Blocking or unblocking logins to an application
Note: By default, you can use this facility only if you
have a security authorization level of 5.
To block or unblock a login to an application
From Applids view, the Blocked
column is used to indicate whether or not further logins to a particular
applid are blocked. The applid may correspond to a VTAM or real applid,
or an APPL statement name.
Complete the following steps to block a particular
applid if it is currently unblocked, or unblock a particular applid if
it is currently blocked.
- Either:
- right-click the required applid, and then select
Block/Unblock from the resulting
context menu,
- or
- select the required applid, and then left-click
the Block or unblock Applid
icon on the view's toolbar.
- 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.
Usage notes:
- If you block a VTAM or real applid then all users are blocked from accessing any
applications that have an APPL statement
that references that applid.
- If you block an applid that corresponds to an APPL
statement name then users of other APPLs
that reference the same applid can continue to login, and you can start
sessions with that applid directly.
