Logging Off Areas in WebFOCUS Environments

You can logoff and then reconnect using different credentials for the following areas in WebFOCUS Environments (without having to restart Developer Studio):

If credentials are stored in the Environment properties, required cookies are deleted during the logoff process and stored credentials are reused to establish a new connection.

Procedure: How to Logoff Areas in WebFOCUS Environments

Select the WebFOCUS Environments object area.
Either right-click the object and select Logoff or select Logoff from the File menu.

When you select the Logoff option, the following occurs:

Any open tools are closed and you are prompted to save changes. If you choose not to save changes and click Cancel, the Logoff action is also canceled.
When tools are closed, any open trees collapse and the following cookies are deleted:
- At the environment name (client and Web connection):
  WFC_cookie
- For available Data Server nodes:
  WF_cookie
- For Managed Reporting:
  MR_cookie

Note:

For Managed Reporting, a connection to a WebFOCUS Reporting Server is usually required and most likely established. Clearing the MR_cookie will not clear the WebFOCUS Reporting Server cookie since a new connection may need to use the same WebFOCUS Reporting Server.
If caching is enabled, cache of remote directory and file information (metadata level caching) is automatically refreshed when you log on, create, delete, or rename applications or files across all areas of the product.
You do not have to clear file I/O (content) caching. File content caching is performed for individual environments and metadata is refreshed when you log on. If a file is cached and user has access to this file, the cached file will be opened.
The logoff option is visible only after a connection is established for the selected area.
