Watch/Unwatch a Session

To watch the session, use the mouse to select and execute the Watch option. When Watch is selected, a window for the watched session pops up and the user's keystroke activity is displayed in the window. For example, if the user is entering data on an input screen, you will see the input screen and each keystroke as the user types.

Select the Unwatch option when you want to stop watching the session. When Unwatch is selected, the watched session window will disappear. If you select this option and the session is not being watched, an error message is displayed.

The Clear option on the Security menu can also be used to clear all watched sessions.

One or more sessions can be watched at any time.

Snapshot

To get a "snapshot" of current session activity, select the Snapshot option.

When the Snapshot option is selected, a window pops up and the user's most current keystroke activity is displayed in the window. To exit the snapshot procedure, click on the INSA Manager window and then press [Return] --- the snapshot window disappears.

Playback

If the session is being recorded, the Playback option allows you to play back the recording in progress.

When this option is selected, a message says that the playback window is being created and you will be able to start, search or cancel the playback. (Refer to Section 9.2.2, Playing Back a Recording, for detail playback information.)

Start Recording

The Start Recording option allows you to start recording the session you are reviewing.

Stop Recording

If the session you are reviewing is currently being recorded (you will see: Recording...), you can stop the recording process by selecting the Stop Recording option.

If you select this option and the session is not being recorded, an error message is displayed.

Disconnect

The Disconnect option is used to disconnect IP sessions.

Note

ONLY IP sessions can be disconnected. If you attempt to disconnect a non-IP session, an error message is displayed.

If the session is an IP session, and you select Disconnect, you are asked to confirm this action.



                          +Sure DISCONNECT session+ 
                          |  Yes                  | 
                          |  No                   | 
                          +-----------------------+ 

  Select Yes if you are SURE you want to disconnect the IP session.
  Select No if you do NOT want to disconnect the IP session.

Displaying Incident Information

When you select Incidents, a menu of incidents is displayed if there have been alert incidents for this session. For example:

                          +--------------------+------------------+ 

Use the mouse to select the name you want to remove. The name will be removed from the list at the top of the screen. Repeat this procedure to remove any other names.

Select the accept current default menu item when you are done selecting (and removing) alert names.

Use the reset menu option to erase the current selections and start over.

The alert names you select are displayed at the top of the screen.

After you finish selecting alert names, a menu list of the recorded sessions for the specified alert names is displayed. For example, if the alert PRIV is selected, the list would show:
