The Popups Window
The Popups Window
The Popups window contains a list of all pop-up menu items defined in the OEM
database. Pop-up menu items are added by client applications. They consist of
command-callback message pairs that define the operations each client can perform on a
given type of object. The purpose of this window is to provide debugging information
and to validate the contents of internal OEM tables.
Opening a Popups Window
You can open a Popups window using any of the following methods:
•
Right-click the OEM icon in the system tray and choose Show Popups from the
menu.
•
From an OEM Clients window View menu or Objects window menu, choose
Popups.
•
From the OEM Options window Advanced tab, choose Popups.
The Re-Use Display Forms option setting impacts how the Popups window is created:
•
If Re-Use Display Forms is checked, an Popups window is created the first time
you choose Popups from a menu. If you subsequently choose Popups from a menu
again, the existing Popups window is used to display the newly requested data.
•
If Re-Use Display Forms is cleared, a new Popups window is created every time
you choose Popups from a menu.
Popups Window Fields
The Popups window contains the following fields for each popup menu item defined in
the OEM database:
Index The index of the entry within the OEM’s popup table. This value
is an integer between 1 and the number of popup menu items,
inclusive.
Entity Name The type of entity to which the popup menu applies; for example,
DISK, CPU, or PROCESS.
Menu Caption The caption string that appears on the popup menu itself.
Callback
Command
The command message returned to the client application when
this popup menu item is selected in an enterprise management
framework.
Client Name The name of the client application that defined this popup menu.
Callback Indication of whether the client application has supplied a
callback object. If it has, this field contains the value <Present>.
If the client application has not supplied a callback object, this
field contains the value <Nothing>.
