The HPCA Administrator CSDB Editor has an Options dialog box where you can customize some of the features of the HPCA Administrator CSDB Editor.
To open the Options dialog box:
The following table describes the General tab options.
Option | Function and Use |
---|---|
Window & Font Settings | Select the Save on Exit checkbox to save certain window settings and the font to use for displaying text when you close the HPCA Administrator CSDB Editor window. The window settings include the view setting, for example, large icons, small icons, list, or details, for the tree and list views of the HPCA Administrator CSDB Editor window, and the relative width of each session window. The window settings are saved independently for each level of the HPCA Administrator CSDB. Clicking Save Now saves the current window settings and the font in use. To change the font, select a font from the dialog box that opens when you click View > Fonts from the menus. |
Open Class Editor When | Select A New Class is Added checkbox to open the Editing Class dialog box when you add a class. Selecting A Class is Copied opens the Editing Class dialog box when you copy a class. Since you will most likely want to edit a newly copied or newly added class, HP recommends that you select these two options. |
Show Class Names Next to Descriptions | Shows the HPCA internal name for classes next to their display names in the tree view and in the list view. The internal name will appear in parentheses next to the display name. This is useful if you usually do not use the Details View for the list view. The Details View in the list view window always shows the internal name for classes in the Type column. |
Show n Instance Prefix(es) in the Tree | This option can be set to 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 to control how many levels of instance name prefixes--delimited by the underscore character--will be compressible and expandable in the tree view. This is described in "Navigating the Tree Structure". |
Show Grid Lines When List Is Set To Details View | Displays grid lines in the list view when its view option is set to Details. |
Uppercase the User ID at HPCA Admin CSDB Editor Logon | Automatically converts the User ID into all uppercase. |
Lock the splitter bar distance to the right side of the screen | Locks the width of the right side of the HPCA Administrator CSDB Editor window during resizing. When this check box is not selected and the window is resized, the width of the left side of the window remains fixed, and the width of the right side of the window varies. |
The following table describes the Instance Options tab options.
Options | Functions and Use |
---|---|
Prompt | Selecting these check boxes causes HPCA Administrator CSDB Editor to prompt you before completing the actions indicated by their descriptions. |
Warn before trying to display more than n instances | In large desired states, certain classes such as FILE or USER can contain many instances. If you attempt to view the instances of a class that contains more instances than this option setting, a warning dialog box opens. This gives you an opportunity to filter the class instances, before they are displayed. This helps avoid slow performance issue.Trying to display too many instances will slow down the HPCA Administrator CSDB Editor and you will have to scroll through a large list to find the instances you want to work with.
In the warning dialog box:
|
When Displaying Instance Attributes, Show Attribute | Determines which columns to display such as Name, Description, or both in the Details view in the list view of the window, when you open an instance by double-clicking its name in the tree view. |
Use Edit Masks When Editing Instances | Determines whether the Edit Instance dialog box will be sensitive to the attribute type in the data entry area of the dialog box. If you select this option, attributes that hold logical data such as Yes or No have check boxes in the data entry area. Attributes that have multiple choices have drop-down lists in the data entry area. A flag set will appear as a series of check boxes in the data entry area. You can set the mask by entering the valid choices for an attribute within square brackets at the end of the attribute's description in the class definition. If you do not select this option, all data entry in the Edit Instance dialog box will be plain text. For more information, see HP Client Automation Enterprise Administrator User Guide. |
Highlight _BASE_ inherited variables with an Underbar ![]() | Select this checkbox to see which values in an instance are inherited from the _BASE_INSTANCE_ of the class. The inherited instances will show with a red underscore. |
The following table describes the Advanced tab options.
