Using Advanced Services › Break Out of a Session

Break Out of a Session

When you are working in a session, a situation might occur in which you want to leave that session but cannot because a routine is running or an error has occurred, and the application will not accept input.

In such a situation you can break out of the session. Breaking out of a session allows you to issue commands without disrupting the application running in the session.

Note: If you break out of a session where a long-running application is executing, you will encounter one of two situations when you try to switch back:

• The application will have finished, and the results will be waiting for you.
• The application will not have finished, and the session still will not accept input.
