Download MDE User Manual

Using the MDE Client
and the network connections to all target databases are closed automatically. When you restart
the MDE you must log on again.
Note: When you open a connection to an MDE Site, the connection to that site remains open
until you shut down the MDE Client. You cannot voluntarily close a connection to an
individual site, even though each site was opened separately. Connections to MDE
sites can only be closed when the MDE Client is shut down. As an example, if an
individual MDE Site loses its connection due to a network problem, the MDE still
maintains its connection to any other MDE sites that may be open.
♦To log off the MDE:
1. Click Exit from any MDE module window in which you are working.
MDE closes the window you are working in and displays the main MDE window.
2. Click the Exit button on the MDE main window.
MDE closes the window and connections, as well as the corresponding MDE Server jobs,
to all sites.
