The main Connector tab toolbar contains the following actions. After selecting each action, you are asked to confirm your choice.
Clicking this action removes any selected connector(s) in the list. The DME server no longer has a record of the location of the connector, and the connector must be reinstalled in order to appear in the list again.
As described in the section about the DME server architecture (see DME server architecture), each user is assigned to one connector to be serviced within a given function area (e-mail, search, etc. as specified in the connector setup). This is called the user's route. If that user needs to move to another connector (for instance because he is relocated to a different branch office), you need to select this action to flush the route table - both for the connector which the user leaves and the connector to which the user should be assigned. The route table is flushed for the entire connector. The DME server will start broadcasting users again, and the broadcast will be picked up by the connector to which the user has been moved.
The route from user to connector is created again at the time of the first synchronization. Please note that the notification scanner is not able to create routes. As a consequence, if there is no route to a user, a notification of a new e-mail will not reach the user until after the first synchronization, where the route is recreated.
You can flush routes for one or more connectors or users.
When a connector is installed on a server somewhere, and it tries to connect to the DME server, it is initially created in a Locked state. The DME administrator must manually toggle the lock status of the connector by selecting this action. Clicking this action toggles the lock of the selected connector(s).
