Configuring Function Keys
F16 while entering an EMS Analyzer command returns a message indicating the
expected input.
Configuring Function Keys
You can use the ALIAS command to set up function keys. The EMS Analyzer default
custom file already contains a set of function key configuration commands. To view the
EMS Analyzer default custom file, see Appendix C, EMSACSTM File.
Setting up Function Keys
You can use function keys as predefined keywords or commands by using the ALIAS
command.
This example associates F3 to the DUMPLOG command. Pressing the F3 function key
has the same result as typing the command DUMPLOG.
-> alias F3 dumplog
This example associates F6 to altering the search criteria in the default filter to Expand
subsystem events:
-> alias F6 alter, ssid "tandem.expand"
This example associates the keyword LAST24H to set up the start time and stop time:
-> alias last24h alter, starttime 24h, stoptime eof
This example associates F11 to altering the event display to token format:
-> alias F11 alter, format token

DISTRIBUTOR $Y202 -> alias f3 dumplog
