Enabling OEM Timer Tracing
It might appear that the OEM Server is not functioning correctly or is a bottleneck
between clients and framework adapters. Under these circumstances, use the OEM timer
tracing facility to view how the OEM is managing its internal queues and how quickly it
is responding to requests.
To enable or disable timer tracing:
1. Open the OEM Options dialog box and click the Logging tab. (See Opening the
OEM Logging Dialog Box on page 3-13.)
2. Set the Timer Event Trace Enabled option:
To enable timer tracing, in the Tracing panel, check the Timer Event Trace
Enabled check box.

Enabled check box.

Font Options
Use the Fonts tab to alter the display font used in Alerts, Max Alerts, Clients, Objects,
Pop-ups, and Log display windows. You can change the font itself, adjust the font size,
and specify the bold, italic, strikethrough, and underline styles.
To alter the OEM font settings:
1. Do one of the following:
Right-click the OEM icon in the system tray and choose Options from the
menu.
From the View menu of any OEM display window, choose Options.
Caution. Timer tracing is disabled by default. You can enable it as needed, but doing so can
have a severe performance impact on the OEM Server. Use timer tracing only to diagnose an
existing problem.
