Supplementary Display Windows
By default, both entity and state icons are shown on Windows NT systems. On Windows
95 and 98 systems, only state icons are shown by default. In either case, you can change
the default behavior.
To alter the icon set used by the OEM:
1. Open the OEM Options dialog box and click the Advanced tab. (See Opening the
OEM Advanced Options Dialog Box on page 3-15.)
2. Set the Show State Icons Only option:
•
To show state icons alone, check the Show State Icons Only check box. Entity
icons are not displayed, greatly reducing GDI resource consumption under
Windows 95 and 98.
•
To show both entity and state icons, clear the Show State Icons Only check
box. The full OEM entity and state icon matrix is used. On Windows 95 and 98
systems, this option can consume a large amount of the available GDI resources,
making it difficult to run other applications concurrently with the OEM and its
associated clients and adapters.
3. Click OK or Apply to save the change, or click Cancel to discard it.
Supplementary Display Windows
In addition to the standard Alerts, Max Alerts, and Custom View windows, the OEM
Server provides windows so you can view the status of various internal OEM
components. These windows are particularly useful for debugging and for verifying that
the OEM environment is operating correctly.
