Window Layout
The TIBCO Messaging Manager leverages the advanced features of modern terminal emulators to display specific information in the terminal window.
Command Area
As in a standard console window interface, the line with the cursor is the active line. But unlike a typical console window, MSGMX displays drop-down lists for command and option auto-completion with optional help text about each potential selection as you build the command line.
Bottom Status Bar
The bottom status bar displays one of several status messages providing key information about the currently managed system.
To cycle through the different status bar displays, selectF1.
The status bar display automatically refreshes periodically, but you can refresh the live status display at any time by selectingF5. (The frequency of the status updates can be configured via the msgmx command.)
Temporary Error Messages
If a command string being entered contains an error, MSGMX displays the error message and correction suggestions below the command-line area above the status bar. Error messages are discussed in Error Checking.
