View changes dynamically

Attribute values shown in the details pane are static. You must select an attribute in the details pane to update the display.

You may have a configuration in which the Galaxy Repository node was upgraded, but other nodes were not upgraded. If you use ObjectViewer on the upgraded node to view information for attributes from a non-upgraded node, the time stamps should not be considered as valid source times. In this case, the time stamps reflect the time of the local node (the one running ObjectViewer) for the attributes running on the non-upgraded node.

Attribute values shown in the watch window are updated immediately when the attribute’s value changes.

For example, objects have two common attributes, ScanStateCmd and ScanState. ScanStateCmd controls the scan state of the object (OnScan or OffScan). ScanState shows the last known scan state of the object.

If you place the ScanState attribute in a watch window and change the ScanStateCmd attribute in the details pane, the ScanState attribute is updated immediately. Instead, if you place the ScanStateCmd attribute in a watch window, leave the ScanState attribute in the details pane, and then change the value of ScanStateCmd, the ScanState attribute is not updated until you select it in the details pane.
