Would it be possible for Remote sessions and Local sessions to have a clearly different icon in the Tree-view of the EDBMgr?

Right now all sessions look alike. A clear difference i.e. color / image would make it less difficult to tell which session is which.

Continuing on the same lines, additions in the EDBMgr Treeview:

* Any possibility of an indication of whether a JOB is "live" or not (i.e. scheduled to be running in the current timeframe)

* It would also be brilliant for the icon of the individual Database to vary if there were people logged on using it (i.e. current live sessions by users outside of the EDBMgr)

* change of icon if the database was PUBLISHED or not.

I realise this adds a bit to the visual complexity, but it gives a nicer snapshot of what's going on.

I'll see what I can do.

Just a couple of notes:

<<* It would also be brilliant for the icon of the individual Database to

users outside of the EDBMgr) >>

This one is a bit tough, since it would require C/S and require that the
manager constantly query the sessions on the EDB Server, which is something
that I try to avoid due to the fact that it causes session locks that can
interfere with how fast sessions can execute requests on the server.

This would have to be at the table level - even though the syntax is PUBLISH
DATABASE, there really isn't any concept of a published database, just
published tables.

Thanks,

A different icon for a published table v a non-published would be useful. A different icon for the DB when any of its tables were published would be useful. Smile
