System Monitor Functionality

The System Monitor provides a command line which executes in event handler context and displays information about the processes that are running in the system. The functionality of the System Monitor includes:

• a command line which executes in event handler context. This means that anything that can execute from an event handler can be executed from this command line;
• the ability to execute SQL statements; and
• provides a log of event chain processing in the executing window as well as commands entered at the command line.

The System Monitor is a tool which can be used to execute any process you need to run. Developers can use the System Monitor to:

• issue a STOP command in the event of window locks-up; this closes all open windows without going through OpenEngine; the System Monitor must be running prior to the window lock-up;
• view the event chain as it executes; and
• System Monitor output can be redirected to a control in an executing window, if the control has the STATUS_LINE property enabled; this allows you to view what's being processed in an executing window, real-time.
