Control Values › YAUTDSC - Auto Disconnect at Sign-Off › Usage

Usage

This control value controls the display of the sign-on (YSIGNON) page and the availability of virtual display devices as follows:

• If set to *YES

  Web Option users do not see the YSIGNON page when they sign off from the IBM i. Instead, the virtual display device they are attached to is automatically disconnected from the IBM i and the YENDED page displays. The virtual display device is available to other Web Option users.

• If set to *NO

  Web Option users see the YSIGNON page when they sign off from the IBM i. The device they are attached to is not automatically disconnected from the IBM i and the YSIGNON page displays. The virtual display device must be explicitly disconnected or it is not available to other Web Option users.

Note: If set to *NO, it is the responsibility of the developer to provide functionality on the YSIGNON page through which the user can explicitly disconnect from the virtual display device on the IBM i. This is done through the use of a button or similar HTML feature called W2E_CLOSE.

If a button is included on any Web Option skeleton with the name W2E_CLOSE as follows:

<input type=”submit” name=”W2E_CLOSE” value=”Disconnect”>

Tthe Web Option server disconnects from the virtual display device to which it is connected when that button is pressed, and the YENDED page displays to the client. If the button is pressed from any page other than the YSIGNON page, the user's interactive job ends abnormally and a job log is produced. If the button is pressed from the YSIGNON page, the user's interactive job ends normally.
