WDADMINEXE: Remote application control
The WINDEV Application Control Center allows the manager of an application on the network to: These settings are defined in the "Control" tab of WDADMINEXE. Important: If remote control options are modified directly in the "WDADMINEXE" administration program, these options will be reset at each setup with the options specified when the setup program was created. The "Control" tab of WDADMINEXE is used to manage the application status and the messages displayed according to this status:
 - Normal operation: application user logout management will be automatic. For more details, see Managing the automatic disconnection.
- Connection forbidden: users will not be able to connect to the application. When running the application, the message associated with the forbidden connection will be displayed during the specified "display duration of messages".
The users who are already connected will be able to use the application as usual. - Warning of impending shutdown: the warning message associated will be displayed on user workstations currently connected to the application. This message will be displayed:
- during the specified "display duration of messages".
- whenever the application checks its status by connecting to the server. This check is performed at regular time intervals (defined in "Status checked every").
If users try to connect to the application, the message associated with the forbidden connection will be displayed.
- Forced stop: the associated forced stop message will be displayed on user workstations currently connected to the application.. This message will be displayed:
- during the specified "display duration of messages".
- as soon as the application checks its status by connecting to the server. This check is performed at regular time intervals (defined in "Status checked every").
Once this message is displayed, the users will be automatically disconnected and they will not be able to reconnect.
If users try to connect to the application, the message associated with the forbidden connection will be displayed.
The control duration options are as follows: - report check time: In a networked application, the user application checks interval at regular intervals:
- its status according to the server application (reference application).
- if an update is available (after updating the reference application).
- Message display duration: The various WDADMINEXE messages (connection forbidden, warning message of imminent shutdown and forced shutdown) are displayed for a specified duration.. The window displaying this message can be closed by the users before the end of the specified duration.
Note: When installing an application update, settings modified in WDADMINEXE are retained.. To restore the values specified when configuring the setup, click "Restore default values". Managing the disconnection of users automatically In order for the disconnection of users to be automatically performed, all you have to do is select "Standard operating mode". If this option is selected, during the mandatory update of the application on the server, the following operations are automatically performed: - The users currently connected to the application are listed.
- As soon as the user application checks its status by connecting to the server, the message indicating an imminent shutdown will be displayed on the user computers. This message will be displayed during the specified display duration.
- Once all the users have received the message indicating an imminent shutdown, the application update on the server switches to "Forced stop" during two minutes.
- During these two minutes, the shutdown message is displayed on the user computers.
- After these two minutes, the users will be automatically disconnected and they will be able to reconnect at the end of the application update on the server.
- Once the application was updated on the server, the users who reconnect to the application will have to update their user application.
If this option is selected, during the optional update of the application on the server, the following operations are automatically performed: - The update of the application on the server is performed as usual.
- The users currently connected to the application will not be disconnected.
- Once the application was updated on the server, the users who reconnect to the application will have to choose between installing the update or starting the application directly.
The "Control" tab of WDADMINEXE allows you to manage how the application checks for updates:
By default, the availability of an update on the server is checked whenever the application is started. This check frequency can be configured. It can be performed: - Whenever the application is started.
- Every X days.
Whenever it is started, an application installed via a network setup checks whether an update is available on the reference server. - If a more recent version is available on the server, the application update is proposed to the end user.
- If there is no network connection when opening the application, a warning message is displayed by default.
This message can be useless for an application used on a mobile device, connected intermittently. In this case, simply select the "Silent check: Do not inform user" option.
