When you activate a connection, a warning may appear, depending on the status and usage of the active connection. The following table shows the activate processing and warning messages that may appear in the warning message box. The possible situations are listed in order of precedence, highest to lowest. If more than one situation applies, the message box and operation for the situation listed highest in the table is used. See Activating a Connection for details about activating a connection.

DB Programminga |
<connection name> is a [modem / remote configuration] connection, which is in use by DB Programming. Before you disconnect, you must terminate the DB Programming session. (Disconnect anyway / Cancel) |
The connection is closed.b Monitoring stops. DB Programming and any other applications are left running, but their links go down. |

Another application |
<connection name> is a [modem / remote configuration] connection, which may be in use by the following:<list>c Are you sure you want to disconnect? (Disconnect / Cancel) |
The connection is closed.b Monitoring stops. Other application is left running, its link goes down. |
|
|
Onsite or Network |
Database Programming or another application |
None |
The connection is closed.b Monitoring stops. Other applications are unaffected. |
a. Because DB Programming may be in the middle of processing a restore or any other update, the System Administration & Diagnostics application does not blindly force it to terminate. Verify that DB Programming is not busy, and then end the session.
b. After the active connection is closed, the newly selected connection is activated. If setup options indicate (see Programming System-Wide Options), the System Administration & Diagnostics application connects to the new active connection. If successful and setup options indicate (see Programming System-Wide Options), diagnostic monitoring begins and the new active connection launches DB Programming.
c. The list of applications that may be using the connection may include one or more of the following: AWS Web page, SSH connection, and Diagnostics Monitor. System Administration & Diagnostics checks for these applications at least as reliably as DB Programming did in versions 3.0 through 3.2. If applications other than those listed are using the connection, they may not be detected. Also if the AWS Web page is open for any 5000 CP, because the IP address is not internally visible to System Administration & Diagnostics, it is listed as an application possibly using the connection.
