ERAC - main window

4

 

The current communication status between ERAC and ERAS is displayed in the status bar (1). All necessary data from ERAS is refreshed regularly (Default is every minute. See Tools > Console Options…). The refresh progress can also be seen in the status bar.

 

NOTE: Press F5 to refresh displayed data.

 

Information is divided into several tabs in order of importance (2). In most cases data can be sorted in ascending or in descending order by clicking on an attribute (5), while a drag-and-drop operation can be used for reorganization. If multiple data rows are to be processed, you can limit them by using the Items to show drop-down menu and the browse page by page buttons. Select the View mode to display attributes according to your need (for further details, see chapter Information filtering).

 

The Server section (4) is important if you replicate ERA Servers. This section displays summary information about the Console to which ERAS is connected, as well as information about child or ”lower” ERA Servers. The Servers drop-down menu in section 4 will influence the scope of information displayed in section 5.
