DB-Monitor Screens

This chapter serves as a reference for the

DB-M

onitor screens. You can use it

to quickly determine the purpose and use of a specific screen or option.

To start the monitor, execute tbmonitor from the command line. If you are
logged in as user informix, the main menu appears. All users other than
informix

 have access only to the Status menu.

All menus and screens function in the same way. For menus, use arrow keys
or the

SPACEBAR

 to scroll to the option you want to execute and press

RETURN

, or you can press the first letter of the option. When you move from

one option to the next by pressing the

SPACEBAR

or an arrow key, the option

explanation (line 2 of the menu) changes.

If you want general instructions for a specific screen, press

CTRL-W

. If you

need help to determine what you should enter in a field on the screen, move
the highlight to the field (by using the Tab key) and press

CTRL-F

 or

F2

.

Some of the menus, including the main menu, are ring menus. Ring menus are
indicated with three dots (...) on the far right or left side. The dots indicate
that you can continue to move in the direction of the dots with the arrow keys
or the

SPACEBAR

 to view other options.

The cross-references that appear next to each of the menu descriptions direct
you to pages in this manual that provide instructions and advice to help you
perform the task correctly.
