View iSeries NetServer session properties

You can view the attributes for an active iSeries NetServer™ session within iSeries Navigator. This allows you to see the properties of clients that use iSeries shared resources. You cannot change or reconfigure these properties because they are records of client activity that contain information only.

To display the properties for an iSeries NetServer session, follow these steps:

1. Open iSeries Navigator and connect to the system you want to work with.
2. Expand Network.
3. Expand Servers.
4. Click TCP/IP to retrieve a list of the TCP/IP servers available.
5. Right-click iSeries NetServer and select Open.
6. Expand Sessions.
7. Right-click a user session and select Properties.

iSeries NetServer supports multiple users, including guests, logged on from the same workstation. Information for each session displays the actual user name even if the guest account was used for authentication. As a result, you can see duplicate sessions with the same workstation and user name. Information will be displayed for the following fields:

• Number of connections
• Number of files open
• Number of sessions

1. If multiple sessions have been established, they can end when the iSeries NetServer idle time-out value has expired. This occurs regardless of whether or not there are open files for that session.
2. Multiple users could be active from the same workstation. In V5R2, ending a user session ends only the iSeries NetServer file and print activity for that session. However, when the client workstation detects the loss of connectivity for one of the sessions, the client workstation may decide to end them all and optionally establish new sessions.
