To log in to a Documentum Content Server, start dqMan, enter your login credentials and then select the desired repository from the list. You can save your login credentials by selecting Save in login history and use them again in the future by clicking the History button.
dqMan can open multiple sessions to the same or different repositories. You can open a session in several ways:
Click Session menu>New Session Window, or press Ctrl+N.
Certain API commands can be executed without a connected session (such as getservermap
, getdocbrokermap
or connect
).
Whenever a session is needed but not available, the same login dialog box described in #2.1-log-in-out is displayed.
Sessions are always bound to a session window. Disconnecting a session window will terminate the session, but will not close the session window.
dqMan enables you to open as many sessions as needed, restricted only by the settings in the Client or Server configuration.
You can manage Sessions using the Session menu or the toolbar. The available functions are:
Function | What It Does |
---|---|
New Session Window | Opens a new session window with the login dialog box. For more information on logging in to dqMan, see #2.1-dqman-log-in-log-out. |
New Jobs Window | Opens a new Jobs session. For more information about dqMan Jobs, see Jobs. |
Copy | Creates a copy of the current session window and logs you in automatically using the same user credentials. |
Connect/Disconnect | Opens/terminates a session without closing the session window. The button will show Connect or Disconnect based on the whether the active session window is currently connected or not. |
Refresh Valuelists | Reloads session dependent value lists, like users, groups, or object types. |
Session Alias | Sets an alias name for a session. This name is used instead of default session name @ wherever it is possible. |
Locale | Switches current session locale to the locale selected from submenu. |
Close | Closes the current window. |
Exit | Closes dqMan. |
Click the New Session Window toolbar button
If you already have an open Session window which you would like to duplicate into a second session with the same credentials on the same repository click the Copy session toolbar button
