System definition parameters for ETO

This topic describes the system definition parameters you can use with ETO.

Setting DEADQ status time with the DLQT parameter
User control block structures are normally created in several situations.
Autosignoff (ASOT)
Autosignoff deallocates users from an idle session. If no activity occurs on a session within an allotted time, users are automatically signed off and must sign on again in order to use the session.
Autologoff (ALOT)
Autologoff can terminate a session with IMS for a terminal that has been signed off for an allotted period. After an allotted time, the terminal is automatically logged off.
Autosignoff and autologoff timer
The VTAM I/O Timeout Facility (if active) detects users or sessions that should be automatically terminated.
Autologon
Instead of using the SHARE option on the TERMINAL macro to request that IMS automatically initiate a terminal session when output is available, ETO offers autologon support for ETO terminals and users. You specify autologon parameters when defining the user to IMS.
