IBM Session Manager Implementation

Chapter 5. End user functions 157

There is no way to delete all the pushed entries from the Push/Pull index screen

with a single command. They have to be deleted one by one using the clear key.

The only way to have all the entries deleted at the same time is to

SIGNOFF/SIGNON the user.

5.3 Demo/View feature

The Demonstration and View feature enables the screen displayed at one

terminal (the DEMONSTRATOR) to be automatically displayed on other terminals

that are explicitly required to participate to the demonstration (the VIEWERS).

There can be up to 999 viewers for a single demonstrator, and no limit to the

number of demonstrator’s inside ISM concurrently active. All terminals in each

demonstration must be of a compatible type, otherwise unpredictable results

may occur.

5.3.1 Definitions

The only parameter that applies to the Demo function is the DEMO parameter.

This is present in the Common Enduser Parameters. The DEMO parameter

defines the defaults to be used for the following options:

򐂰

Demokey: Defines the sequence of characters, or the function or attention

key, that causes a screen image to be sent from the demonstrator to the

viewers.

򐂰

Internal: Determines whether Session Manager internal screens, such as the

Demonstration Viewer List or the Demonstrator Menu panel, are to be

included when automatic screen copying is in effect.

򐂰

Autocopy: Determines whether output to the demonstrator’s screen is

automatically sent to the viewers of the demonstration.

򐂰

Display: Determines whether the Demonstration Viewer list has to be

displayed.

5.3.2 Using the facility

The demonstrator and the viewers must be logged on to the same Session

Manager. It is not possible for a user logged on to a different Session Manager to

be part of a demonstration.

Demo

The DEMO command is a privileged one, having the default authorization level of

five (5). So it is available for all users with this level of authorization.

It is possible to issue the DEMO command only from the menu screen or from

the Demonstration Viewer List panel. It is also possible to issue the command

followed by options that can modify the specified defaults in the DEMO

parameter as defined in the common enduser parameter settings.

The first time the demonstrator issues the DEMO command (with or without the

options following) the Demonstration Viewer List panel is shown containing some

options that can be modified or not, and information about the viewers actually

connected (normally zero at this time); see Figure 5-8.

Figure 5-8 The Demo Viewer List - No viewers

View

If another user is enabled to enter the demonstration as a viewer, he types on the

menu panel the command VIEW, followed by the user ID of the demonstrator

(SM01 in this case), and he is inside the demonstration.

updated, and the USERID/TERMID is shown (SM05/092AABB7 in Figure 5-10).
