OPEN ADMINISTRATION WINDOW

version 11.2

OPEN ADMINISTRATION WINDOW

The OPEN ADMINISTRATION WINDOW command displays the server administration window on the remote 4D client machine that executes it. The 4D Server administration window can be used to view the current parameters and to carry out various maintenance operations (see the 4D Server Reference Guide). Beginning with version 11 of 4D Server, this window can be displayed from a client machine:

This command must be called in the context of a 4D application connected to a 4D Server. It does nothing if:

• it is called in a 4D application in local mode or executed as a stored procedure on the server,

• it is executed by a user other than the Designer or the Administrator (in this case, the error -9991 is generated, see the Database Engine Errors section).

Here is the code for an administration button:

   If (Application type=4D local mode)
      OPEN SECURITY CENTER
         ` ...
   End if
   If (Application type=4D remote mode)
      OPEN ADMINISTRATION WINDOW
         ` ...
   End if
   If (Application type=4D Server)
      ` ...
   End if

OPEN SECURITY CENTER.

If the command has been executed correctly, the OK system variable is set to 1. Otherwise, it is set to 0.
