Participating in Shared Sessions

If you have been granted permission to share another user's session, and you have access to the server on which the session is running, you can join the session. When you attempt to join another user's session, the user is prompted to allow or deny the access request.

Note: 
  You cannot join a shared session from the same machine on which it is running.

To join a session shared to you by another user:

  1. In the Exceed onDemand Client dialog box, provide the information necessary to connect to the server.
  2. On the Action menu, click Join. If one or more users have shared their sessions to you, the Sharable Sessions dialog box opens listing these shared sessions. You can also view status and permission information.
  3. Select the session that you want to access and click Join.

If you experience a delay while Exceed onDemand connects to the server, it is likely that the master session is involved in an X application operation such as CDE login. Exceed onDemand connects when the operation is completed.
