Contact an SGD Administrator, supplying all the information shown in the error message.

Suspending and Resuming Applications

Some applications can be configured to keep running, even when they are not displayed. These are “resumable” applications.

To close an application’s window without ending the application, you suspend the application. To display the window again and start using the application, you resume the application.

As an application is still running even though it is not displayed, you can start writing an urgent report in the office and then log out of SGD at the end of the day. The application is suspended. When you get home, you can log in to SGD again, resume the application and carry on writing the report.

Suspending and resuming applications is done using the session toolbars on the webtop.

Session Toolbars for Controlling an Application

There is a separate session toolbar for each running instance of the application:

Click to suspend an application

Click to resume an application

Click to end an application

Click the triangle to hide and show the session toolbars for the application sessions, as shown in FIGURE 1-11.
