Placing a monitor on hold suspends all processing until a release request is received. Table 1 identifies the status values required before a monitor can be held.
If a group monitor is held, unless you specify otherwise, the request is extended to all monitors defined to the selected group monitor that have a status that allows them to be held. The status of a monitor may prevent it from participating in the request.
Do the following to start a monitor:
-
From the MIMIX Basic Main Menu, select option
12(Work with monitors) and press Enter. -
From the Work with Monitors display, type a
13(Hold) next to the monitor you want and press F4 (Prompt). -
The Hold Monitor (HLDMON) display appears. If the monitor you selected is a group monitor, press F10 (Additional parameters). The Scope of request prompt appears. If you want to start only the group monitor itself, specify
*NAME. -
Press Enter.
