How to Use Super

Welcome to Super!

Use F1 key for help anywhere in the program. F1 shows context sensitive help about the GUI object that currently has focus. If none of them gets focus, try to click on a focusable GUI component.

1. Set preferred layout

Many panels are inherited from the Table Panel. You can re-arrange the layout. You have choices to save the new layout or not. If it is saved, the new layout will automatically take effect the next time the panel is open.

Note: on some of panels, the text on Close button may be different. The rule of thumb is: a button, which is on the main menu bar, which closes the panel, will save new layout. The cancel button on the top-right corner will not save layout information.

2. System clipboard

System clipboard is available for both Unix and Windows:

Known issues: On Unix, the traditional way (highlight - copy; middle mouse button - paste) may or may not always work.

3. Mail Server

Mail server is the email server used by some Super components directly send email to end-user. For example, SuperScheduler and SuperWatchdog use this mail server for running scheduled email job.

Click on System  > Mail Server, the Mail Server Panel appears and fill in the text fields to set your mail server. See Mail Server Panel for more information.

 

Note: The Alarm facility of SuperLogging sends alert and alarm email in distributing environment using a mail server on the J2EE server side. That is different from the Mail Server here. For Alarm facility of SuperLogging,  please see Alert and Alarm Email for detailed information.

4. Show Output

Click on the System  > Show output, the Output Panel appears, which collects all the information that would be on regular STDOUT and STDERR. 

Usually, you do not need to read them. But sometimes they give some clues about what has happened to the system. If errors do happen, our technical supporter will ask you to send a copy of this file. 

5. Properties 

Click on the System > Properties, the Properties Panel appears. It shows the system's property values.
