Use the Window

To generate a CA Mainframe Application Tuner measurement request the next time the job is scheduled, enter Y in the Measurement Request field. An alert with state code PENDing and reason code USER is generated.
To apply the TOP Scope logic following a measurement, enter Y in the Use TOP Scope field. (The Measurement Request field must also be Y.) If the measured job step is in the TOP Scope, the alert state code changes from PEND to OPEN and the measurement is stored. If the job step is not in the TOP Scope, the alert is implicitly closed (state code changed to CIMP) and the measurement is not stored. If N is entered in the Use TOP Scope field, all measurements are stored and the alert state code is OPEN.
To create a text only alert with state code OPEN and reason code TEXT, enter N in the Measurement Request field. A text only alert allows you to document a special event or performance tip for a specific job step without generating a measurement request.
To create a new alert for the displayed job name, step name, and procstep, press Enter. A subsequent panel allows you to document the alert by entering up to 102 lines of text.
To close this window without creating a new alert, press END or PF3.
