GOAL:
How to limit the number of session that a user can start
GOAL:
What is and how to use the -wss startup parameter
GOAL:
How to limit the number of client connections to a DB on a PC.
FACT(s) (Environment):
Windows
Progress 9.x
OpenEdge 10.x
FIX:
Use the Windows Single Session (-wss) parameter to limit a user to run only one Progress client session at a time.
This parameter applies only to a Windows GUI client.
If an existing Progress session is running on the machine when -wss is specified, the new session terminates and the windows of the existing session are brought forward to alert the user.
In order to avoid the unnecessary processing of other parameters, use the -wss parameter first on the command line.
If more than one Progress application is installed on your machine, do not use the -wss parameter else it prevents you from running two or more applications at the same time.
NOTE: The -wss parameter is not recognized on Progress versions prior to Version 9.0.
