Working with IBM Session Manager users and terminals

Users view provides an (optionally filtered) list of users and terminals logged in to IBM Session Manager. From here you can refresh the view, list the details for a user's sessions, send a message to a user, identify and unlock a locked terminal, identify each user spying on another user, trace a terminal user, or cancel and logoff a user.

Notes:

  1. Terminals on the mainframe displaying a Signon panel can be identified by the text (starting) in the User column; disconnected users on the mainframe can be identified by the text disconnected in the Terminal column.
  2. Users defined as shared can be identified by a four-character 'user qualifier' (see Shared User Facility) appended to the userid.

To list the details for a user's sessions

To identify and unlock a locked terminal

If a login password is entered incorrectly from a particular terminal more times than is allowed by the PASSTRY parameter on the TERMINAL, PROFILE or SYSTEM statements then that terminal is locked by IBM Session Manager.

To identify each user spying on another user

The Spying column is used to indicate whether or not a user is spying on another user.

To trace a terminal user

To cancel and logoff a user
