Aligning Max Alerts Windows
2. Choose Defaults, Size To Window, or Size To Contents. The behavior of each
of these options is as follows:
The OEM saves the adjusted column widths in the system registry. These values are
used the next time a Max Alerts window is created.
Aligning Max Alerts Windows
You can resize and align all Max Alerts windows using the dimensions of the currently
selected Max Alerts window.
•
To align Max Alerts windows, choose Align Windows from the View menu. All
Max Alerts windows are tiled and resized to match the current window.
•
To specify the tiling method, from the OEM Options window General tab, choose
Top Down or Side By Side.
Locking the Max Alerts Window
The OEM Server automatically updates all display windows whenever new data is
received from a client application. In some cases, you might want to prevent this action
from occurring for a particular window; for example, if you are analyzing the data in the
window and want to ensure that it does not change until you are finished.
To lock and unlock a window:
•
To lock a display window, from the View menu, choose Locked.
The indicator (Locked) is appended to the window title, and the OEM does not
update the window contents if new data is received. You can manually update the
window at any time by choosing Refresh from the View menu.
•
To unlock a display window and reenable updates, choose Locked from the View
menu again.
The (Locked) indicator disappears, and the OEM updates the window the next time
new data is received.
•
Repeatedly selecting Locked from the View menu toggles the locked attribute on
and off.
