Setup
The View→Setup menu option brings up a tabbed dialog box allowing
the user to select fields to be extracted as well as general product setup.
None of the changes made in Setup take effect until you click OK or Apply.
Use the general setup pane to select the level of logging that will be
used for the log. Available levels are:
- Off - No log entries will be made.
- Severe - Only severe errors will be logged.
- Warning - All errors will be logged.
- Info - Processing events and errors will be logged.
- Config - All of the above errors will be logged plus
configuration information.
Directories containing additional files for use by the Data Server are
also specified on this pane, These files can be of two types:
- Exits - Additional recording exits. The file extension is ".bsh".
- Customized Views - View definitions saved using the "export"
feature of MAINVIEW Explorer. The file extension is ".vdf".
Directories may be added or removed using the corresponding buttons.
The tabs on the bottom of the dialog pane allow other setup areas to be
selected:
- Host Computers - Define the host
servers to which the Data Server will connect in order to retrieve data.
If multiple host servers are defined that connect to the same set of
systems, any one of them can be used to retrieve data.
- Recording Requests - Select among
the available contexts and products defined on the hosts. These are
defined using the PLEX views of MAINVIEW. Within each product, you select
views, and fields within each view. For each field, or group of fields,
requests can be entered for periodic recording.
The buttons across the bottom have the following functions:
- OK - Apply any changes and terminate setup.
- Apply - Apply changes to the running server.
- Cancel - Terminate setup without applying changes.
- Help - Invoke the help information for setup.
