Terminate a Session

To terminate an MAI session

1. Use one of the following methods:
   • Exit the application associated with the session in the usual way (for example, use the EXIT command to end a CA SOLVE:Access session or use the LOGOFF command to end a TSO session).
   • Issue one of the MAI cancel commands against a session in the session list.

     These commands force the session to terminate and are useful under the following circumstances:

     • When the application is hung, and the session cannot be ended in the usual manner.
     • The application does not support a logoff function.
   • Terminate the region that is running MAI by logging off.

     MAI terminates all sessions by force. This type of termination can cause the application to take on a lost terminal condition.

     Note: If a script is associated with a session, and the script is executed when you terminate MAI by logging off, the script can perform a logoff procedure automatically. This implementation avoids the lost terminal condition.

   When a session is terminated, a session end panel is displayed. The panel indicates that the session has ended.

   Note: The display and format of the session end panel can be enabled or disabled by using the MAIPARMS parameter group of the Customizer.

2. (Optional) Press the Enter key to acknowledge the panel.

When you terminate a session, the next application in the session circle, or the MAI : Primary Menu (if no other sessions are active) is displayed. If no additional sessions are active and you are a class D user, you are logged off.
