xSession.terminate Method
Terminates the session ID that the object was instantiated with.
Syntax
public boolean terminate([date loginDate, TimeOfDay loginTime])
Run On
Called
Parameters
- loginDate
Type: date
The date that the user of the session logged on; optional.
- loginTime
Type: timeOfDay
The time that the user of the session logged on; optional.
Return Value
Type: boolean
false if the user is not authorized to perform this function; otherwise, true.
Remarks
This API has a built-in authorization check that is invoked at run time. An exception is thrown if calls to the terminate method are made by users who do not have access to the development security key (SysDevelopment).
The optional parameters allow you to put a timestamp on the session to ensure that it is the session you intend to terminate. The same session ID could be used at two different times.
The terminate method is used in the Online users form to allow administrators to terminate sessions. An administrator might decide to terminate a session because it has stopped responding, is consuming a lot of resources, or its license needs to be freed for another user.
Examples
The following example confirms whether the user has permission to terminate the session. If so, the session is terminated.
server static public void Main(Args _args)
{
Session session;
session = new Session();
if (session)
{
session.terminate();
}
}
