1.4.2.2.2 Starting MWF by Executing a CLIST

If you cannot start MWF from a standard ISPF menu, ask your
CA MICS System Administrator for the name of the CA MICS
Workstation Facility CLIST.  For purposes of this discussion,
we will assume that it is sharedprefix.MICS.CLIST(MWF).

First, sign on to TSO.  From the TSO READY prompt, type

          EX 'sharedprefix.MICS.CLIST(MWF)'

If you are a new CA MICS user, you will see the Welcome New
CA MICS User panel shown in Figure 1-2.  Your CA MICS System
Administrator may have specified a default Unit Name or
Volume Serial.  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 is either optional or required.  If
you need to change the Unit Name or Volume Serial, enter the
correct information after the prompts and press ENTER.  MWF
allocates the data set for your user tables and displays the
primary CA MICS Workstation Facility (MWF) panel, which is
shown in Figure 1-9.

If this is not the first time you have used MICF, you will go
directly to the primary CA MICS Workstation Facility (MWF)
panel.

The Performance Manager panel (Figure 1-11) is displayed when
you select Option 4, Performance Manager, from the Management
Support Applications panel.  This panel allows you to define
a new inquiry or select an inquiry from the Shared catalog or
your private catalog.  You can optionally modify your MICF
options or review reports and Graphics generated by
previously executed inquiries.

Select option 1 to display the Performance Reporting panel
(Figure 1-12).  Select Option 2 to display the Performance
Analysis Tools panel (Figure 1-13). If you would like to
view previously saved performance queries or wish to view the
shared performance queries delivered with the product select
option 3 to display the Performance Manager Catalog panel
(Figure 1-14).
