Issue/Introduction

How can I cancel a CA Dispatch user's logon session? (For this example we will use userid2 as the userid).

Environment

Release: DISPAX00200-11.7-Dispatch
Component:

Resolution

- First, you need to obtain the LTERM ID that the user is logged on through.

  At the ENTER NEXT TASK CODE prompt issue this command: DCUF SHO USERS ALL 

The display looks similar to the following:

      SHO USERS ALL

 *USER ID                         PRI  *LTERMID
 <userid1>                        000  UCFLT001
 <userid2>                        000  VTMLT051
V1  Enter Next Task Code DSB0: 


 * You will want to make a note of the LTERMID associated to the user you want to cancel.


- Then, at the ENTER NEXT TASK CODE prompt issue this command: DCMT V LTE ltermid RES DEL

  This command will attempt to vary the users terminal offline and in turn, will try to force the users logoff. So in this example, since the LTERM ID is VTMLT051 the syntax of the command will be: 

      DCMT V LTE VTMLT051 RES DEL

 

This command, if successful, will cancel the users logon session and will delete/free the resources associated to that users terminal.

Additional Information

In some instances, depending on what the user was doing and how the terminal session is bound to IDMS, this command may not work and you may receive a "ADS IN USE" message. If you receive this, or any other error message, you will need to recycle the CA Dispatch started task in order to force the users logoff.
