How to get a list of users logged in (EP6 SP2)

[Former Member]

Hi,

I want to create an iView that lists all the users who are currently logged in. I found the method "getLoggedInUser()" of the interface "IAuthentication" but I don´t know how this method can help me for my purpose. All I get back from this method is an object IUser of

myself

!

Has someone an idea how to manage this purpose?

Thanks in advance.

why would you want to write such an iview when the exact same function already exists in the portal. try System Admin / Monitoring, Portal / Logged On Users. you can simply reuse it.

have fun.

If you've tried doing this in a clustered environment you probably would see why. It lists the users per application server.

As far as I know there is no easy way to do this. Think you need to contact each cluster separately.

Is SAP planning to improve the logged on users iview ?

(otherwise I might hack something up when I have the time)

Thanks a lot for your help. I really haven´t yet known about this iview.

But my problem isn´t already resolved: my complete goal was to create an iview for sending PopUp-Messages between the users logged in. So I need a list of the users logged in. The users are linked to another iview for writing and sending a message (the iviews are connected via EPCF) so that there is no need to enter the user again.

I searched for the par-file that belongs to this iview, but I only found the portalapp.xml and the jar-file without any documentation how to use.

Do you have an idea where I can find the javadoc and/or the source files and/or the complete par file to this iview?

That would help me a lot. Thanks in advance.
