Initiating the ISPF Interface
After installation, you can initiate the interface at a TSO prompt or on an ISPF command line.
You can initiate the interface in one of following two ways:
- At a TSO prompt, type Fusion and press Enter.
- On an ISPF command line, type TSO Fusion and press Enter.
After you initiate the interface, the platform server primary window is displayed. In the primary window, you can move the cursor to the command prompt by pressing the Tab key or by using the arrows to position the cursor on the menu choice.
The following actions are available from the command prompt:
| Actions | Description |

| Utilities | Browse or edit local data sets. |

| Options | Change the platform server date and time formatting. |

The platform server CONFIG information is defined in the FUSCFG member of the platform server EXECS library. This member gives the user-defined name of the configuration, the name of the started task, and the name of the audit data set. The name of the user-defined configuration is the name used in the platform server CONFIG field.
In this chapter the menu options will be described first and the command prompt options will be described toward the end of this chapter.
