Locking the Log Window
•
To specify the tiling method, from the OEM Options window General tab, choose
Top Down or Side By Side.
Locking the Log Window
The OEM Server automatically updates all display windows whenever it receives new
data 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, choose Locked from the View menu.
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 re-enable 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.
Keeping the Log Window on Top
You can specify whether each new Log window created by the OEM always remains on
top. Windows with the On Top property enabled cannot be obscured by any other
window on your system.
When the OEM creates a new Log window, it sets the window’s On Top property based
on the Display Forms Stay On Top option setting:
•
If Display Forms Stay On Top is checked, the new window is created with its On
Top property enabled.
•
If Display Forms Stay On Top is not checked, the new window is created with its
On Top property disabled.
To override the default value and toggle the On Top property of an individual window:
•
If Stay On Top is checked on the View menu, the current window is an On Top
window. To disable the On Top attribute, choose Stay On Top from the View menu.
•
If Stay On Top is not checked on the View menu, the current window is not an On
Top window. To enable the On Top attribute, choose Stay On Top from the View
menu.
•
Repeatedly selecting Stay On Top from the View menu toggles the on top attribute
on and off.
