Distributed Data Facility VTAM Detail

This panel shows information about DDF activities from the perspective of active VTAM® sessions.

DIST (distributed allied) and DBAC (database access) conversation types are always displayed at the top of the panel. Output is sorted by elapsed time of threads owning the conversations. If a thread owns multiple conversations, the plan name is displayed only for the first conversation. The Planname field is blank for all other conversations owned by the thread.
