Session Manager

Session Manager allows you to establish and enforce a specific version structure and user roles. Session Manager creates an edit session in which an editor may make changes. After the changes are complete, the user forwards the session through an approval process. A session (and its associated version) may travel through the process several times before receiving approval and being posted to the geodatabase. Session Manager allows users to create and edit sessions.

Session Manager is a sample Process Framework extension installed with ArcFM. You may customize this extension to fit your business needs. Session Manager may be extended by using the Process Framework Admin tool. This tool allows you to add users, create user roles, and assemble new tasks. By making changes in the Process Framework Admin tool, the Session Manager tables and Process Framework tables are edited as well.

You may also customize Session Manager by creating new Tasks in the Process Framework Admin tool. (Refer to the online help for the Process Framework Admin tool.) Tasks consist of a series of subtasks. ArcFM is installed with a pool of subtasks. You may also create subtasks programmatically.

Some values used by Session Manager are stored in the MM_PX_CONFIG table.
