About the OVO Java-based Operator GUI
Comparison of the Java and Motif GUIs
The Java GUI lets you sort messages according to message attributes
(for example, by Date and Time, Node, or Application. In the Motif
GUI, this functionality is available only for the History Message
Browser.
❏ Displaying Messages
In the Java GUI, you can choose between displaying all messages or
only the most recent messages. The number of messages displayed in
the latest messages view is configurable.
❏ Setting Flags
Unlike the Motif GUI, the Java GUI does not constantly update the
SUIAONE flags. That is, the Java GUI does not update flags
immediately when the message status changes. For example, it is
possible for an operator-initiated action to complete before the status
in the browser is set to started.
❏ Acknowledging Messages
In Motif GUI message browsers, you can select the menu item
Acknowledge in Current View: from the Actions menu.
This menu item is not available in the Java GUI.
In the Java GUI, to acknowledge messages based on their severity,
open a View Message Browser, choose a level of severity as filtering
criteria, and acknowledge all messages in the current view. Or click
the Severity column in the browser to sort the messages by severity,
select the messages with level of severity you want, and acknowledge
all messages in the current view.
❏ Owning Messages
The Java GUI lets you own only selected messages. In contrast, the
Motif GUI offers you the choice between owning All and Selected
Messages. If you want to own all messages in a message browser of
the Java GUI, change the preferences settings so the browser
displays all messages, then select and own them all.
