OIL Property Sheet
you can browse multiple NonStop OS nodes, entities, and objects from a Microsoft
Explorer tree view.
When you click an entity or object in the OIL tree, the main Browse window to the right
of the OIL displays availability and performance information for the selected object or
objects.
When you use ASAP with the OIL, the main ASAP Browse window is positioned to the
right of the OIL window and resized to match the OIL window's size. You can then
display Graph and Report windows to the right of the main Browse window.
Populate OIL with Objects Check Box
The Populate OIL with Objects check box controls whether the OIL view is populated
with the objects known to ASAP.
If you check the Populate OIL with Objects check box, entities in the OIL tree are
expanded to display all of the objects under an entity when you double-click an entity in
the OIL.
If you do not check this check box, node names and corresponding entity names
appear in the OIL, but the objects under an entity do not appear in the OIL when you
double-click an entity name.
When you click an entity name in the OIL, the main Browse window displays the
performance information for that entity regardless of how this option is set. In very
large networks with thousands of objects, the performance of slower workstations
improves if you do not select this option.
Report on Objects in Related OIL Subdomain Check Box
On the OIL property sheet, the Report on Objects in Related Subdomain check box
controls how ASAP behaves when objects are selected in the OIL.
When this check box is checked, a selected object and all objects in the same
subdomain are graphed.
If this check box is not checked, only the selected object is graphed.
For example, if the check box is checked and \Chicago\Cpu\0 is selected in the OIL, all
CPUs in \Chicago are graphed in the ASAP Browse window. If the check box is not
checked, only CPU 0 is graphed.
Show Utilization in OIL Check Box
To display performance utilization icons representing the performance of nodes,
entities, and objects in the OIL, check the Show Utilization in OIL check box. When this
check box is checked, performance utilization icons are automatically propagated
upward through the OIL tree hierarchy based on the utilization thresholds you specify.
You can specify utilization thresholds using the Thresholds button on the OIL property
sheet or the Browse window toolbar.
