The Administration - System screen provides an overview of current:

 

 

Document Locks

Complete

The Document Locks tab displays the users that have locks on documents to prevent other users from overwriting their changes. These locks are created by OpenOffice when External Edit is used to edit a document.

Each row in the table displays:

  • the user login name
  • the user name
  • the name of the locked document
  • the time when the lock expires - note that this time will normally be a couple of minutes in the future. When this time is reached the system checks that the document is still being edited, and if so renews the lock.

Locks can be filtered by login name, user name or host.

The Delete button can be used to delete a lock that needs to be cleared. Normally the lock will be removed when the document has finished being edited.

 

Plugins

Complete

The Plugins screen displays the status of the plugin support in OpenVPMS.

Plugin support is initially disabled. To enable it, click Configure and enter the path to the plugins directory. For a standard OpenVPMS installation, this is the plugins directory located in the OpenVPMS installation directory.

Each row in the table displays the plugin:

  • identifier
  • name
  • version
  • status

The buttons are as follows:

Start Start the selected plugin.
Stop Stop the selected plugin.
Install Plugin

Install a plugin.
This must be is a .jar file that follows OSGi packaging conventions.
NOTE: Only install plugins from sources that you trust, as they have full access to your OpenVPMS data.
Refresh Refresh the display.
Configure Configure plugin support.

 

Updating Plugins

There is currently no user interface support to directly update plugins.

To update a plugin:

  1. remove the existing version from the plugins/deploy/ directory
    This must be done while OpenVPMS is running, and plugins are active.
    Verify that the original plugin has been uninstalled, by clicking Refresh
  2. install the new version using Install Plugin

Failure to correctly remove the existing version of the plugin may result in multiple versions being installed, with unpredictable results.

Sessions

Complete

The Sessions tab displays current user sessions.

 

Each row in the table displays:

  • the user login name
  • the user name
  • the host they are logged in from

NOTE: this may be the address of a firewall or proxy, rather than the user's actual address.

  • when they logged in
  • when they last accessed the session

Sessions can be filtered by login name, user name or host. You can see above that user IL is logged in on 3 separate workstations.

The 'Re-load Log4j configuration' button allows you edit the log4j.properties file in <TOMCAT-HOME>\webapps\openvpms\WEB-INF\classes and then apply the changes without having to restart Tomcat. See also Troubleshooting.
