Step 4—Suspend the Session

While editing a process module, you can suspend the session for later completion. This is a temporary save that allows you to continue the changes or cancel them when you return to the module. You may want to suspend the session to perform other tasks, such as adding a record, creating a map, generating a dialog, or editing a different module.

To suspend a session:

  1. Type SUSPEND in the COMMAND line of the Edit Screen.
  2. Press the Enter key.

You will return to the screen from which you selected the module.

Users of the CA IDMS DME must ensure that no sessions are suspended when first starting a system. If any such session exists, they must be terminated by saving the changes to the dictionary. To ensure that no sessions are suspended, you may use the QUED task code to determine whether or not this queue exists. If it does not exist, there are no suspended DME sessions. If it is necessary to fall back to an earlier version of the software, you must again ensure that no suspended DME sessions exist.
