Participants View

The Participants view shows a list of all currently configured host participants for the selected file collaboration job and contains a column used to display activity status occurring on the hosts. If a host has become unavailable, an error message will be displayed next to the failed host in red.

The Participants view also contains a table that displays the most recent host participant state changes, e.g., when a host was removed from collaboration session, or when a host came back online. This functionality is broken down into two parts: right-click context menu items and a subview entitled Host Participant State Change Log.

The following unique items are available in a right-click context menu for the top part of the Participants view:

Disable Host Participant

Temporarily disables the selected participant from taking part in the file collaboration job. You might want to do this if the host is experiencing temporary network outages.

Cancel Auto Restart

This menu item is only available if the global auto-restart functionality enabled and the selected host has been removed from the file collaboration job that is currently being viewed. The canceling of the auto-restart functionality for the host will only be in effect until the next time you start the file collaboration job. If quorum has been lost for the job, canceling auto-restart on all unavailable hosts will prevent the job from automatically restarting. If quorum has not been lost, canceling auto-restart will simply prevent a host from automatically re-joining collaboration.

The Host Participant State Change Log is a log of all host participant status changes (e.g., Collaborating, Not Collaborating) and/or state changes (e.g., Active, Pending Restart) of a host participant. This table is currently limited to 250 rows and can be filtered by host, by status, and by state.
