When you need to run updates and transfer data to and from Semarca, you will often need to make sure everyone is out of SAMS. This can be a daunting task- going around and asking, begging, everyone to please finish what they're working on so you can update. It doesn't have to be though- it's really quite simple- and not near as harsh as it seams.
There is a special feature built in that sends all users and email stating that the system will be shut down in 3 minutes for maintenance.
Go to Utilities > Users.
The User Information Window will open. This is where you set rights for all users.
Click the button. Everyone will receive an email. After 3 minutes, they will automatically be kicked out.
Do what you have to do.
Log out of SAMS.
Go to Q:\DAPPS\MEMB using your Windows Explorer. (Or go to My Computer, click on the Q:\ drive, and map out that way)
There is a file called SHUTDOWN.TXT
Delete this file.
Log in to SAMS.
Go to Utilities > Users.
Click the button. Everyone will receive an email stating it is safe to log back in to SAMS.
