General PDMS Facilities

This section describes some commands which are available in many PDMS modules, including Isodraft. Only a brief summary is given here. Refer to the Monitor Reference Manual for further information.

Finding the Current User Status

The STATUS command gives you information about your current user status and that of the DBs to which you have access.

Finding the Current System Status

The SYSTAT command gives you information about the current active status of the project in which you are working. It lists all users who are currently accessing the project, the modules and databases which they are using, and whether they are examining (Read-only status) or modifying (Read/Write status) the database.

Listing Multiple-Database Information

The LIST command allows you to list most of the available project information held in the System Database (with the exception of confidential details such as other users’ passwords. which can only be listed by the Project Coordinator using the Admin module of PDMS). There are also forms of the QUERY command which display information about the project configuration.
