Introduction to SPMA for the TRMMIM
1-4 Conventions
Some windows within SPMA applications can be re-sized; those windows will
display the standard window resizing handles employed by your windowing
system. Re-sizing a window doesn’t re-size the information in the window; it just
changes the amount of information that can be displayed (see
Figure 1-1 ). When
you shrink a window, scroll bars will appear as necessary so that you can scroll to
view all the information that is available.
Figure 1-1. Window Conventions
Some windows will also contain a button; selecting this button
launches a History window ( Figure 1-2 ) which lists all footer messages that have
been displayed since the window was first invoked. This window can help you
keep track of management actions you have taken since launching a management
application.
