Sessions

When you log in to the mart, this event is recorded as the start of a session. During a session, the models that you open and the locks that are applied to each catalog entry are tracked. Each session has its own Action Log, contained in erwin® Data Modeler, which logs the transaction information containing real-time changes that are made to a model. After you have logged out of the mart, the Action Log is cleared and the session is closed.

Session Manager lets you view a session and terminate your sessions. You can also assign the appropriate permission to a user to terminate a session.

To view a session, click File, Mart, Session Manager. The Session Manager dialog lists all the sessions of the current user.

You can also view and delete offline mart models that are saved in a session.

Note: Deleting the offline mart model does not delete the model from the stored location. It deletes the information about that model from erwin® Data Modeler.

To delete an offline mart model, open the Session Manager dialog, and click Offline Mart Models. The Offline Mart Model Manager dialog opens. Select the Catalog item and click Delete offline mart models. The information about the offline mart model is deleted from erwin® Data Modeler.
