Session Characteristics

This product gathers the values for application session characteristics in the following order:

1. At the system level, the product gets the system default values from the SMRT and STXT tables. These values apply to all users.
2. At the application level, the product gets the application default values defined for the particular application in the application characteristics table (the ACT for CA TPX). These values apply to all users using this application.
3. At the profile level, the product gets the profile session default values from whatever profiles are assigned to the user. If more than one profile session with the same ID is assigned to the user, values from the first profile are used, but can be overridden by values from subsequent profiles. Some values are defined at both the system level and profile level. If a profile value is different than the system value, the profile value overrides the system value.
4. At the user level, the product gets the user values assigned to the user by a user administrator or by the user during self-maintenance. If a user value is different than a value set at the profile or system level, the user value overrides the other values.
