Blocking or unblocking logins to an application

Note: By default, you can use this facility only if you have a security authorization level of 5.

To block or unblock a login to an application

From Applids view, the Blocked column is used to indicate whether or not further logins to a particular applid are blocked. The applid may correspond to a VTAM or real applid, or an APPL statement name.

Complete the following steps to block a particular applid if it is currently unblocked, or unblock a particular applid if it is currently blocked.

  1. Either:
  2. A Response pop-up box will appear containing a message to the effect that the operation is complete. To close this pop-up box, left-click the OK button.

Usage notes:

  1. If you block a VTAM or real applid then all users are blocked from accessing any applications that have an APPL statement that references that applid.
  2. If you block an applid that corresponds to an APPL statement name then users of other APPLs that reference the same applid can continue to login, and you can start sessions with that applid directly.
