Use the System Message Tab
The System Message tab contains a system message control to convey information to users. The
system message can be updated by a special role of user called a Publisher. The list of publishers
is fixed and is comprised of:
• SUPER.SERVICES
• ROLE.MGR
• ROLE.DBA
Any user belonging to one of these roles can modify a system message. All other users can only
view messages.
The system message is updated by a publisher and is comprised of the message body and the
time of its last update. The message body is a text area The text area supports cut, copy, paste,
undo and redo capabilities that are accessible through keyboard shortcuts and a context menu
that appears when the text area is right-clicked.
This figure shows a system message and context menu:
Create a System Message
To create a system message:
1. Log on as a Publisher user (SUPER.SERVICES, or a member of ROLE.MGR or ROLE.DBA).
2. Click the Monitoring area. For more information, see “Select an Area” (page 35) .
3. In the right pane, click the System Message tab.
4. Type the system message text in the right pane.
5. Click [ Apply ].
The text area is displayed as an editable window if the user is connecting to the system as a
Publisher user. Otherwise, the text area is read-only for all other users.
The button bar contains [ Apply ] and [ Refresh ].
[ Apply ] is enabled if a Publisher modifies the text within the text area. When clicked, the text
is updated to the server.
[ Refresh ] causes the text area to be synchronized with the data from the server. If there are
changes made to the text area since the last refresh, a confirmation dialog box asks if it is okay
to lose the local changes.
For all other users, [ Apply ] is hidden and only [ Refresh ] appears.
