/RELEASE X X
CONVERSATION X X

Usage

/RELEASE resumes a conversation that was previously saved by means of the /HOLD command.

The last message sent to the terminal before /HOLD was entered is sent to the terminal again.

/RELEASE is not valid from an LU 6.2 device. LU 6.2 communications cannot release a conversation, whether started by itself or by another communications protocol.

If global resource information is kept in Resource Manager, /RELEASE updates the conversation globally in Resource Manager. If global resource information is not kept in Resource Manager, /RELEASE updates the conversation locally.

CONVERSATION
Specifies the 4-digit identification (including leading zeros) of the conversation to be resumed; CONVERSATION conv# is the 4-digit identification conv# that was provided when the conversation was previously held.

Example for /RELEASE Command

Entry ET:

  /RELEASE CONVERSATION 0001

Response ET:

IMS does not respond to this command except to resend the last message.

Explanation: Conversation 0001 has been released and can be resumed by the terminal operator.
