Purpose
Session Manager is the desktop launcher end users run. It lists the eQuate applications they're entitled to, signs them on against the published runtime, and exposes the tracing and debugging tools designers need when reproducing user issues.
Available applications
The main pane lists every application Session Manager finds in the configured run-time directory. Run Application starts the highlighted entry; Close Application shuts down whichever application currently has focus.
File menu
- Change Reg. Settings Location — point Session Manager at a different settings root (useful for multi-environment workstations).
- Lock Settings / Unlock Settings — prevent end users from editing the configuration.
- Profiles — manage per-user profiles binding applications to user routes.
- Run-Time Directory — where the published eQuate runtime lives.
- Script Directory — where action and sign-on scripts live.
Options menu
- Force Action Reloads — pick up edited action scripts without restarting.
- Enter Equals Tab / Tab on Full Field — keyboard ergonomics for data entry.
- Trace to Window / File / Window+File — capture the host conversation while reproducing an issue.
- Screen Visible — show the underlying host screen for debugging.
- Debug Logging and Transport Trace — diagnostic feeds for KMSYS support.
Profiles
A profile binds an Application to a User Route — the connection definition that determines which host the application talks to. Save and Close commits a new or edited profile; Session Manager picks it up on the next launch.
User Sign On
When an application is launched, eQuate prompts for the user id and password and runs the configured Application Sign-On Script. From that point the user sees only the eQuate forms — the host screens stay hidden unless the designer enables Screen Visible.
