that you close GeMS by clicking on 'File'>'Exit'
or by clicking "X" in the top right hand corner.
You will also get this message if someone else has logged
in with your GeMS User name and Password, we therefore
recommend that you make sure that no-one else is logged
in as you before you reset (instructions below) as this
will cause messaging problems.

What do I do when I stop receiving responses to entries?
|
|
The first thing to check is that the ASM GeMS Message
Processor is running. To do this you will need to be
on the machine that runs the ASM GeMS Message Processor.
First check that you have 3 diamonds showing in the
bottom right hand corner of the screen.

The programs may still be running but could be hidden,
if your system tray has an arrow like the example below,
click on the arrow and it will show any hidden programs
that are running.

If all 3 of these are running you can
test your communications by trying a Query of CCS-UK
from your GeMS User Application. This should always
be done before attempting to resend entries. If you
don't receive a response back to the Query then you
may have a communications problem and will need to contact
the ASM Helpdesk for further assistance.
If none of the diamonds are showing then load the ASM
GeMS Message Processor by either double clicking the
ASM GeMS Msg Processor icon on the Desktop

or click on Start>Programs>ASM GeMS>ASM GeMS
Msg Processor

|
What do I do when I have to keep refreshing my screen
to get entry updates? |
|
If you keep having to click 'Refresh' to receive a response
to an entry, first of all close out of the GeMS User
Application and re-load it. If you still have to click
'Refresh' then you may need to re-start the GeMS Message
Processor. If you have access to the server follow the
instructions above, if you don't have server access,
you will need to speak to your System Administrator
and ask them to re-start the message processor, or ask
them to call the ASM Helpdesk for assistance.
If after re-starting both the User Application and
Message Processor you still have to click 'Refresh'
to get responses back please contact the ASM Helpdesk
for further assistance.
