Minimizing or Restoring the JADE Server Node Window

By default, the JADE server node window is automatically minimized and an icon is placed in the system tray when the JADE Remote Access Program starts up.

The Use System Tray Icon command from the File menu enables you to toggle the minimizing or restoring of the JADE server node window to or from the system tray icon. When the window can be automatically minimized and a system tray icon displayed in the Taskbar (the default value), a check mark is displayed to the left of the command in the File menu and an icon is placed in the system tray in the Taskbar at the lower right of the screen when the utility starts up.

The icon is removed from the system tray when the JADE Remote Access Program closes down or the use of the system tray icon is disabled.

To toggle the use of the system tray icon

• Click the Use System Tray Icon from the File menu.

When the use of the system tray icon is activated, a check mark is displayed to the left of the command in the File menu and an icon is placed in the system tray at the lower right of the screen when the utility starts up.

When you disable the use of the system tray icon for the utility, no check mark is displayed at the left of the command in the File menu, no icon is located in the system tray, and the window is not automatically minimized when the application starts up.

In addition, the UseSystemTrayIcon parameter in the [JadeServer] section of the JADE initialization file is updated to maintain the current value for future work sessions when you exit from the utility. For details, see the "UseSystemTrayIcon" parameter under "JADE Object Manager Server Section [JadeServer]", in the JADE Initialization File Reference.

When you move the mouse over the icon, bubble help is displayed that contains the information displayed in the title bar of the JADE server node window; that is, the node name, the path of the JADE database on the server node, and the configured transport protocol. This information, which enables you to differentiate between the JADE databases on the server workstation, is truncated to 63 characters in the bubble help, if applicable.

To restore the JADE server node window

• Left-click on the JADE Remote Access Program icon in the system tray at the right of the Taskbar.

The JADE server node window is then restored (that is, maximized).

To minimize the window again when the use of the system tray icon is enabled

• Left-click on the JADE Remote Access Program icon in the system tray again.

The JADE server node window is then minimized; that is, left-clicking on JADE Remote Access Program icon in the system tray toggles the minimizing and restoring of the JADE server node window.

To access the JADE Remote Access Program system tray icon menu

• Right-click on the JADE Remote Access Program icon in the system tray at the right of the Taskbar.

The system tray icon menu for the utility is then displayed.

The JADE Remote Access Program icon menu provides the following commands.

• Minimize / Restore

  The Minimize or Restore command, determined by the current status of the JADE server node window, toggles the minimizing or restoring of the JADE server node window.

• Disable User SignOn

  The Disable User SignOn command stops users signing on to JADE in a multiuser environment. For details, see "Disabling Users from Signing On", earlier in this document.

• Use System Tray Icon

  The Use System Tray Icon command enables or disables the automatic minimizing of the JADE server node window when the application starts up and placement of the JADE Remote Access Program icon in the system tray.

  Select this command from the icon menu if you want to disable the use of the system tray icon and automatic minimizing of the JADE server node window. The icon is then removed from the system tray. (When use of the system tray icon is disabled, you can enable it at any time by selecting the Use System Tray Icon command in the File menu of the JADE server node window.)

  The UseSystemTrayIcon parameter in the [Jade] section of the JADE initialization file enables you to configure whether the interrupt icon is positioned in the system tray.

• Sync Server Apps

  The Sync Server Apps command synchronizes the non-GUI server application details in caches. For details, see "Synchronizing Non-GUI Server Application Cached Details", later in this document.

• Exit

  The Exit command exits from the JADE server and closes the JADE database. For details, see "Exiting from the JADE Remote Access Program", later in this document.
