During an active session, the pointing device is useful for making selections from
the remote library manager console menu bar or for performing operations on the
library manager display.The keystrokes mode (local or remote) is for the remote
library manager console keyboard only and has no effect on the pointing device.
The remote library manager console pointing device determines the position of the
pointing device of the library manager. The remote library manager console pointing
device can move the library manager pointing deviceif the following conditions are
true:
vThe remote library manager console session window is the active window where
the remote library manager console user is giving pointing device commands.
vThe remote library manager console pointing device position is within the remote
library manager console session window.
Note: The pointing device displayed on the remote library manager console may
not be the same as on the library manager because of differences in the
display drivers.
Excessive movement of the pointing device during the active state in the remote
library manager console window can cause the operation to run slowly because the
pointing device movement sends information across the network.
Note: If you perform an operation that is not allowed on the remote library manager
console, the library manager console beeps once.
When the remote library manager console is in the active state, the library manager
pointing device is disabled. During the monitoring, busy, or suspended states, the
pointing device for the remote library manager console and the library manager
function independently.
