Resetting terminal status
You can reset terminal status (and thus terminate affinities) using commands, exit routines or parameters.
The following list includes the ways that you can reset the terminal status:
- An authorized command
- The Logoff (DFSLGFX0) exit routine
- The Signoff (DFSSGFX0) exit routine
- The RCVYFP, RCVYRESP, RCVYSTSN, and RCVYCONV parameters
- The NONE status recovery mode
The Logoff (DFSLGFX0) exit routine resets a terminal's status during a logoff. Similarly, you can use the Signoff (DFSSGFX0) exit routine to reset a user's status during a signoff. Resetting terminal or user status enables IMS to terminate an affinity with the terminal, enabling the terminal to log on again and participate in session balancing.
