The SNA Help Desk panel for NetView Access Services lists all available applications that are active for your user ID. The SNA Help Desk panel for NetView Access Services can display up to 99 applications for a single NetView Access Services user ID. You can use the F7 and F8 function keys to look at all of the applications.

The SNA Help Desk panel for NetView Access Services displays information about the ID and what LUs the ID is logged on to. From here, you can cancel the NetView Access Services user ID. This action cancels one or more of the applications under the NetView Access Services user ID.

The SNA Help Desk panel for NetView Access Services provides the following information for the user ID:

Terminal Address

The address on which the NetView Access Services user ID is logged on. If the address shows as DISCONNECTED, the ID is disconnected. However, AON/SNA might still run applications that you originally logged on to by the user ID.

Relay LU

The pseudo terminal name given when an application is selected by the NetView Access Services user ID. If the name shows as NO SESSIONS, the NetView Access Services user ID is logged on and is currently on the selection list.

Application LU

The primary logical unit for the application. The naming conventions are important to help identify the application.

ACB Type

Explains the type of session the ID is logged on to. The settings are:

U

Unique

I

Individual

S

Shared

A shared session is a special case because it uses the same relay LU as the other NetView Access Services user ID. To cancel a relay LU that is shared, AON/SNA cancels the terminal address instead. If AON/SNA cancels a shared user ID, the user of that ID can log on to NetView Access Services with that ID and issue the LF command against the application that is stopped.

Canceling a NetView Access Services user ID

To cancel a NetView Access Services user ID and all NetView Access Services applications:

1. Type a non-blank character in the entry field next to the terminal address.
2. Press Enter.

   AON/SNA cancels the NetView Access Services user ID and all the NetView Access Services applications.

To cancel one or more applications running under the NetView Access Services user ID:

1. Press the Tab key to move the cursor to the Relay LUs column.
2. Type a non-blank character in the entry field next to the relay LUs and applications you want to cancel.
3. Press Enter.

   AON/SNA cancels the applications you selected.

To cancel any other type of ACB session:

1. Type a non-blank character in the entry field next to the terminal address.
2. Press Enter.

   AON/SNA cancels the ACB session you selected.
