OEM Property Sheet
The OEM property sheet controls how segments, entities, and objects are displayed in the Open
Enterprise Management (OEM) gateway. Also use this property sheet to control the display of
availability and performance icons.
Enable the OEM gateway when you want an enterprise management gateway view of segments,
entities, and objects known to Dashboard. When you select an entity or object in the OEM
framework, Dashboard reports on the selected segment, entity, or object.
Performance utilization and alert icons representing the relative state of segment, entities, and
objects can also be displayed in the OEM. Icons are automatically propagated upward through
the OEM hierarchy. This propagation algorithm ensures that even when the OEM hierarchy is
collapsed, the highest alerts for segments, entities, or objects are visible.
