Background Sessions

Document Central includes processes that run in background sessions. This allows processes to run in the background while you can still navigate through Document Central and monitor them more easily. For processes like Document Entry Synchronization, a monitoring feature is available that shows the maximum number of concurrent sessions started from the first session. In addition, a log is available that shows when a session was started or stopped and why.

Showing the Status of the Current Sessions

To show the status of the current sessions, do the following:

  1. Navigate to the Page from where the Session was Started and where the Session id is Displayed
  2. Click on the field where the Session Id is Displayed.

Info

A window will open that shows information about the session, such as the current Session ID, whether the session is currently active, the duration of the session, when the session was started, when the next session will be started, the total concurrent sessions that were started from the first session, and the total session duration. Note that if a session was stopped, the concurrent count will be reset, because the count is only calculated from the first session if no interruptions occur.

Showing the Session Log

The Session Log provides an overview of when a session was started or stopped.

To show the Session Log, do the following:

  1. Navigate to the Page from where the Session was Started and where the Session id is Displayed
  2. Use the action Show Session Log when standing on a record

Info

If the actions are separated into a group, the action is usually found in the Troubleshooting group.
