Enhanced Session Storage Access

You can store information in the storage of various session types, such as Client/Server, Web, or Mobile, allowing for easy reuse across different processes.

Now, in 4D 20 R6, you can access the storage of a specific session. This enhancement enables users to easily maintain the continuity and consistency of information across multiple sessions of the same user. Imagine being able to pull up the same customer record across different applications such as Client/Server or Web.

HDI: Get Session Storage

New command

The new command “Session storage by id” returns the storage object of the session ID given.

$storage:=Session storage by id($id)

For example, from another session, to modify a text in the storage of the session defined by the ID:

#DECLARE($id : Text; $text : Text)
var $obj : Object
$obj:=Session storage by ID($id)
If($obj.settings=Null)
  Use($obj)
    $obj.settings:=New shared object("text"; $text)
  End use
Else
  Use($obj.settings)
    $obj.settings.text:=$text
  End use
End if

Real-life case

You have a Client/Server application and have extended certain functionalities with Qodly. The exchange of information between these different sessions is essential to enabling users to move easily from one platform to the other.

1. To ensure a secure sharing of data, it is crucial to have robust authentication measures in place to confirm the identity of the connected user.
2. In addition, the “Get process activity” command provides a list of users and their corresponding session IDs, enabling efficient tracking and management of user sessions.
3. Then, use shared objects and the “Session storage by ID” command to reflect changes in session storage across other sessions of the same user. So, a cohesive and synchronized user experience can be achieved.
