VRC only allows one active design session per region. If a second user attempts to open a design for the same region while the first user has a design session open, the access for the second user is denied.
If there is already an active design session and you need to make an urgent change to the dial plan, you can set an emergency design session through the VRC console.
Note: Any user with dial plan administration privileges can set an emergency design session for a specific scope.
There are four possible scenarios:
A user has an active design session at the region level and the emergency occurs at the Administrative Domain (AD) level.
A user has an active design session at the region level and the emergency occurs at the same region level.
A user has an active design session at the AD level and the emergency occurs at the AD level.
A user has an active design session at the AD level and the emergency occurs at the region level.
When the second user sets an emergency design session, the design session for the first user is closed. The user is notified that the session is closed and a design file is created. The design file name includes the time stamp, user name, scope, and file type.
The first user is not logged out of the VRC server.
Use this procedure to set an emergency design session from the VRC console.
