account locks up. It then records the server time/date, IP address of the offender
and the account in question.

the database access. Therefore, if the Web Application Server has an ODBC Data Source
Name configured for a particular database system, the WRAAS can query and generate
reports from that source

or a project tracking number. This facilitates the reporting, progress tracking
and aids in the software development project documentation
