Administrator's Reference

CANCEL SESSION (Cancel One or More Client Sessions)

Use this command to cancel existing administrative or client node sessions, and to force an administrative or client node session off TSM. Any outstanding mount requests related to this session are automatically cancelled. The client node must start a new session to resume TSM activities.

If you cancel a session that is in the idle wait (IdleW) state, the client session is automatically reconnected to the server when it starts to send data again.

If this command interrupts a process, such as backup or archive, the results of any processing active at the time of interruption are rolled back and not committed to the database.

Privilege Class

To issue this command, you must have system or operator privilege.
