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 | Browses or edits local datasets. |

| Node | Displays the list of remote node definitions. |
| Options | Changes the Platform Server date and time formatting. |
| Help | Learns how to use the Platform Server and view other information relevant for this application. |
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 dataset. The name of the user-defined configuration is the name used in the Platform Server CONFIG field.
The menu options are described first and the command prompt options are described later.
