2872.0. "Users of application" by ANGLIN::HARRISA (user vicious) Wed Jun 16 1993 17:11

    i know, this might not be the proper place to ask, but....
    
    my customer wants to be able to find out WHO is accessing a particular
    application in ALL-IN-1.  the application is KEYpak.  I've suggested
    METERING, but they would prefer not to use it because of system
    performance hits.
    
    is there anyother way...
    
    ALl-IN-1 2.4 (and 3.0-1), VMS 5.5-2, KEYpak 2.9 and 3.0
    
    	thanks - ann

    Ann,
    
    I will start this mess.
    
    Is the *hit* for metering a perception?  I had/have worked with
    customers on setting up metering on large clusters, etc.. and
    in all cases, what LITTLE hit there was, was more than worth
    the information gathered.
    
    My KEYpak knowledge is nothing but, that never stopped me!  I
    believe it is accessed through different menu's. I also understand
    it changes your search order(s).  These would be perfect places to
    capture the user name, etc.. and write it out.
    
    
    HTH,

    hi tim...
    
    well, i know nothing about metering - except that someone told me that
    there are permformance hits when its used. but i won't let that stop
    me. if metering is the way to go...
    i'll read up on metering too (it might not be as bad as i think).
    
    KEYpak is accessed from ALL-IN-1 menus. the file search order is
    changed in our oa$ini.scp. the KEYpak FLB is opened before siteoaform.
    
    >>it changes your search order(s).  These would be perfect places to
    >>capture the user name, etc.. and write it out.
    
      	how would i do this?
    
    thanks - ann

    Ann,
    
    I think you would want to capture info from the menu (actual usage)
    versus initialization (oaini.scp) for everyone.  Unless only those
    involved with KEYpak have an oaini.
    
    Determine what you want to capture, user name, etc..
    
    Look at the WP, EM forms, etc.. for some good examples.  I can also
    fax you some information from the v2.4 level II programming course.
    (not on-line: send me mail - AIMTEC::BUTLER_T)
          
    Also, check STARS: A1 Info Update: Programming an Application for
    Performance .
