Displaying connected sessions

To discover what users are currently connected to the geodatabase, you can use the sdemon command with the info operation and the users or users_long option.

The syntax for this is as follows:

sdemon –o info –I {users | users_long} [-q]
{[–i <service> | <port#>] [–s <server_name>] | [–H <sde_directory>]}

When you specify the users option, the sdemon –o info command returns the following information, with each returned row representing one connection:

When you specify the users_long option, the information is returned in a list per each connection. The following information is returned:

Steps:
  1. Open an MS-DOS (Windows) or shell (UNIX or Linux) command prompt on a computer on which you have access to the ArcSDE administration commands.
  2. Issue the sdemon command with the info operation and users or users_long option.
    sdemon –o info –I users –i 6000 –s myserver

    TipTip:

    To see which users are connected to a geodatabase in a user's schema, you must specify the schema name with the -i option. For example, for a geodatabase in the schema maxp in the previous example, specify -i 6000:maxp.
