You can filter, sort, reorder, and hide Proxy Manager table columns to display proxies of
interest. You perform filtering and sorting by clicking on the column headings and selecting
the appropriate choice from the menu.
Filtering can be specified for any number of the columns. Column filters offer three possible
states:
• Show all values in the column.
• Show only the highlighted value or values in the column.
• Exclude the highlighted value or values in the column and show all others.
You can drag column headings to a new place in the table to reorder columns. To hide or
reveal a column, use the blue down arrow located above the vertical scroll bar on the right
side of the Proxy Manager.
Proxy Refresh
Click Refresh Data to update the table with the most current proxy data. Refreshing is
necessary after an initial connection or after a proxy state has been manipulated. Because
a proxy's state is dynamic, each refresh provides only an instantaneous snapshot of the
proxies. Data status can change immediately after the data is refreshed, which is the nature
of a dynamic client/server environment. If no users are currently logged on to the server,
a window displays the message.
Proxy Interrupt
Click Interrupt to interrupt a selected libref's proxies. The proxy's activity is halted when
it next processes data from its socket. The frequency with which the proxy accesses its
socket is unpredictable and can vary depending on many variables, but the proxy interrupt
operation is normally the first method used to halt a proxy from accessing a given data set
or domain.
