The OpenInsight 10 Command Channel
One of the features within the OpenInsight 10 Management Console is the Command Channel.
The Command Channel (Chat) provides OpenInsight database administrators with the ability to:
- Check if a session is running
- Logoff a session
- Cancel a select
- Send a message to a session
- Apply a nickname to a session ID
- Reload a stored procedure
To enable the OpenInsight Command chat, see System Configuration, Configuration Records, CCHAT. You must enable Command Chat. Also please ensure the port 18889 is enabled for Command Requests in EngineServer, eServer Configuration, Command Server tab.
The Engine Server password is: REVSOFT.
In the above example, a User is selected and we are sending the message “Please log off for System Administration” expecting an OK response back from the User.
The OpenInsight 10 IDE for that user receives a message and must provide a response back to the Command Channel.
The User has provided the Command Channel with an OK response.
In the above example, the Command Channel sent the message “Is it time to go home yet?” and the User responded “Soon”. Note that the User Session has been given the Nickname Bob’s PC.
In the above example, the Command Channel has issued a Log off session command and has received a response from the User “Kill message sent”. The OpenInsight IDE has been terminated on that workstation.
