Use the Rational® DOORS® database server administration tool on Windows machines to check which users are connected to database servers on either Windows or UNIX. The Rational DOORS client only makes a connection to the server when it needs to read data from disk or write data to disk. It closes the connection as soon as the data transfer is completed.
What to do next
If there are unwanted user connections or file locks, you can remove them.
On Windows machines, you can use the Database Server Administration tool. To disconnect a user connection, select it and click Disconnect User. To unlock a file, select it and click Unlock File.
On UNIX machines, you must use the command line.
Replace:
- port with the port that the database server is using.
- DOORSserver with the name of the computer the database server is running on.
- password with the password for the database server. If the database server does not have a password, omit the -password switch.
- channel_identifier with the channel identifier that is displayed by the -locklist switch.
Note: Only disconnect users and unlock files that are no longer being accessed. Disconnecting users who are currently connected, or unlocking files that are currently being accessed could corrupt your database.
