NB: Please note that this section allows only viewing media-manager actions, not configuring or modifying them. For information regarding these tasks, please refer to the proper Etere Configuration Editor chapter.
 
User Interface
Each data processor (i.e., media manager action) details the action's most relevant properties, including its current Status, Action Name, currently processed File name, Source Device, Destination Device and Action Type. Moreover, actions are coloured according to their state. The possible colours are:
•Blue -: the action is either assigned or currently running.
•White -: the action is available, but it is idle.
•Orange -: the action is offline.
In the Data Mover interface, you can select to Show or Hide the performance counters from the menu bar by clicking on the Tools function bar and selecting "Show/Hide Performance Counters".  

Data Mover interface

The performance counters display the Data Mover performance factors at a glance:

Data Mover performance

The DM User Objects in performance counters refer to GUI objects used by Data Mover actions. It has a default threshold of 10,000 objects defined by Windows OS to limit the GUI objects allocation, and allocating GUI objects beyond the threshold would impact the system's performance.
During Startup, Data Mover would check the usage of GUI objects in current status; if the total GUI objects utilized by Data Mover is approximately equal to the GUI object quota defined in configuration settings, the loading of remaining data processors would be halted. The performance counters would display a warning message to alert the operators.

Note:
• To modify the GUI object quota, refer to Data Mover > Configuration > Settings > Options.
