The June 2012 Patch Release for Operations Center v5.0 contains the following functionality and enhancements described in the following topics:
Operations Center now allows the import and export of calendars with models.
The following features have been added to Operations Center to enhance the ability to create custom node styles and custom drawings for the Layout view:
Custom Drawing Charts and Gauges:
Charts and gauges showing performance metrics can now be easily integrated into Layout view custom drawings. For information, see Integrating Performance Metric Charts and Gauges into a Drawing
in the Operations Center 5.0 Custom Drawing and Layout Guide.
Node Style Preview Element:
When creating custom node styles (or templates), a preview element can now be used to test the display and behavior of the node style without having to attach it to a live element elsewhere in the hierarchy tree. For information, see Testing the Node Style Using Preview Elements
in the Operations Center 5.0 Custom Drawing and Layout Guide.
The following improvements have been made to the Operations Center Dashboard which are also applicable for the AppManager Operations Portal:
Portlet configurations (Preferences, general alarm configurations, custom menus) have been reconfigured for increased usability and comprehension. All options remain but most labels have been changed. Some options have been reordered in the page.
The Navigation portlet now supports push technology.
The Performance portlet configuration provides a preview for matching profile expressions when selecting by regular expression.
The Performance portlet now provides the ability to view data point details on NetIQ AppManager elements in Performance portlet.
The Layout portlet now implements and renders NetIQ AppManager service map shapes including rectangles, rounded rectangles, comment text and link properties (label, color and line style) that were not previously supported.
