Transaction Agent

The Transaction Agent serves to protect the Chromeleon datasource files against access from the outside. Under no circumstances should you edit, rename, or move Chromeleon data in the Windows Explorer! To avoid unintentional operations on these files, use the Transaction Agent to protect the Chromeleon datasource structure against these operations in the Windows Explorer.

A Chromeleon datasource consists of a database part and a file part. When the Transaction Agent is enabled, the standard user cannot access the file part. This prevents unauthorized access to the Chromeleon file part in the Windows Explorer or via the command prompt of the operating system. The user of the Chromeleon client can nevertheless access this part via a virtual user (TargetUser).

First, set up the Transaction Agent in the User Manager, and then enable this function in the Security Activation Tool (CmSecure program). For more information, refer to Chromeleon User Management  Setting up the Transaction Agent in the Administrator Help section.
