Deviations from Former GUI

Oracle has determined that the new GUI has deviations in the way it presents itself that the user may have become familiar with via former software versions. Some users familiar with the former GUI may find these deviations to be inconsistent with what they consider normal, expected behavior.

1. Refresh, Settings, Export and Show Information buttons are changed to icons and moved from the Home page widget display to the Maximized widget display.
2. The Home Page's Refresh, Add Widget and Reset controls now apply to the Home page only. You now refresh all widgets from Home page, and must maximize individual widgets to refresh them individually.
3. Scrolling has been introduced for tables to account for large numbers of records. Each scroll click now results in moving to the next or previous 100 records.
4. Widgets on the Home page now auto-arrange when you add and delete them.
5. All device Configuration is now accessible from the Configuration tab. The Preferences setting, now available from the User's drop-down menu, allows you to list configuration elements hierarchically or alphabetically.
6. Monitoring and Trace controls are now available from a single tab named "Monitoring and Trace".
7. Widgets are now available from a single tab named "Widgets".
8. File Management controls are now available from the System tab.
9. The Force HA Switchover, Reboot and Support information access controls are now provided as tabs at the top right corner of the System tab dialog.
10. The Set Boot Parameters dialog is now available from the System tab.
11. The Wizards and Commands categories of functions have been moved to the System tab. The word "Wizard" is no longer used. Those function collections are now called "System Operations".
12. All labels, headings, and text-based names are now displayed using an Initial Capital letter format.
13. Tool tips are moved from the text labeling configuration fields to the fields themselves.
14. The GUI displays a control (cog wheel icon) when you mouse over rows. Click this control to display a menu with applicable commands.
15. The verify-config command is available at multiple locations in the GUI, which now includes a button at the top of the Configuration tab towards the right side.
16. Fields that accept numeric values now include increment/decrement buttons to enhance your ability to set those fields.
17. Widget tiles on the home page no longer have tile-specific Collapse controls. Tile-specific widget controls now include only Refresh, Settings, Export, Remove, Maximize, Information and Move.
18. The GUI no longer includes any time/date selection controls. Instead, a text field is now available to specify time searches in the Monitor and Trace tools. A tool tip also provided the valid input format for those fields.
