<p>The Start DASD Management Session (QYASSDMS) API activates an exclusive
session to the server. Only one session can be active at any time.</p>
<p>On successful completion of this API, a handle is returned. This handle is
used on subsequent calls to the following APIs:</p>
<dl>
<dd>Start DASD Management Operation (QYASSDMO)</dd>
<dd>End DASD Management Operation (QYASEDMO)</dd>
<dd>End DASD Management Session (QYASEDMS)</dd>
<dd>Retrieve DASD Management Status (QYASRDMS)</dd>
</dl>
<p>Upon successfully starting a disk management session, the session remains
active until either the session is explicitly ended using the End DASD
Management Session (QYASEDMS) API or at least five minutes of no session
activity has occurred and another request to either start a disk management
session or to start DST has been made. If this second event occurs, the
original session is ended automatically, its session handle is invalidated, and
a new session is started for the requesting caller; also, a new session handle
is generated.</p>
<p>Each time a subsequent disk management API call is made with either the
QYASSDMO or QYASRDMS APIs using the handle returned from this API, a new timing
cycle begins. This timeout cycle restarts only after an operation (QYASSDMO)
has completed or a status check (QYASRDMS) has been requested using the
associated session handle. The timeout cycle is suspended while an action is in
progress that was called using the QYASSDMO API.</p>
<br>
<h3>Authorities and Locks</h3>
<p>To use this API, you must have *SERVICE special authority or be authorized
to the Service Disk Units function of Operating System/400 through iSeries
Navigator's Application Administration support. The Change Function Usage
Information (QSYCHFUI) API, with a function ID of QIBM_QYAS_SERVICE_DISKMGMT,
also can be used to change the list of users who are allowed to work with disk
units.</p>
<br>
<h3>Required Parameter Group</h3>
<dl>
<dt><strong>Session handle</strong></dt>
<dd>OUTPUT; CHAR(8)
<p>An 8-byte field containing a unique ID that will be used in subsequent disk
management API calls for the duration of the active session. The session handle
contains arbitrary binary data and should not be interpreted as character
data.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>Error code</strong></dt>
<dd>I/O; CHAR(*)
<p>The structure in which to return error information. For the format of the
structure, see <a href="../apiref/error.htm#hdrerrcod">Error Code Parameter</a>.</p>
</dd>
