In general, Operations Center provides two main sources of information to help you configure and use Operations Center products:
Online help: The help is part of each product and available from multiple locations depending upon the product; look for help in the upper right of a window or dialog box as a drop-down menu option, a help button, or a question mark symbol (?).
Guides: Available as PDF files on the installation CD, as well as both PDF and HTML on the documentation Web site, the guides provide an overview of how to solve a problem, complete a task, or use a specific Operations Center product.
For the most recent version of the Configuration Management System (CMS) Guide, visit the Operations Center 5.0 documentation Web site.
In Novell documentation, a greater-than symbol (>) is used to separate actions within a step and items in a cross-reference path. The > symbol is also used to connect consecutive links in an element tree structure where you can either click a plus symbol (+) or double-click the elements to expand them.
A trademark symbol (®, ™, etc.) denotes a Novell trademark. An asterisk (*) denotes a third-party trademark.
When a single pathname can be written with a backslash for some platforms or a forward slash for other platforms, the pathname is presented with a forward slash to preserve case considerations in the UNIX* or Linux* operating systems.
