Remarks

The SQL Anywhere Console allows you to monitor the server from a client computer. This utility is also called the Network Server Monitor. You can use it to track who is logged on to a database server elsewhere on your network. You can also display both server and client statistics on your local client screen, disconnect users, and configure the database server. The SQL Anywhere Console can display information for multiple connections.

To disconnect a user from a database
  1. Connect to the database from the SQL Anywhere Console.

  2. In the User ID column, right-click the user and choose Disconnect.

    You can configure the columns that appear in the SQL Anywhere Console in the Options window, which can be accessed by choosing File » Options. See Using the SQL Anywhere Console utility.

The SQL Anywhere Console is available on all supported platforms except Windows Mobile, AIX, HP-UX, and HP-UX Itanium. On these platforms, you can use the connection-level, server-level, and database-level properties to obtain information or you can monitor your server from a computer running an operating system that supports the SQL Anywhere Console (such as Windows, Mac OS X, or Linux).
