Active Connections

This screen allows you to view Users who are currently signed onto Ostendo or are connected to the Ostendo database.  The number of current Users signed on is displayed at the top of the screen and the individual Users are listed below.  If you have Administrator rights in Ostendo you may also disconnect any currently signed-on User

 


 

 

  1. Screen Message "There are currently 'X' active user connections(API License Active): This indicates the number of local connections to the database. the "API License Active" message indicates there is at least one API Security record existing for this database, therefore one local license is being allocated for this purpose.


  1. User Name: Display only field showing the Name of the User. NB: A blank User Name against a record here indicates the user has connected to the database but has not logged in yet. (ie: they would be seeing the Ostendo Login screen only)

 

  1. Connection ID: The current connection ID allocated by Ostendo.  If this is a negative number then this denotes that it is an external User

 

  1. Computer Name: The Name of the computer where the User is currently signed on. Sometimes the Computer Name may be blank due to various reasons. For example this is the case when a mobile device (Freeway app) is connecting to the database via the ostendo API Service.

  1. App Path : The Application Path shows the application used to connect to the database.
