When you start Application Performance Analyzer/ISPF, the Observation Session List panel is displayed. A list of commonly used primary commands is displayed at the top of the screen to assist those users new to Application Performance Analyzer. Once you become familiar with the Observation Session List, these commands can be hidden from view by entering the HIDE primary command. They can be redisplayed by entering the SHOW primary command.
This panel displays a scrollable list of all the observation session requests, whether they are complete, active, or pending. The list is usually filtered by the owner ID, so each user would only see their own requests. The list can also be filtered by Job Name. The SETUP command is used to specify how the list is to be filtered.
A sample Observation Session List panel is shown here:

This panel is used to initiate a new observation request, by using the "NEW" primary command, or the "NEW" line command (described in the next section). The"NEW" primary command and the "NEW" line command both cause the Schedule New Measurement panels to be displayed. For Threshold Monitor requests, use the "TNEW" primary command. For more information about Threshold Monitor requests, see Using the TNEW command.
This panel is also used to access the Reports menu, by entering the "R" line command on the request number for which you want to generate Performance Reports. The "NEW" and "R" commands are the most commonly used commands on this panel, and provide access to the primary functions of Application Performance Analyzer: submitting Observation Requests, and generating Performance Reports for a completed Observation Request.
