Event

Is logged when

Accept

The ThinView server accepts a connection request from a client. The only valid fields in this record are Time, Socket IP Address, and Socket Host.

Start

CimView is started for a session. All the fields are valid in this record.

Reconnect

A ThinView client reconnects to its previous session.

Tip: In general, you will see an Accept followed by a Start record for each client connection. In some cases, you will see only an Accept record. This typically indicates that there were too many users connected and the client was refused a session. If this happens frequently you may want to increase the number of users allowed.
