Foil 26 Join or Remote Open Possible

From Pictorial View of Tango Features with tutorial SIGGRAPH 98 Orlando -- July 19-23 98. by Geoffrey C. Fox


1 We showed how users could be added to sessions by clients joining a session initiated by the master.
2 Alternatively, one can use a remote open command shown on previous and next two pages
  • This is appropriate when one is sure that a group of users need to participate. This is typically the case in a distance education class when students have logged into Tango and teacher wishes to launch a shared application (e.g. the cross-product applet) on all student machines.
3 When teacher highlights the cross-product session (and no other users have joined), he or she is offered the allowed choices:
  • local close which will terminate session or
  • remote open which can spread session to any of the other users
4 The dialog box that jumps up allows one either to select specific users or all -- the latter is a good option for education when one typically wants all students involved.
5 We will see later how the configuration tab, allows clients to prevent unwanted remote opens cluttering their windows
