Using Operator Console Services › Run Multiple OCS Panels

Run Multiple OCS Panels

You can use the screen-splitting function to run two OCS windows in parallel on the same screen.

You can have one screen window operating in OCS with the other part-screen or window in full-screen mode (for example, as a menu).

Set Window IDs

When two OCS windows are running simultaneously, it helps if you can distinguish each window while executing NCL procedures.

To set a name for each OCS window, enter the OCSID command followed by a 1- to 8-character name at the command prompt on an OCS window and press Enter. The name for each window appears to the right of the line, immediately above the command line.

Example: Set Window ID

To set a window ID of NET01, enter the following command:

OCSID NET01

After pressing Enter, NET01 appears to the right of the line immediately above the command line.

Note: You can set profile attributes for each OCS window, so that two OCS windows on the same terminal can have different profiles and appearances.
