Function
Key Special Requirements
F12 Causes the current status-configuration file to accept the values on the screen.
Depending on whether the item already exists, F12 either adds the described
status item to the Network Status Summary screen or reconfigures the current
status item with the new values. If you selected more than one item on the
Network Status Summary screen, F12 advances you to the next item, displaying
its current values. Pressing F12 multiple times advances you through all selected
items, finally returning you to the Network Status Summary screen. To return
immediately to the Network Status Summary screen, press F16.
F13 Retrieves the default values for display types associated with the status server
class, usually in order to create a new status item. Has two ways to perform this
retrieval:
•
Enter the name of a specific display type and server class in fields 2 and 5,
then press F13. ViewPoint queries the specified server and, on locating the
display type, fills in default values in other appropriate fields. You can then
fill in other fields and modify default values. Press F12 to add this new
status to the end of the status configuration file.
•
Leave the display type field (field 2) blank; enter the name of a specific
server class in field 5 and press F13. ViewPoint retrieves the first display
type for the specified server. You can then fill in other fields, or modify
default values, and press F12. ViewPoint adds the configuration of the
Status Screen to the default configuration file, Statdflt, for later use. Press
SF13 to retrieve the next display type and modify it.
After all the display types are retrieved, SF13 causes the first display type to be
displayed again. You can use F16 to return to the Network Status Summary
screen or use F13 to scan display types for some other status server class.
F16 Returns to the Network Status Summary screen without making any change to
the configuration of the current status item.
