Hi All,
We have a CICS program that is initiated through START task with interval of 9 hours and with a particular terminal. This program will issue a CESF command for that terminal to sign off that terminal.
However, the process is just getting into ZCIOWAIT, because when the session is idle for more than 15 mins, CICS locks the terminal and user has to unlock the session by entering password. When the session is locked, our CICS program is not able to access the terminal thereby waiting for abnormal length of time for the user to come back and sign in.
My questions are -
Is there a way to sign off the terminal even when it is locked by CICS?
Is there any way I can identify that the terminal im trying to access is locked by CICS? If so, i can code logic to bypass sign off if the terminal is locked.
Any other ideas for this scenario, please share with me, it will be really helpful.
Thanks
