System

The Administration - System screen provides an overview of current:

• user sessions
• document locks

Sessions

The Sessions tab displays current user sessions.

Each row in the table displays:

• the user login name
• the user name
• the host they are logged in from

NOTE: this may be the address of a firewall or proxy, rather than the user's actual address.

• when they logged in
• when they last accessed the session

Sessions can be filtered by login name, user name or host. You can see above that user IL is logged in on 3 separate workstations.

The 'Re-load Log4j configuration' button allows you edit the log4j.properties file in <TOMCAT-HOME>\webapps\openvpms\WEB-INF\classes and then apply the changes without having to restart Tomcat. See also Troubleshooting.

Document Locks

The Document Locks tab displays the users that have locks on documents to prevent other users from overwriting their changes. These locks are created by OpenOffice when External Edit is used to edit a document.

Each row in the table displays:

• the user login name
• the user name
• the name of the locked document
• the time when the lock expires - note that this time will normally be a couple of minutes in the future. When this time is reached the system checks that the document is still being edited, and if so renews the lock.

Locks can be filtered by login name, user name or host.

The Delete button can be used to delete a lock that needs to be cleared. Normally the lock will be removed when the document has finished being edited.
