Configuration Parameters › CONFIG Member Parameters › DROPSESS

DROPSESS

This parameter indicates whether CA XCOM Data Transport drops an LU-LU session at the conclusion of a scheduled file transfer.

YES

Indicates that CA XCOM Data Transport drops the session.

NO

Indicates that CA XCOM Data Transport does not drop the session.

QEMPTY

Indicates that CA XCOM Data Transport is to process all the transfers to a particular LU in the request queue before dropping the session.

ALL

Indicates that CA XCOM Data Transport drops all sessions, including SNASVCMG, at the conclusion of a scheduled file transfer. If all transfers for the particular LU in the request queue have finished.

<timeout value>

Indicates that if there is no activity on the session for the specified time interval, the session is dropped. This includes the SNASVCMG session. Valid values for the timeout interval are 1-60 (Seconds).

Default: NO

Notes:

• CA XCOM Data Transport for VAX and some CA XCOM Data Transport for UNIX products do not support z/OS-initiated session establishment. Therefore, DROPSESS has no effect when the target of the transfer request is one of these platforms.
• DROPSESS=ALL is only used for infrequently‑used SNA partners to avoid potential problems with SNASVCMG sessions being dropped and possibly established simultaneously with heavy volume of transfers. DROPSESS=ALL is similar in function to DROPSESS=QEMPTY but drops the SNASVCMG session as well.
