Refreshing Popup Navigation Window Contents

Because the OEM Server automatically updates all display windows whenever new data

is received from a client application, there is usually no reason to perform a manual

refresh. However, if a window has been locked for some period of time, it might not

contain current data. To update the contents with the latest data, choose Refresh from

the View menu.

Navigating to Client Applications

To choose which client you want to activate, click the corresponding entry in the list.

This action causes a callback to be sent to that application. The Popup Navigation

window closes automatically once you have selected an item.

Closing the Popup Navigation Window

To close the Popup Navigation window, choose Close from the View menu, or click the

close box.

The Log Window

The Log window contains a list of all messages stored in the OEM activity log. Client

applications, enterprise management framework adapters, and the OEM server itself

generate these messages when significant events or errors occur. The OEM log serves as

a central repository of OEM subsystem status information.

Opening a Log Window

You can open a Log window using either of the following methods:

•

Right-click the OEM icon in the system tray and choose Show Log from the menu.

•

From the OEM Options window Advanced tab, choose Log.

The Re-Use Display Forms option setting does not affect log window creation. The

OEM always reuses an existing log window unless that window is locked.

Log Window Fields

The Log window contains the following fields for each message:

Index The index of the entry within the OEM activity log.

Time Logged The time at which the entry was written to the log.

Source Type The type of application that generated the message. The choices

are OEM Server, Adapter, or Client.

Source Name The name of the application that generated the message. In the

case of the OEM Server, this value is OEM. Each adapter and

client uses its own name.
