DFC Start a session against an explicit CS

Hi,

In my application the user should choose the CS against he will connect. (There are 16 CS in 2 host)

What is the correct way to perform a connection against a explicit CS?

With my actual code the user doesn't select the CS. manager.getSession("repository") has nos the possibility to add the CS...

public boolean probarConexion (String repositorio)

{

try

{

sesion = manager.getSession(repositorio);

return true;

}

catch (DfServiceException e)

{

e.printStackTrace();

}

finally

{

if (sesion!=null)

manager.release(sesion);

}

return false;

}

Thanks!!!

I answer to myself

sesion = manager.getSession(repository_name +"."+contentServer_name);

Very easy, i only have to concatenate the repository name with the content server name!!! Then use IDfSessionManager getSession method

Why do you need to go to an explicit content server, surely the user is only interested in connecting to the required repository regardless of where it is being sefviced from?

If you are asking how do you get a list of available repositories (AKA docbase) take a look at

IDfClient, specifically the getdocbaseMap() method.

or is there something else you are after achieving?

Hi Andy,

The user is an administrator user, and he needs to see Active/Inactive sessions in all content servers or one by one content server (We have 16 CS and 7 Docbrokers).

Show_Sessions and List_Sessions methods only show sessions started in ONE content server. So i need to first connect against an explicit CS to see what sessions are started against it.

No, we can,t use DA to this. DA shows only Active sessions and also the users of this application don't have access to DA.

I know what i am asking for is possible because in Content Server Fundamentals Guide says (Page 41):

"Because some repositories have more than one Content Server and the servers are often

running on different host machines, DFC methods let you be as specific as you like when requesting the connection. You can let the system choose which server to use or you can

identify a specific server by name or host machine or both."

Thanks!
