Graph Window
You can create one or more Graph windows from a Browse window. Graph windows
are useful for maintaining multiple views of specific node-entity-object combinations.
These windows update in real-time to reflect the nodes, entities, and objects you
select. For more information, see Graph Window on page 75.
Report Window
You can get detailed reports about a selected node, entity, or object in Browse or
Graph windows from context-sensitive pop-up menus. Report windows update in real-
time to reflect customized reports about the nodes, entities, and objects that you
select. For more information, see Report Window on page 76.
ASAP Properties Window
Use the ASAP Properties window to customize your ASAP view, including the entities
to retrieve from the NonStop OS host systems, the attributes of each entity to display,
the font to use, and the options to use for graphing and maintaining your Host Session.
For more information, see Section 5: Configuring ASAP.
Session Window
ASAP can retrieve both real-time and historic statistics information. Through the
Session window, you can view, start, stop, and track the progress of your Host
Session. You can start and stop your Host Session using the Session window's menus
and toolbar. For more information, see Session Window on page 80.
Real-time Data Management
ASAP maintains a real-time hierarchical cache memory of statistics to improve
performance. This performance data cache minimizes the amount of host I/O required
for standard real-time displays and provides fast response times for specific interactive
data browsing queries. For more information on real-time data retrieval, see Entity
Property Sheet on page 89.
OEM and OIL Views
You can use the Open Enterprise Management Gateway (OEM) or Object Integration
Layer (OIL) to obtain high-level views of NonStop OS nodes, entities, and objects.
Select an object in the OEM or OIL to generate an ASAP report on that object.
Statistics and state information can also be automatically propagated upward through
the OIL tree view on a priority basis. The algorithm ensures that even when you
collapse the OIL tree view, the relative utilization and state of nodes, entities, or
objects are visible. For more information, see OEM Property Sheet on page 98 and
OIL Property Sheet on page 100.
