Studio Status Bar
The Studio status bar is displayed in the lower right corner of the Studio window. It displays the encryption status of the connection between Studio and TDV. It also displays the current Studio memory usage, and enables you to run JVM garbage collection to free up memory space no longer in use.

Description
Garbage Collection Button
This button initiates a JVM (Java Virtual Machine) garbage collection cycle to free up unused Studio memory. If the TDV Server is on the same computer as the Studio client, this button initiates a garbage collection cycle on the shared JVM.
Studio Memory Use Indicator Bar
This bar shows the total memory available to Studio and the memory it is currently using. Even if TDV Server is on the same computer, this indicator shows only the Studio usage.
Studio-Server Connection Type
Encrypted connection—
Unencrypted connection—
A closed-lock icon indicates that SSL protection is being applied to the connection between Studio and the TDV Server.
If the Studio and TDV are on the same computer or if they are both within a secured LAN, it is less important to encrypt the connection between the two.
If the connection must be secured, use the Encrypt check box at login to initiate an SSL connection between Studio and TDV.
