Hello there,  
what i would like to accomplish:

> i'm analysing online Client's with system.util.getSessionInfo() to know if there's any Designer's opened.  
> If true, i'd like to force the Client ID (that has the designer opened) to launch a Client (specific project) without going to the Gateway webpage.

Thanks in advance.

N.

No stock way to do this, sorry. The only idea that would even approach this would be a message handler that spawns a new process, but 1) it would only run if the designer was in preview mode, and 2) the designer had the containing project open.

You could write a java add-on module that implemented such a function in a push listener.
