ZMC Online Control page.
Note Online service management functions are available only
if the service is in the active state.
To change the service state use Start and Stop buttons. If you
are stopping the service and there are active users sessions, you will be warned
before the action begins. In this case, it is a good idea to send online message
to all active sessions (see Sending Online Messages).
To
browse users sessions use the Online users list to select the user. Associated
(with the user) sessions appears in the User sessions list. Caption of
a session is the current user process window caption. The Started field
shows the session start time. Currently connected sessions have a blue icon.
Pending sessions (available for reconnection) have a gray icon. To see detailed
session information use Sess. Info button or double-click on the item
in the User sessions list.
To update users and sessions information use the Refresh button.
To
send a message to a currently connected user or session, use the Send Message
button. In the Send online message dialog, select an user and session
of a specified user. You can send a message to the all user sessions using the
"All users consoles" item in the Console list. Finally, to
send a message to all active sessions select the "All users" item
in the User list and the "All users consoles" item in the Console
list.
Note Online messages are not buffered i.e. the new message replaces the old one on users consoles.
To disconnect a session use Disconnect button. If session time-out is defined, the user process will be switched in the pending state (available for reconnection), otherwise disconnection will lead immediate user process termination. To disconnect all sessions of an user, click on the user icon in the Online users list and press Disconnect.
To terminate a user session use the Terminate button. Session termination is used to unconditionally cause a user process to exit. This function provides a clean process shutdown. This includes calling the entry-point function of all attached dynamic-link libraries (DLLs) with a value indicating that the process is detaching from the DLL. Terminating a session does not cause child processes to be terminated.
