The Complete Time Tracking Pro Server can be stopped to perform file system backups or to temporarily prevent access to perform server maintenance.
The Server can be stopped and started in two ways:
1. From within Complete Time Tracking Pro when you are currently logged in, using the Server Status window. Note: On Windows Vista this option invokes the separate Server Manager program.
2. Using the separate Server Manager program if you are not currently logged in to Complete Time Tracking or the server is stopped.
Warning: When the server is stopped, current users will experience connection errors when actively using Complete Time Tracking Pro and other users will not be able to log in. The active users will automatically be logged back in when the server is started and they begin to actively use Complete Time Tracking Pro. We therefore highly recommend that all users are logged off before you stop the server to avoid data loss. You can check the number of connected users from the Server Status window or the Server Manager program.
Note:
| • | Only Users who have security access to Server Status will have access to the Server Status window. |
| • | The separate Server Manager program is only installed on the server computer and should be run by the Windows administrator user. |
| • | On Windows Vista the server status window is not available. The separate Server Manager program will be used instead as controlling the server requires elevated privileges. |
