New: Creates a new Radar Kaleidoscope Panel. It pops up a Name Radar Panel for you to specify the name for the new Radar Kaleidoscope Panel before the Radar Kaleidoscope Panel is open.
Open: Opens a new Radar Kaleidoscope Panel. and restore data from previously saved *.radar file. First it will pop up a Name Radar Panel for you to specify the name for a Radar Kaleidoscope Panel, then it will restore a *.radar file.
Database: Displays the Direct Database Connection Panel. Environment database usually is your main business database, so it will be easy to include changes of your environment variables with business data in one database transaction. As an example, we borrow the log database as our environment database for demonstration purposes.
GlobalDouble: Displays the GlobalDouble List Panel.
GlobalHashtable: Displays the GlobalHashtable List Panel.
GlobalLong: Displays the GlobalLong List Panel.
GlobalObject: Displays the GlobalObject List Panel.
GlobalProperties: Displays the GlobalProperties List Panel.
Run Example: Runs the Portfolio example. Go through the Environment tour for more information.
Prerequisite:
Server side library must be installed
Default log database is running with default database parameters.
About: Displays the version number and license information.
This panel allows you to specify user defined Radar Panel.
Type: Lists all available types from GlobalEnvironment. You must choose one of them.
Key: The key of the chosen type.
Browse: Displays a selected radar item panel (GlobalDouble Select Panel, GlobalHashtable Select Panel, GlobalLong Select Panel GlobalObject Select Panel and GlobalProperties Select Panel) for selecting keys.
Direct Database Connection Panel
Database Panel allows you to specify information of the database which stores GlobalEnvironment. Super connects to the database directly.
Note: If you change it to different database, you need to put the new driver file on the CLASSPATH when you start Super. See Environment Variables for details.
Driver: The database driver.
URL: The database URL.
User: The database user name.
Password: The database password.
Query timeout: The SQL query time value, in seconds.
Remember user name and password: Check this if you want the User and Password be saved. This is to remember user and password for this panel only. Other panels provide similar facilities. Note: User and Password are saved as plain text. If you have security concerns, do not save your password. See Security guideline for logins of SuperArch for detailed information.
Ok: Connects to the environment database and saves parameters. In most cases, the environment database is part of your main database. It may or may not be a separated, independent database. If the new connection is successful, it takes effect immediately. If the new connection fails, it will not affect the current connection.
Cancel: Closes this panel without doing anything.
GlobalDouble List Panel, GlobalHashtable List Panel, GlobalLong List Panel, GlobalObject List Panel and GlobalProperties List Panel
These list panels are similar. They show key-value pair labeled as name-value pair. toString( ) method is used to show them.
Add: Adds a new entry. This button is not available for GlobalObject and GlobalHashtable.
Edit: Edits the highlighted entry. This button is not available for GlobalObject and GlobalHashtable.
Delete: Deletes the highlighted entry.
Close: Closes this panel.
See the Table Panel for information about customizing this panel.
GlobalDouble Panel, GlobalHashtable Panel, GlobalLong Panel, GlobalObject Panel and GlobalProperties Panel
These panels are used for editing GlobalDouble, GlobalLong and GlobalProperties.
When these panels are used for editing, the name fields are disabled. If you
want to change the name of the entry, you must delete the old one and add a new
one.
Name: The name of the item.
Value: The value of the item. For Object, toString() is used to show the value.
GlobalDouble Select Panel, GlobalHashtable Select Panel, GlobalLong Select Panel, GlobalObject Select Panel and GlobalProperties Select Panel
This panel lists all available name-value (key-value) pairs for you to choose.
Select: Makes the highlighted item as your selection and closes this panel.
Cancel: Cancels your change and closes this panel.
Name: The name of your new Radar
Panel. You can specify any name which is meaningful for you.
This panel shows a graphic chart for super environment items.
Information-tip is available when you move your mouse to a data area and stay there for a second.
Non-number items will not show.
Print: Prints this chart on printer.
This Panel allows you to specify configuration attributes.
Pace: Pace is an interval between two operations. The unit is one second. The pace should be greater than 0 and be long enough for SuperEnvironment to get data within that interval, otherwise, you will get time-out error.
Note: the specified value is a suggested one. The Operating System
and Java Virtual Machine may delay a little bit when they are busy.
Radar Kaleidoscope Panel consists of:
The Radar Panel is the main panel for Environment. It is hosted by the Radar Kaleidoscope Panel. The monitored items are environment items which are from the family of GlobalEnvironment.
There are a few buttons on the button bar, which is on the top of this panel:

All the values will be updated periodically, the interval is specified
by Pace.
Errors may occur:
1. Time-out error: See Pace for more information.
2. Exception message on value column of the table: An exception was thrown when PeekPoke peeked that particular item.
