Hi everyone:

Who can tell me How to KILL my TSO session ?

Some times I lost my network connection and when I try to reconnect to my TSO session I get a message " user already in use", so I need to KILL my tso session or wait 15 minutes to re-stablish my session.

Thanks .

Are you able to set the RECONNECT option on the bottom of the LOGON screen?

Reconnect works on some systems, not others. There are a few ways to kill the session, but usually the best way is to connect with another id that has priviledges to do this. Other alternatives (all require sufficient privilidge) include logging in to the operator console and cancelling the id, using a remote spool manager like IBM's Breeze or a home grown CGI script on a web server to cancel the id, submitting a batch job through FTP that can cancel the id... basically any way you can get into the system with the ability to issue a cancel command will work. If this is a frequent problem, I suspect that writing a little CGI program in Rexx that runs on the web server and is authenticated to the userid itself is probably easy to write and only moderately difficult to set up, but of course that assumes knowledge of Rexx, CGI, and web server setup.

what do you have at your shop? If you have SDSF, you can run in SDSF in batch from one of your co-worker's id (making you as the USER of the job), purge your id of the MVS system and then you can try logging back on

tony01,

Some more info to avoid logging off and login:

There might some instances / set up where if you do not use TSO Session for some speficed duration your session gets automatically logged off and again you need to log on .To avoid that you can use AUTOUPDATE OPTION.Try this :
IN SPOOL TYPE &60 which will autoupdate the session for every 60 seconds and you can give any value and Hit Enter

shekar,
Nice trick, but tony01 is getting the terminal disconnected, not timed out due to inactivity.

Hi tony01,
If you are locked out, as is oft the case: looping or chopped with reconnect failures, etc., and on your own working late...
(well it is Friday at 11:30 you doen't exactly want to ring up a colleague to help cancel you?!... or suffer the sarcasm of Operations?!!
Bummer!?... and even the pubs are shut now ?!)

This method works for me everytime (well, before I hacked it into this forum anyhow!).
Note that only the M/C SDSF command should be necessary and the sleep shouldn't be necessary but seems to help!
On your PC you need these two files on a private directory. Tailor the lowercase values appropriately ...

Thank you all for your inputs.

Steve Coalbran very useful script, It works , but in my case
I am not AUTHORIZED to execute /C u=myuserid commands in SDSF,
so I can not use this command.

Anyway thanks a lot everyone.

Tony

Hi,

I guess you can also make use of this JCL to purge your ID if reconnecting the session fails.

I faced the very same problem some years ago... I exposed one solution that was accepted by management, security team and others, published and now it's widely known and used in my shop... above you have several methods BUT you need the trigger, asumming you have CICS just use one transaction to submit the job using the CICS Spool sentences...

just pass the CICS USERID to the PROC.

acevedo,
Have you TYPRUN=SCAN coded purposely ? Or, would it be removed when executed ?

try it... you'll see that even with TYPRUN=SCAN... your session will be canceled.
