Users


This screen displays a list of all the users that are currently logged in to one of your Java applications deployed through the JDesignerPro system. Typically the JDesignerPro client application does not keep an open connection to the server. Therefore the listed users are only actually connected to the server if their status is Active or Idle.

Controlling Users

Sending a message to a user

To send a message to a user click once on the user's row. A popup menu will be displayed. Choose Send message to... A dialog box will then be displayed allowing you to enter a message to be sent to the user. You may then either send the message or send it and request a reply. Note that in order to receive messages a user who has MS IE 4.0 as their browser must configure the security settings of the browser.

Adjusting the screen refresh interval

To adjust how often the user list is refreshed click on a user and choose Refresh Every from the popup menu. Then select the desired interval. The users screen will then automatically refresh at the new interval. The screen will only refresh if it is visible. If another tab in the menu system is selected, refreshing will not occur until the Server Manager is reselected and the Users tab is clicked. The screen will automatically refresh anytime the Users tab is clicked. Note that refreshing the screen continuously can cause an unnecessary load on the server. The default refresh rate is 60 seconds.

Controlling Requests

A Request is a line below the user's listing that shows if there is any activity at this moment that the user's client application is making to the server or database. You have the ability to dynamically manage such requests in the event of a failure or other reason for holding or killing an active request.

Holding and releasing a request

To hold a request that is currently running click once on it. A popup menu will be displayed. Choose Hold from the menu. The request is now held. To release the request click on it and choose Release from the popup menu. It is now once again active.

Killing a request

To kill a request that is currently active or held click once on it. A popup menu will be displayed. Choose Kill from the menu. The request will be killed. There is no confirmation dialog when killing requests.

Adjusting the request priority

To adjust the request priority click once on the request. A popup menu will be displayed. Choose Set Priority and choose the desired priority. The highest priority is 10 and 1 is the lowest. That is, requests running at priority 10 will receive more system resources than those running at a lower priority. This system is based on the Java threading convention where 10 is highest priority.

Displaying details of a request

To display a detailed description of a request click once on the request. A popup menu will be displayed. Choose Display Details from the menu. The detail for the request will be display in the lower half of the screen. To hide the request details press the Hide Details button at the bottom of the screen.
