Forcing Users to Log Off
You may have to force a user to log off for any number of reasons, including code violations or disaster recovery. When you force a user to log off, the user’s next operation displays the following error message: You are no longer logged on.
Depending on the reason for your action, you may need an additional method, such as e-mail or the telephone, to notify users to stop accessing the application.
To log on again, the user must exit the application and restart the client. Most integrations between StarTeam and another application require the user to restart the application being used. However, these users are not usually notified that their connections to the server have been terminated. This operation can be performed only when the server is running.
