Locking the Custom View Window
To resize all columns at once:
1. From the View menu, choose Size Columns.
2. Choose Defaults, Size To Window or Size To Contents:
The OEM stores the adjusted column widths in the view definition file when you
subsequently save the view configuration. The values are then restored the next time
the view is opened.
Locking the Custom View Window
The OEM Server automatically updates all Custom View 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 Custom View window, choose Locked from the View menu from the
menu, or click Lock Window on the toolbar. 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 from the menu or by clicking Refresh on the toolbar.
•
To unlock a display window and re-enable updates, choose Locked from the View
menu from the menu, or click Unlock Window on the toolbar. The (Locked)
indicator disappears, and the OEM updates the window the next time new data is
received.
•
Repeatedly selecting Locked from the View menu from the menu or clicking Lock
Window/Unlock Window on the toolbar toggles the locked attribute on and off.
Keeping the Custom View Window on Top
You can specify whether each new Custom View 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 Custom View window, it sets the window’s On Top
property based on the Display Forms Stay On Top option setting. If the Display Forms
Stay On Top check box is checked, the new window is created with its On Top property
enabled. If the Display Forms Stay On Top check box is not checked, the new window is
created with its On Top property disabled. You can override the default value or toggle
the On Top property of a window.
