Session logging can be used in WMS ASP to use the WMS log viewer or 'management' screen.
This means that every step done on a hand terminal is written to WMS log tables and can be played back for Internet Explorer sessions.
From product update 402, session logging is by default disabled, to improve performance. In product 401 and earlier, session logging was enabled by default.
When enabled, WMS ASP sessions are logged when using either Internet Explorer (IE) or ERF as client, but only sessions of IE can be played back in the log viewer.
Therefore, recording of ERF sessions does not have much added value at this time.
Session logging can be enabled by editing the file 'web.config' which is located in the WMS IIS folder on the IIS server.
Open this file with a text editor like Notepad. Search for the text 'logmodule', you will find this text:
The setting is disabled because of the <!-- sign at the start of the line, and --> sign at the end of the line.
Remove these signs, after which the line looks like this:
Then, search again for the text "logmodule", since this text occurs twice (IIS5 and IIS6 specific). Also the next occurrence has to be disabled the same way.
Start WMS ASP after this change, to check if there are no error messages. Errors in web.config would immediately prevent starting WMS ASP.
Session logging can be disabled by adding the 'remark' indicators in file web.config.
You can do this by making a 'remark' line of this part by inserting <!-- and --> before and after this line:
When updating to a higher version of Globe or WMS, the file web.config will be replaced by the default WMS file. If you made specific changes to this file, you will have to apply these changes again after the update.
When sessions are recorded, these are saved to the tables csPickItWebSessions, csPickItWebRequests and csPickItWebFormFields.
When the data from these sessions is not needed, it may be prudent to regularly clean up these tables.
