Screen Flow

Application Monitor screens can be used hierarchically. Typically, you initiate a session with the Application Monitor by following these steps:

Choose an entity from the Entity List—Selection screen or name a new entity by using the Entity Selection screen.
Choose a specific task from the Task List screen. After you press [Enter], the Interval Monitor displays the General Statistics screen. By pressing either [PF2] or [PF9], you can view each statistics screen associated with the chosen task.

The following illustration shows the sequence of screens.

Current Entity

The current entity is the first entity on the Entity List screen.

Note: For more information about making another entity current or deleting an entity, see Entity List (PF1).

Current Task

The current task is the first task on the Task List screen. All of the tasks on any given Task List screen are the tasks associated with the current entity.

Skipping the Entity List and Task List Screens

If, instead of choosing an entity, you press [PF2] to go directly to the Task List screen, the Application Monitor lists the current entity.

If, instead of choosing an entity and task, you press a PF key to go directly to a statistics screen, the Application Monitor provides statistics for the current task of the current entity.
