To update the IBM Session Manager session flash area
Complete the following steps to update the IBM Session Manager session flash area. This area, which is referenced by variable s_flash, may be included in PANEL definitions - the Menu and Sign-on panels being the most useful. The session flash area is particularly useful for informing users of session status.
From Applids view, to update the IBM Session Manager session flash area:
- Either:
- right-click the required applid (which may correspond to a VTAM or real applid, or an APPL statement name), and then select Set Flash from the resulting context menu,
or
- select the required applid, and then left-click the Set the Flash message for an Applid icon on the view's toolbar.
- The Set Flash Text dialog will appear. Specify the message text in the input field or, to clear the session flash area for all sessions using the selected applid, delete any text that appears in this input field.
- Left-click the OK button. A Response pop-up box will appear containing a message to the effect that the operation is complete. To close this pop-up box, left-click the OK button.
Note: The session flash area will remain current until it is updated, or cleared.
