Viewing User Session History
Access the User Session History page ().
The User Session History page enables you to monitor the signon and signout activity of a particular user within the time range specified.
A row appears for every PMU 109 (User Session Began) and every PMU 108 (User Session Ended) for that user.
Note: If you recycle the web server during this time, the user session is considered closed.
Note: Some signouts may actually be expired sessions on the web server if a user elected to close the browser rather than officially signing out of the PeopleSoft system (using the Sign out link).
Before you can view historical performance data that is related to users, you need to specify search criteria. This section covers the search criteria for user history.
