transfer between views within any MainView product, on any system, and in any location. Alternatively, you can perform actions specific to a view by using line commands.
