The information display parameters set the default screen configuration
and the default automatic screen update (ASU) interval.
Figure 40 shows the information display parameters panel displayed
when you select option 2 from the profile options panel.
- Initial screen
- When an information display panel is first displayed during any CICSPlex® SM
session, its display area contains a single, open window by default. If you
would like to be presented with a different screen configuration at the start
of a session (for example, if you have discovered that you could usefully
start each CICSPlex SM session with several windows, each having a different context
and scope), you can specify the name of that screen configuration in the Initial
screen field of the information display parameters panel.
For more information
about screen configurations, see Saving and reusing screen configurations.
- ASU interval
- The ASU command, described in Refreshing all views automatically, activates the
automatic screen update facility. When this facility is active, the data in
all unlocked windows is updated automatically at specified intervals.
You can define the length of the ASU interval on the ASU command. Alternatively,
you can use the default value, which is specified in the ASU interval field
of the information display parameters panel.
By default, the ASU interval
is 15. You can overtype the default ASU interval with a value in the range
15 through 999.
Notes:
- A small interval adds to the CPU overhead when there is a large amount
of data to be updated.
- You should consider increasing the ASU interval value when the status
code for all or most windows frequently changes from W (waiting) to P (pending).
(This is because, in these circumstances, the window contents are unlikely
to be changing between screen updates.)
- You can use the ASU display command to override temporarily the default
ASU interval. This new interval remains in effect until the ASU facility is
next deactivated. The minimum ASU value you can specify on the ASU command
is 3.
