Launching a Task

It is possible to have many tasks open at the same time, although some tasks may require complete control to avoid possible conflicts. The tasks achieve complete control by keeping the task as the center of operation until you close the task window.

To launch a task:

In the SSU Main window, double-click on the task name under Available Tasks to display the main window for the selected task.

Or,

Highlight the task name, and click on OK.

Or,

Use the tab and arrow keys to highlight the desired button, and press the spacebar or <Enter>.

SEL Manager Add-in

Clicking on the SEL Manager Add-in task brings up the Server Event Log (SEL) viewer. You can load and view the current SEL data stored in the BMC, save the currently loaded SEL data to a file, view previously saved SEL data, or clear the SEL.

When the SEL Manager is first invoked, it loads the System Event Log entries from the server. If there are no SEL entries, a message box is displayed.

The SEL Manager main window is based on a multi-column format. All SEL entries are displayed in this window, one system event per row. Each column can be sorted by clicking on the column heading. The event number is tied to the particular event even if any other column sorts the list. The following keyboard keys are used to scroll the event columns. The F4 key shifts the event columns left, while the F5 key shifts the event columns right.

The SEL Manager has the following menus:

File Menu

The File menu has the following options:

•Open Opens an SEL data file for viewing.

•Save As… Saves the currently loaded SEL data to a file.

•Exit Quits the SEL Viewer.
