Property

Definition

Base Class

Indicates the class that this class extended from. If blank, this class is not derived from another class. If you change this property, any managed objects and derived classes based on this class are removed.

Default Action

Indicates the action that is launched when you double-click a managed object or press Enter while it is selected in a table or topology. This property provides the default action for every managed object of this class that has already been defined, as well as those that you define later. However, you can specify another value for an individual managed object.

Use the arrow () in the Default Action property to select one of the available actions for the managed object or < None >.The default action is<Default>, followed by the name of default action. < None > is available as a selection and indicates no action. The list of available actions can include external applications you have defined and predefined actions supplied by Unisys. The external applications included in the selection list depend on the Object Filters you specify in the External Applications node.

See Setting the Default Action for a Class for information on setting the Default Action for each object class.

Description

Displays a description of this class.

Click the ellipsis () in the Description property. Enter the description in the window that appears and click OK.

Dynamic Population

Indicates, when True, that objects of this class are created dynamically by AC event reports, and deleted dynamically by DE event reports.

Use the arrow () in the Dynamic Population property to select True or False.

Image

Displays the image that represents each managed object of this class in a topology. Operations Sentinel provides a default image for each class. However, you can select a different custom image for the class, if you choose.

To select a different default image, click the arrow () in the Image property. The new icon should be small for better performance and visibility. Regardless of the type or size you use, Operations Sentinel automatically converts the image into a 24 x 24 bitmap. You must know where the new image file is stored to select it for the Image property.

See Changing the Image for a Class for information on specifying a different custom image for the class.

Managed Object Count

Displays the number of managed objects defined for this class.

Object Class

Displays the name of this class. If you change this property, any managed objects and derived classes based on this class are removed.

Persist

Controls whether or not dynamically created objects in this class, by default, are retained when the Operations Sentinel Services are terminated. You can override this value for specific objects in this class.

Use the arrow () in the Persist property to select True or False.

Reinitialize

Controls whether or not dynamically created objects in this class are automatically deleted when the managed system containing them reestablishes a connection to the Operations Sentinel server.

Use the arrow () in the Reinitialize property to select True or False.

Timeout Period

Indicates the time, in seconds, that an event report must be received for an object in this class, or the object is automatically deleted. Applies only to objects that are created dynamically. A value of 0 indicates that objects in this class do not time out.

Click the timeout value in the Timeout Period property and enter a new value.
