Define what audit functionality is.
Can that be done as user is working within the app, or is this a User ABC
started @ and ended @ on this date?
Yes, I write an entry to the audit table indicating user ABC logged out at
such and such datetime. I will probably be adding more audit functionality,
and that will probably include something indicating that a user saved a
record, which can occur automatically when the user shuts down.
Could that logged in status stops ABC from logging in on another machine?
If that is true then you need to get that done first.
I have a separate table that just tracks who is currently logged in. This
is used to determine whether everybody is logged out so that backups or
other maintenance tasks can be done. During shutdown the user's record in
that table is simply deleted. (Even if I get rid of
auto-backup-on-shutdown, I will still need this table for use with the
separate maintenance utility program, which has the ability to force
everybody to log out.)
I am thinking I can do this stuff after the user has agreed to quit but
before ON SHUTDOWN is called.
I would still want to attempt to run those processes if the program is
being shut down due to an error condition, but would have to accept that
they might not all run, and should implement more testing for resources and
TRY...CATCH stuff.
I could set a flag indicating the processes were completed before ON
SHUTDOWN so they won't be run twice.
I also liked the suggestion that I ask users if they want my application to
shut down Windows after closing.
How do people feel about this approach?
Thanks.
