RSTSIGNOFF
The RSTSIGNOFF system initialization parameter specifies whether all users signed-on to the active CICS region are to remain signed-on following a persistent sessions restart or an XRF takeover.
- RSTSIGNOFF={NOFORCE|FORCE}
- It applies to the following events:
- A persistent sessions restart, where PSDINT=value and PSTYPE=SNPS or MNPS are specified, and the restart follows a CICS abnormal or immediate shutdown.
- A persistent sessions restart, where PSDINT=value and PSTYPE=MNPS are specified, and terminal sessions are recovered as a result of a z/OS Communications Server restart.
- An XRF takeover, where XRF=YES is specified.
- NOFORCE
- Do not sign off users, unless FORCE is specified on either:
- The RSTSIGNOFF parameter in the TYPETERM definition referenced by the user's terminal definition.
- The XRFSOFF parameter in the CICS segment of the user's RACF® profile.
Thus for a user to remain signed on after a persistent sessions restart or an XRF takeover, NOFORCE must be specified as a system initialization parameter, on the TYPETERM definition, and in the CICS segment.
- FORCE
- Sign off all users regardless of the options specified on:
- The RSTSIGNOFF attribute in the TYPETERM definition referenced by the user's terminal definition.
- The XRFSOFF parameter in the CICS segment of the user's RACF profile.
See The CICS segment for information about user profile options in the CICS segment, and see TYPETERM resource definitions for information about the TYPETERM resource definition.
