Editing a single parameter

If you edit a single parameter then the Parameter Editor enables you to delete or override the parameter.

Note: The Inherits from display-only field near the top of the Parameter Editor shows the IBM Session Manager configuration definition from which the parameter's value is inherited.

To delete the parameter

If an override value is currently specified for the parameter then, underneath the Inherits from field, you will see the Inherit (Delete parameter) button. Left-click this button, which means the parameter's value will be inherited from the relevant IBM Session Manager configuration definition (consequently, the associated input fields will be deactivated in the Parameter Editor).

To override the parameter

If the parameter's value is currently inherited from the relevant IBM Session Manager configuration definition then, underneath the Inherits from field, you will see the Override button. Left-click this button and the associated input fields will be activated in the Parameter Editor, enabling you to override the parameter's value:

To reset the parameter

Left-click the Reset button to reverse the previous actions (delete or override) and reread the parameter from the IBM Session Manager configuration. Any unsaved changes for the parameter from either this or an earlier edit operation will be lost.

To complete the operation

  1. Left-click the OK button. The Parameter Editor will close and back in the relevant parent view (that is, Member Parameters or Session Parameters) the parameter name will be prefixed by an '*' (asterisk) symbol to indicate that a change is pending.
  2. In the relevant main view (that is, Users, Profiles, Terminals, Appls, or Systems), the name of the parent member will also be prefixed by a '*' symbol to indicate that a change is pending. Take the appropriate action (Save or Save and Activate) on this member to commit your changes to the IBM Session Manager configuration. See Working with member definitions.

To cancel the operation

Left-click the Cancel button. The Parameter Editor will close and any unsaved changes for the set of parameters from this edit operation will be lost.
