1C Server Administration Utility

Introduction #

This article covers basic operations of the 1C server utility for a client-server setup. The 1C server utility allows administrators to manage users lists, monitor memory usage by 1C processes, enable single-user mode for database updates, and more. Note that this utility is only available for Windows operating systems.

Installation #

To install the administration utility, select the Administration of 1C:Enterprise server feature during setup. Follow the instructions in How to Install 1C:Enterprise Server on Windows (Step 5).

Registering 1C Server #

To register your 1C server in the administration utility:

  • Open the 1C Server Administration Utility:
  • Add your 1C server to the utility by right-clicking the Central 1C:Enterprise 8.3 Servers node.
  • Select New-> 1C:Enterprise Main Server.
  • Enter the Server Name and IP Port (default: 1540) and press Ok.

Database Sessions and Connections Lists #

In 1C:Enterprise, a session represents an authenticated user, while connections are used by sessions to perform specific tasks.

  • To view the session list for a specific database:
    Navigate to ServerNameOrIP → Clusters → Local Cluster → Infobases → DatabaseName → Sessions.
  • To view the connection list for a specific database:
    Navigate to ServerNameOrIP → Clusters → Local Cluster → Infobases → DatabaseName → Connections.

If the database has at least one user with a configured password, you will be prompted to enter administrator credentials.

RAM Statistics #

You can monitor RAM usage per session and per connection, along with other key metrics, in the console columns. If the columns don’t fit on the screen, use the horizontal scroll bar to view additional details.

Single-user mode #

Single-user mode is useful for administrative tasks such as database configuration updates. To enable it:

  • In the console tree, right-click the database, check the Sessions opening lock is on box, and click Apply
  • Close all sessions except the one intended for maintenance: Right-click the selected sessions, then choose Delete from the context menu.
  • Repeat the same process for connections.

After completing maintenance, restore multi-user access by unchecking Sessions opening lock is on and clicking Apply.
