3. In the Load Snapshot File dialog box, navigate to the snapshot file you want to view and click
Open.
The snapshot looks like a regular OSM Service Connection session, except that “(SNAPSHOT)”
appears in the title bar and the system icon in the view pane (\STAR3 in this example) is gray
instead of yellow or green, which is used to indicate status in active OSM Service Connection
sessions.
Limitations:
• You cannot use an existing OSM browser window to load a new snapshot or to start a new
OSM Service Connection session.
• You cannot be logged on to a server and have a snapshot loaded at the same time in the
same window. However, you can be logged on to a server and view a snapshot by using
two separate browser windows.
