General points
The following general points relate to configuration defaults and overrides in IBM Session Manager:
- Several parameters may have any one of four options, Yes (or ON) or No (or OFF).
Note: When using the IBM Session Manager Administration Plug-in, only Yes or No can be selected, and values of ON or OFF set using the 3270-based user interface will be shown as Yes or No respectively.
- Unless otherwise stated, if the parameter is omitted, the default option is No. For example, if PCTRANSFER is not specified on any statement, the setting is PCTRANSFER No.
- Specifying a parameter on say a USER statement, overrides the same parameter setting on the PROFILE or SYSTEM statement.
- Where a parameter definition includes a IBM Session Manager statement name, a parameter name, or spaces, it should be enclosed in quotes, or parentheses.
- Several parameters define an 'escape' sequence or key, that can be used to invoke a facility, or initiate an action. In all cases, this escape must be delimited by a null or a space when issued, and can be any of:
- a character sequence from one to eight characters in length
- a function key: PF1-PF24
- an attention key: PA1-PA3, ATTN
- the CLEAR key (although this latter key should be used with care)
- the lightpen: PEN
