View or Track User Sessions

To view or track a user's sessions

From the VIEW Facility Menu, select option 1, Session View.

The Session View User Selection Menu is displayed, as shown in the following:

VIEW User Selection Menu Panelid - TEN0301 Userid - USR1 Enter the userID of the user whose sessions you Termid - TPXIUN04 want to view. Date - 01/03/03 Time - 13:17:31 Userid ==> USER05 Track user ==> Y (Y/N) Auto-Scroll ==> Y (Y/N) Override ACL Term=Off ==> N (Y/N)

Specify the user ID of the user whose session(s) you want to view.
Override the defaults for the Track user, Auto-scroll, and Override ACL TERM=OFF fields, if desired.
To override the value in a field, type over the existing value.

Field	Value	Description
Track user	Y	The view session displays only the user's current session. When the user changes sessions, the new session is displayed. This is the default value for the field.
	N	The view session displays up to four sessions simultaneously. You can select which sessions you want to view.
Auto-scroll	Y	The view window scrolls automatically. This ensures that the portion of the panel showing the cursor is always displayed. This is the default value for the field.
	N	The window does not automatically scroll.
Override ACL TERM=OFF	Y	If an ACL/E program is running in the session you are viewing, and that program has the TERM=OFF option set, the option is overridden. Output from the application is sent to the terminal.
	N	The TERM=OFF option is not overridden, and output from the application is not sent to the terminal while the TERM=OFF option is in effect. This is the default value for the field.

Note: If you have been granted temporary authority to view a session, you must specify N in the Track user field, because you can only view one of that user's sessions. To track a user, you must have authority to view all the user's sessions.

Press Enter.

If you specified tracking, a View panel showing the user's current session is displayed. See Using the View Panel in this chapter.

If you did not specify tracking, the View Session Selection panel is displayed, as shown in the following. This panel lists all of the user's sessions that you are authorized to view. From this panel you select which of the user's sessions you want to view.
