Effects on parallel sessions

Include the USER keyword when using authorized IMS commands with the NODE keyword.

Equivalent action is taken against all active, or potentially active, parallel sessions of the indicated node when a specific parallel session instance is not identified to IMS by the USER keyword.

For example, issuing the /CLSDST NODE x command without specifying USER schedules termination of all active parallel sessions of NODE x. Issuing the /STOP NODE x command without specifying USER schedules termination of all active parallel sessions of NODE x and also prevents any new parallel sessions from being initiated on NODE x.
