Generating a List of Windows and Corresponding Views

Before you can change a window, you must know the name of the view that controls the window you want to change. You can generate a list of all the configurable windows on your system and the views that control their display. This list can be a handy reference when you want to change the display of a window but you do not know the name of the corresponding view. This list is especially helpful since it is specific to your system.

This task assumes that you know how to use the Table Editor. (For more information, see “Horizon Table Editor” in the “Getting Started” chapter of the System Administration Guide.)

Whenever you make a change to Horizon setup, you should exit Horizon and restart it on any workstation where you want the change to take effect.

To generate a list of windows and corresponding views

1 Open the mq_view view in the Table Editor.

Horizon displays the Search window.

2 With the Mq View index highlighted, type an asterisk ( * ) in the Search for field and click OK.

Horizon displays a list of all the views defined on your system.

3 Click Display.
4 Under Choose columns to display, highlight Mq View and Window Title. Remove the highlight for all the other columns.
5 Choose Mq View in the Display Properties group. Enter “2” in the Position field and enter “15” in the Width field.
6 Choose Window Title in the Display Properties group. Enter “25” in the Width field.
7 Click OK.
8 Click Sort.
9 In the Primary Sort column, choose Window Title and click OK.

Horizon displays a list of all the configurable windows in Horizon and their corresponding views. Here is a sample window:

10 If you want to do so, print the list or save the list to a file.
