This screen is for information only and may be used when you request help from your administrator for this session ID. The session information fields are described briefly here. A three-character abbreviation, APL in this example, identifies the source of the information. The sources and three-character abbreviations are: global profile (GBL), group profile (GRP), user profile (USR), and APPLIST (APL).

Session id

Defines the session to CL/SuperSession.

Session type

Determines where control returns when you log off the application and, for CL/SuperSession, the number of sessions you can run. The Type column on the Main Menu shows one of the following:

Single

Transfers control to the selected session, but CL/SuperSession remains connected.
Functions such as triggers and cut and paste are unavailable. When you log off the application session, your terminal returns to the previous session or the Main Menu.

Pass

Transfers control to the selected session.
Functions such as triggers and cut and paste are unavailable. When you log off the application session, the system returns the terminal to the initial display screen.

Multi

Enables CL/SuperSession users to run more than one session at a time.
Functions such as triggers and cut and paste are available. When you log off the application session, your terminal returns to the previous session or the Main Menu.

Session source

Can be APPLDEF, which means that it is from your administrator's application definition list, ADMIN, which means it is from the global or group profile, or USER, which means it is from the user profile.

Application id

Identifies the session to the network.

Help panel

Identifies the panel ID of the panel that is displayed when you enter the H action code next to a session ID on the Main Menu.

Description

Describes the application environment.

Userdata

Specifies data or parameters you want passed to the application when it is started.

Logon data

Replaces the initial dialog. It is data that can be passed to the session or application during logon.

Logmode

Specifies the logmode assigned to this application. Ask your administrator for the logmodes that are available.

Initial status

Specifies whether the session is started automatically when you log onto an application:

D

Define. The session is defined but not activated. Status is inactive.

F

Foreground. The session is defined and activated. Status is current.

B

Background. The session is defined and activated. Status is active, but not current.

Alternate appl

Specifies an application defined by your administrator that starts automatically if the session ID selected from the Main Menu is unavailable.

Terminal pool

Identifies the adminstrator-assigned terminal pool for this application. Ask your administrator for the available terminal pool names.

Virtual terminal

When a Multi or Single session is started for an application, indicates the virtual terminal that is allocated from the virtual terminal pool.

Operator message

Shows a message created by your administrator about the application.

Simlogon

For a PASS session, indicates the value passed to VTAM® after you have started the session.

Display group

Causes this session ID to be displayed with its associated group on the Main Menu. The session IDs are sorted in descending display group order.

Display order

Specifies the position a session ID occupies within a group of session IDs. The session IDs are sorted in descending display order.

Initial dialog

Executes when the session ID you selected is established. Ask your administrator for the dialogs that are available.

Terminate dialog

The dialog that executes immediately when you terminate the session ID. Ask your administrator for the available dialogs.
Note: This dialog does not get control when a user performs the normal logoff sequence for an application.
