How to: Reconnect to a Session with "Quadrant"
[This content is no longer valid. For the latest information on "M", "Quadrant", SQL Server Modeling Services, and the Repository, see the Model Citizen blog.]
In Microsoft code name “Quadrant”, database operations are carried out in sessions. A session is a connection to a database during which you can query and change data. If the session is disconnected, queries will fail and changes cannot be committed. However, you can attempt to reconnect by refreshing the connection.
For more information about sessions, see About Database Sessions in "Quadrant". For more information about creating a session, see How to: Connect to a SQL Server Database with "Quadrant".
To reconnect a session
Select the workpad that is associated with the disconnected session.
On the View menu, click Refresh or press F5.
If the attempt to reconnect fails, your data changes are not lost. Even if you close the workpad, “Quadrant” retains your changes in the Quadrant repository database. The changes remain unless the session is deleted.
To find sessions in the database
On the View menu, click Explorer, and then click Quadrant.
Expand the Database node.
Expand the Microsoft.Quadrant node.
Expand the Databases node.
Double-click the name of a database for session records.
In the properties view for the database, expand the References section.
All sessions for the database are found in the references section.
