How to Set SCF Site and Session Options

The Session Control Facility (SCF) has two interrelated sets of options that affect sessions that use SCF-based products:

• Set site defaults for SCF-based products. After the value of an SCF site option is changed, the new value is the default for every new session that uses an SCF-based product that shares the same ADRPNL panel library. Only someone with SCF administrator authorization can change an SCF site option.
• SCF session options are a subset of the SCF site options, but session options affect only an individual session. If you use an SCF-based product, you can specify values for SCF session options. The values you specify are only in effect during the life of your session.

If you want all of your sessions to have session option values that differ from site option defaults, you must either respecify your SCF session options each time you sign in to an SCF-based product or include commands that specify your SCF session option values in a member that is automatically executed each time you sign in to an SCF-based product.
