Session Window Toolbar Buttons

Start/Stop Session Toolbar Button

Click the Start/Stop Session toolbar button to start and stop your Host Session. To start

or stop your Host Session, click the button with the Tandem logo on it.

Data Window Opens or gives focus to a Browse window.

Time Sync Displays the Time Sync window, which lets you determine the time

difference between your workstation and your NonStop server, and lets you

synchronize the date and time between them to within one second of each

other.

You can either synchronize your workstation to your NonStop server

session, or vice versa if you have super group access:

1. Select Set PC time from HOST time (to synchronize your workstation

to your NonStop server) or Set HOST time from PC time (to

synchronize your NonStop server to your workstation).

2. To view the time difference between your workstation and the server,

click Check Times. ASAP displays the date and time of the host and

the PC in real time.

3. Click the down-arrow button to display the log window. Click the up-

arrow button to hide the log window.

4. To eliminate a time difference between the PC and Host, check the Set

Time check box.

The Check Times button changes to SET PC TIME or SET HOST

TIME.

5. To initiate the time sync operation, click that button.

6. To confirm the new time difference between the PC and Host, uncheck

the Set Time button, then click the Check Times button.

7. To temporarily suspend normal ASAP data collection between the

ASAP client and server, check the Suspend I/O check box. This is

useful when data collection causes excessive queuing that could

interfere with time synchronization (if you see messages "Round Trip

too long…", select it).

8. To close the Time Sync window, select the Close button. When you

close the Time Sync window, ASAP sampling automatically resumes if

the Suspend I/O check box is checked.

Options Opens the ASAP Properties window, where you can customize your

environment by specifying which entities and performance attributes the

Browse and Graph windows display.
