1.4.2.2.1 Selecting MWF from an ISPF Menu

Your CA MICS System Administrator may have installed CA MICS
so that you can reach the CA MICS Workstation Facility by
selecting an option on your installation's ISPF primary
option menu or another ISPF menu.  If this is the case, when
you start ISPF you will see a menu similar to the one shown
in Figure 1-1.

 Figure 1-1.  Selecting MWF from the ISPF/PDF Primary Option Menu

Select the CA MICS Workstation Facility option by typing MWF
after the option prompt, and pressing ENTER.  You will see
either the Welcome New CA MICS User panel (Figure 1-2) or
the primary CA MICS Workstation Facility (MWF) panel (Figure
1-3).  The Welcome New CA MICS User panel appears the first
time you use the online facility so that a set of user tables
can be allocated for you.  After they are initially
allocated, you will go directly to the MWF panel in future
start-ups.

 Figure 1-2.  Welcome New CA MICS User Panel

Your CA MICS System Administrator may have specified a
default unit name or volume serial identification.  If so,
press ENTER to allocate the data set for your user tables.
Depending on your site's requirements for allocating
permanent data sets for TSO users, the Unit Name and Volume
Serial parameters will be either optional or required.  If
you need to change the Unit Name or Volume Serial parameters,
enter the correct information after the prompts and press
ENTER.  MWF allocates the data set for your user tables and
displays the primary MWF panel shown in Figure 1-3.
