Selecting the Client State Reporting Option
Within the OEM environment, multiple clients can report on the same object and can
report different states for that object. The OEM handles this by tracking each entry
separately and performing state arbitration and propagation to ensure that only the most
critical state value is forwarded to EM framework adapters and reflected in higher layers
of the hierarchy.
When displaying this data in a Custom View window, you can determine whether an
entry is shown for each client that reported a particular item, or if only one entry
corresponds to the highest reported state for the item.
To specify that all client entries are shown or that only the maximum client entry is
shown:
1. Choose Properties from the View menu, or click the Configure View Properties
button on the toolbar.
The properties dialog box for the Custom View appears.
2. Specify how the client state is to be reported:
•
To display all reported states for each object, click All Clients in the State
Reporting panel.
•
To display only the maximum reported state for each object, click Max Client
in the State Reporting panel.
3. Click OK or Apply to save the change, or click Cancel to discard it.
Altering the Window Layout
By default, each Custom View window contains a toolbar, a status bar, and possibly a
links bar, depending on the display mode selected. You can hide some or all of these
objects based on how you use the OEM.
To enable or disable display of the toolbar, status bar, or links bar:
1. Choose Properties from the View menu, or click the Configure View Properties
button on the toolbar.
