ePortal System Properties

The following table describes the properties displayed in the details pane for a managed ePortal system. Use this table to help you interpret and enter data in the details pane.

Property	Definition
Class	Indicates the fully qualified class of the object. Used to match events reports to the object. This property is read-only. This class is derived from Windows System.
Instance	Indicates the fully qualified instance of the object. Used to match events reports to the object. This property is read-only.
Label	Specifies the name that identifies this managed object in a topology.
Persist	Controls whether or not this object is retained when the Operations Sentinel Services are terminated. Use the arrow () in the Persist property to select True or False.
Notes	A multiline property that you may use however you choose. You can alter its value by running the SPO.MakeNote external application for the managed device.
Default Action	Indicates the action that is initiated when you double-click the ePortal system or press Enter while it is selected in a table or topology. Use the arrow () in the Default Action property to select one of the available external applications for the ePortal system. The default action is the SP_ePortal Manager. 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. The default action you specify for an individual system has precedence over the default action specified for the class .
Identifier	Specifies the name of the ePortal system preceded by the names of the objects that contain it. For example, the identifier of a system in a server is server.system. This property is read-only.
Image	Displays the image that represents the system in a topology. The default value of this property is the default specified for the ePortal Systems object class. To select an image different from the default, click the arrow () in the Image property. The new image 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 Propertyfor an example of how to use this property.
Name	Indicates the name by which the ePortal system is known within Operations Sentinel. The name is used in alerts and log files to identify the system. You can rename an ePortal system by editing this property. The name of the new system Must be unique; no other system defined in the Managed Objects node can have the same name. Cannot be more than 64 characters in length. Cannot contain any of the following characters: \ / : * ? " < > \| Cannot start with a period (.). After you rename an ePortal system, messages and event reports for the system are written to log files with the new name. However, any existing Operations Sentinel log files for that system are not renamed. This is the name of the CSE-based ePortal that is displayed with the ePortal managed object. It is recommended that the name include the CSE number and the logical number of the ePortal Specialty Partition. For example, for ePortal 1 in CSE1, the name could be CSE1-EP1. It is also recommended that this name be used for the s-Par Environment name.
Server	Specifies the server the system belongs to. Use the arrow () in the Server property to select a previously defined server or < None >.
Tag	A property that your site can use however you choose. You can use the Tag property as an identifier to make filtering of managed objects easier. A consistent scheme for Tag values can eliminates the need for complex filters or naming conventions. Specifies a value that enables the ePortal Manager to be launched from the ePortal node in the topology. *Note:* You must manually set this property to “ePortalProcessor”. The wizard does not automatically set the value of the Tag property. See Setting the Tag Property for an example of how to use this property.
Monitor	Specifies whether the communication link between the ePortal system and the Operations Sentinel server is monitored by Operations Sentinel. This property should be set to False because the ePortal system is not monitored. The default is True. The value of Monitor does not affect logging of messages for the system. Select False while using the wizard. The default is True.
External Network Name	Specifies the network name or IP address to reach the ePortal Manager. While using the wizard, you must specify the IP address for the ePortal Manager. The default ePortal Manager IP address is 172.28.103.x0, where x is the ePortal logical number 1-4.
Network Name	Specifies the network name of the ePortal system. As the ePortal system is not monitored, the Network Name property must be blank.
Service Processor	Set this property to False because the ePortal system is not a Service Processor. Select False while using the wizard. The default is True.
Connection State	Displays the state of the connection between the Operations Sentinel server and the system. This value affects the display of the connection line to the system in topologies. The value for the ePortal system is always Unmonitored as Operations Sentinel is not attempting to establish a connection to the system because the Monitor property for the system is False. No connection line is drawn around the system.
Console State	Displays the state of the Windows Resource Monitor on the system. The value for ePortal system is always Inactive as the Windows Resource Monitor is not running on the system. This property is read-only.
Policy Current	This property does not apply to ePortal system because the ePortal system is unmonitored and inactive.
Policy Enabled	This property does not apply to ePortal system because the ePortal system is unmonitored and inactive.
Resource Policy	This property does not apply to ePortal system because the ePortal system is unmonitored and inactive.
Agent Version	This property does not apply to ePortal system because the ePortal system is unmonitored and inactive.
Service Processor State	Set the value for ePortal system to Not Applicable because the ePortal system does not act as a Service Processor. This property is read-only.
Host sPar Network Name	Specifies the IP address or network name to reach the s-Par user interface (Platform Console). The default s-Par user interface IP address is 172.28.110.x1, where x is the CSE number 1-16.
Host sPar UUID	Specifies the ePortal Partition s-Par Universal Unique ID (UUID). The ePortal Partition s-Par UUID is used to launch the s-Par Partition Desktop for the ePortal Partition. To obtain the s-Par UUID on the host s-Par UI: Navigate to the s-Par UI (Platform Console) for the CSE hosting the ePortal Partition. Click the ePortal partition name. The screen changes to the ePortal Environment Settings. Copy the 32 digit ID from the Environment UUID and paste it in the Operational Sentinel Console field provided by the wizard. This enables you to launch s-Par desktop partition for the ePortal Partition.
