Administering Signed-on Users › List Active Users

List Active Users

The Active User List facility assists help desk staff or the systems administrator to perform the following functions for one or more domains connected by INMC links:

• Monitor user activity
• Cancel a user
• Disconnect a user

The System Support : User ID List lets you identify which domain (in the generic resource) each user is currently attached to. You can then apply any of the available actions to a particular user attached to a particular domain.

On the User ID List, entries are displayed within their domains, with delimiter lines dividing the domains. The local domain (if selected) is always shown first, with others following in domain name (link name) order.

Error messages, such as NO MATCHING USER(S) ON THIS DOMAIN, are displayed for any domain where they apply.

Matching user IDs show the user ID and one of the following:

• The terminal name (LU name) if logged on (signed-on user)
• The disconnection data if applicable (disconnected user)

To list active users

1. Enter /SS at the prompt.

   The Security and System Services : Primary Menu appears.

2. Type LU at the Select Option prompt and complete the following fields:

   User ID

   Specifies the user ID for which you want to search. You can enter the leading characters of a user ID to limit the search. If you enter eight characters, then this value is used as an exact match. If you enter less than eight characters, then this value is treated as a prefix.

   Note: If the last character is an *, then it is ignored; that is, user IDs USER01 and USER01* are equivalent.

   Link or Domain Name

   Identifies the name of the domain from which you want to obtain information. There are four options:

   • Leave blank for the local system.
   • Enter a specific link name.
   • Enter ? to display a list of link names from which you can select one or more.
   • Enter * to denote all active remote domains.

   Note: Link name on this panel means an INMC link that is currently active.

   Press Enter.

   The System Support : User ID List appears. The panel provides actions that enable you to disconnect or cancel a user session.
