Overview
Gensym's Telewindows product allows more than one user to access the same G2 independently. Each Telewindows user can open a telewindow, or remote view, into a running G2 process.
A Telewindows process can run on the same computer as the G2 process, or on a different computer to which the Telewindows connects across a network.
Each Telewindows user has all the capabilities of a G2 user; in fact, to a user, a Telewindow can behave just like G2's own window seen by a G2 user. With sufficient access privileges, and depending on the configurations declared in the current KB's items, a Telewindows user can not only access the KB workspaces shown in a Telewindow, but also create rules, edit attributes, even save knowledge bases (KBs), using the remote G2 process.
Tip: Associating User Modes with G2-Window Items describes how configurations determine how the current KB's knowledge appears in a G2 window.
A G2 interacts with a connected Telewindows by means of a g2-window item in the current KB. When the Telewindows process successfully connects with the G2 process, G2 automatically associates a g2-window item with that Telewindows process's own window. The G2 then updates what appears in the Telewindow via through its associated g2-window item.
