Completing a Session
When all of the desired tasks of a session have been performed, the current session should be properly completed. This process releases the session, which also ensures that all licenses being consumed by the session are freed up and made available for additional sessions. The process of completing a session differs depending on whether an online or offline session is being used.
Completing an Online Session
To complete an online session, it is necessary to either log out or exit the Remote Client application. Because the session is online, performing either of these actions will immediately release the session in use.
- Click File > Log Out.
- Click File > Exit.
button in the upper right corner of the screen on a Windows Mobile device will not release the session. Rather, the application will still be running in a minimized state.Completing an Offline Session
Due to the nature of offline sessions, there are a few more scenarios that may be encountered. As such, the process of completing an offline session is slightly more involved. It is important to remember that, during an offline session, all of the pending modifications are stored on the Remote Client device, not on the DataSplice Server. To successfully complete the session, any modifications must be committed to the DataSplice Server and the session must be released properly.
- Ensure that a valid network connection is active, with visibility of the DataSplice Server.
- Click File > Synchronize with Server.
- All pending record modifications will be committed to the DataSplice Server. In addition, the system will be queried for any new or updated records to cache offline on the Remote Client device.
- During the synchronization process, a progress dialog box will be displayed.
- Click OK to close the dialog box when the offline data has finished loading on the device.
- Click File > Work Offline to disconnect from the DataSplice Server and begin using the stored offline data.
- Ensure that a valid network connection is active, with visibility of the DataSplice Server.
- Click File > Log Out.
- All pending record modifications will be committed to the DataSplice Server.
- Once complete, the user will be logged out and the session will be released, returning the Remote Client application to the login screen.
