We have a potential client that has expressed a urgent need for Navision to provide a inactivity timer. More less, If the user stops using Navision it will disconnect or close Navision entirely.

    Hallo

    Look in Topic "Kill session" in this forum, there you have the answer to your question

    The Kill Session topic discusses how to kill a session that remains after the PC has crashed or is no longer active.

    I think this question is more along the lines of killing the session when, for example, the user leaves for the weekend with Navision running, displaying an arbitrary form.

    I don't believe there is any way to solve this one. Navision does not provide anything for session management, unfortunately.

    JP, you are right on the money... The user wants to set the "inactivity timer" to, for example 15 min. So when the user leaves for lunch, the timer closes Navision, but leaves them connected to the network.

    It can be done correctly using macro programs. It can look like:
    1.We checking Sessions table for database R/W counters. If there no changes that meens that user not using NF data requests. Using this we can determinate activity of user.
    2. Closing NF. There nicely can be done only using macro program.
    Or couse NF fatal error that closing NF not issuing any message. Very nice closing CFront on error's, if you decide use this write to me I can send to you couple crashing codes on CF bugs (NF 1.30) <img border="0" title="" alt="" src="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif" />

    good luck

    This feature will be included in NF 2.60, which has the Windows 2000 logo 's. One of the nice features is :

    OnNow/ACPI - More Efficient Power Management

    This feature allows the client to disconnect from the server during sleep mode and connects the client again when sleep mode is terminated. This saves power and allows the user to reconnect quickly without having to sit through the whole log-in script.

    Have they just implemented something for sleep mode? Or is it a real attempt at session management?

    Does it require ACPI compliant BIOS or W2K? Or will it work on any PC?

    For it to be usable for our clients, the server has to be able to disconnect a session after period of inactivity regardless of the the client operating system, hardware, or sleep status.

    This stuff is brand new.
    Ask your local NTR for details (and post reply here if possible)
