Using Advanced Mode
If you log on to Enterprise Manager using an account that has access to all user privileges, you can select a Turn Advanced Mode On button. Selecting this button allows Enterprise Manager to operate in an Advanced Mode.
Selecting the Turn Advanced Mode On button causes the following to occur:
-
Displays a More Actions, Refresh Cache button in the user interface. This button displays in the Settings tab when you select a Server node in the Installations tree, but displays only to users logged in using an account that has access to all user privileges.
The Refresh Cache button allows you to overwrite manually all the configuration settings currently existing on a managed server Server that is managed by the Enterprise Manager application.. The settings are overwritten with the configuration settings that are specified for that server in Enterprise Manager.
Typically configuration changes are automatically distributed to managed servers using the process described in Handling of Configuration Changes by the Enterprise Manager.
The Refresh Cache option bypasses the usual configuration distribution process and overwrites all existing configuration settings on the server with those settings currently specified in Enterprise Manager. This feature is used in troubleshooting scenarios for these reasons:
-
To send new configuration changes to a managed server instantly
-
To ensure that the managed server has the settings specified for it in Enterprise Manager. This capability is useful in troubleshooting scenarios where the configuration settings on the managed server have become corrupted for any reason.

-
Displays a More Actions, Distribute button in the user interface. This button displays in the Settings tab when you select the Enterprise node in the Installations tree, but displays only to users logged in using an account that has access to all user privileges.
Selecting the Distribute button causes all configuration messages that are in the queued or pending state to be sent on the network to the managed servers. After selecting the Distribute button, it takes approximately one to two minutes to distribute all configuration messages to the servers.
Under typical conditions, Enterprise Manager automatically distributes configuration messages (as discussed in Handling of Configuration Changes by the Enterprise Manager).
In troubleshooting scenarios, you can use the Distribute button to send immediately all queued or pending configuration changes from Enterprise Manager to the managed servers.
-
Displays other advanced settings in several server role Entity that contains a logical, predefined set of components (system software or certified third-party software) deployed in the Data Center and Site Zones that provide specific functionality for the system. configuration screens and other configuration screens. As with the settings discussed above, these advance settings are used only in troubleshooting scenarios or special configurations. You must be logged in using an account that has access to all user privileges to configure any Advanced Mode settings.
Turning off Advanced Mode hides the More Actions, Refresh Cache button, the More Actions, Distribute button, and any other Advanced Mode settings in the user interface.
