as needed.
To adjust the priority of an adapter:

clicking the Adapters tab. (See Viewing the Adapter List
on page 3-9.)

3. Click + (plus) to move the adapter up in the list or – (minus) to move it down.
The adapter list is updated accordingly.

Cancel to discard any changes you have made.
Restoring Default Adapter Settings

Integration Layer (OIL) adapter, the Tivoli NetView adapter, the HP OpenView adapter,
and the CA TNG adapter.
To reset the adapter list to contain only default entries:
1. Display the currently defined adapters by opening the OEM Options dialog box and
clicking the Adapters tab. (See Viewing the Adapter List
on page 3-9.)
2. Click Defaults.
The adapter list is updated to contain only the preconfigured adapters.
