Display Virtual Terminal Status

A virtual terminal can have the following status:

DISABLED

The virtual terminal has been defined but is not running a session. An ENABLE and LOGON command are necessary to start a session.

ENABLED

The virtual terminal has been defined and enabled, but no session is active on it. A LOGON command or an external product acquire request is necessary to start a session.

ACTIVE

The virtual terminal has been defined and enabled and a session with an external product is active. A DISABLE command is necessary to disable the virtual terminal.

RETRYING

The virtual terminal has been defined and enabled, but a LOGON command did not complete successfully, or a session was in progress and terminated prematurely and RETRY mode was in effect. The EPI will attempt to reestablish the session up to the maximum number of retries allowed. A DISABLE command takes the virtual terminal out of service. A LOGON command reestablishes the session before the next retry attempt.
