Guidelines in AppStream

These topic provides guidelines on how to log-off from PWB and how it impacts the open sessions in AppStream.

• If PWB is in the main menu, all index files and other files are closed to make it safe. It is alright to close a session or tab without signing out.
• If PWB is not in the main menu and you close session or tab while changing a data where the index is updated, for example, creating a new color-coding definition and so on, the index files are affected. PWB will automatically try to fix the index time stamp issues. An index warning is displayed.
• PWB has a 15-minute timeout. You will return to the main menu if there is no activity.
• If you close a session or tab and restart PWB from the M3 menu, the same session is restarted because AppStream has its own timeout on when to close an AppStream session.
• If you select End session in AppStream, the session is also closed as an AppStream session.
• If you restart PWB, a new AppStream image is used.
• A message is displayed that AppStream is closing the PWB session, but primarily if you click End session to restart PWB.
• When PWB is started, an AppStream image is launched. If a No streaming resources AppStream message is displayed, this means that AppStream is preparing a new image. You have to wait for a few minutes to start PWB.
