Active User Connections

The Connections page in the Administration perspective contains an overview table of the active user connections for the client that you are logged onto. User connections are also referred to as "communication processes."

When you are logged into Client 0000, you see all active users that are logged in to your system.

On the Connections page of User Management, you see all active user connections on the system that you logged into. For each connections you see information about the connections, such as the User Name, the Host, its Remote Identifier (when applicable) and the Communication Process identifier.

The users that you see are the ones that are stored in the Automation Engine as USER objects for the client that you logged into.

In the Connections view you can see the active users, who are logged into the client that your are also logged into. You can disconnect an active user, by selecting the user and clicking the related button on the toolbar or over the context menu. You have to do this sometimes when you need to remove all users before certain maintenance procedures. Deactivated user get a message telling them they were forced off by the administrator.

You can also use the search feature to find connections that you are looking for.

You can add or remove data columns on the Connections list. To do this:

Click the down arrow at the far right of the column headers.
A panel appears with a list of all columns that you can include on the table. The columns that are already selected are marked with a dot to their left.
Click the column header names to select and deselect columns until you have the column headers that you want.

Each time you select or deselect a column, the column selection panel disappears and the column is added to or removed from the table.

Note the following:

If a header name is disabled (grayed out), it is a required column and you cannot remove it.
You cannot change the order of the columns.
The changes you make are not saved when you log off . Each time you log on, you start with the default column selection.

Select a connection by right-clicking anywhere in its row, and a context menu (as described below) appears with buttons for actions that you can take on the user definition.
