Information Bar

The Information Bar, located at the bottom of the Enterprise Manager screen, is always available whether you are working with editors or views. The information that can be obtained from the Information Bar is listed from the left to the right. In this bar, the SAM last pulse message is visible and the user and database connection information is available.

The Information Bar has or displays the following:

  • Escalation Acknowledgment: This icon only appears if there are escalations that need to be acknowledged. The number displayed indicates the number of pending acknowledgments. A yellow pop-up also flashes above the icon indicating pending acknowledgments. Clicking on the icon opens the Escalation Acknowledgment screen, where the escalations can be acknowledged.
  • Status Line: This section is blank until there is status information to display (e.g., if the List view is opened and you expand a date and schedule and click on a job to highlight it, then the date, schedule, and job name will be displayed in the status line).
  • SAM Pulse: The SAM Pulse icon has a green flash of color that constantly circles around the icon if SAM is in a started state. If the SAM service goes down, this flash of color circling the icon will change to red and a glowing red dot will also appear in the middle of the circle. Once SAM is restarted, the color will change back to green, and the red dot will disappear. By holding the mouse pointer over the SAM pulse icon, the SAM pulse date and time will be displayed.
  • Connection Information: The connection information shows the user who is currently logged in, the server name where the SAM is installed, and the Database name.
  • Activity Information: Activity information may flash on the right section of the Information Bar (e.g., if the Bar Chart screen is opening, you may refer to a message that states: fetching bar chart data.
  • Notifications: Occasionally, when you log into the EM, notifications will be visible in the center above the Information Bar. The EM will check the license each time at login, so notifications could include messages relating to License information. You will have to acknowledge the notification. There will be an indication of the notification (an x in a red circle) in the Information Bar. Holding the mouse pointer over the red circle will cause the Notifications to be displayed again.
