Log user login/logout

Description

You can log user login and logout by including a string object called LogUserLogin in the configuration. From IGSS32 v3 this object is automatically included in every new IGSS configuration you create. However, if you convert a configuration from an earlier version, the object must be manually created as follows.

The string length must be 36 characters or more to include all the information.

The string will be formatted as a fixed width, comma-separated string. Click each element for details.

a, bbbbb, cccccccccccccccc, dddddddd

If the length is less than 36 characters, the string will be truncated. For example, a length of 8 characters will only include login/logout and user ID.

Procedure

Before you begin, you must define the appropriate user groups and user names in the User Administration program.

Select Objects ® New Unreferenced. The Object Browser dialog box appears.
We do not need a graphical display for this object.
In the Type group, select String and type the name LogUserLogin exactly as shown and click OK.

IGSS is case-sensitive.

On the String Object tab, specify the required string length (see description above).
On the Data Management Definitions tab, check the Out box in the Logging group. Otherwise, the string will not be logged.
On the Edit Mapping tab, select the Text atom and select local I/O mode.
Click OK to save the object
Install the configuration.
Start the configuration and log in and log out using different user names.
Check that the string is logged by opening the LOG table using the ODBC interface.
