Online documentation - WebsydianExpress v3.5 |
This page provides detailed information about a session. In addition to the basic session information it shows information about the user who is logged into the session (if any) - the roles currently assigned to the session, and the folders used by the session.
This information can be used by developers to investigate behavior of their business processes or by administrators who want to understand why certain menu items are shown (or not shown) for a specific session. It can also be used if an administrator or a developer wants to investigate the reason for a message in the message log.
If you want to investigate messages, the session id is present in the message information, and it is shown in the log.
If you want to investigate the session for a running instance of the application, you must show the source for a page and find the value specified for WSYD_SID (if the value contains a semi-colon - e.g. 2;3514, the session id is the part following the semi colon - in this case 3514).
It is important to note that the information shown on this page is the last registered information for the session. If you are investigating a message in the log, you must be aware that the information can have been different at the time the message was created.
