Using commands from a pop-up menu that appears when you move the mouse over a device node
or link
An EPICenter user with read-only access to this feature can view the EAPS map, and can view status
information about the domains, devices, and links through the tables at the top of the main view. A
read-only user cannot move elements around on the map (other than using the Fit command or Zoom
slider or commands to position them within the viewable portion of the window), and cannot refresh
EAPS status with a Synchronize operation. A read-only user can run the Verify EAPS command, can
select a domain to view in Focus mode. They can also run reports.
Users with Administrator or Manager roles, or other roles with write access to this feature, can
reorganize and layout the topology map, and can edit domain names and descriptions. These users can
also explicitly refresh the information in the database related to the EAPS status, using the Synchronize
command.
