Number of full primary sessions
This parameter defines the maximum number of primary sessions opened by a given user. Its value can be:
- either null (in this case, the number of sessions that the user can open is only limited by the licence).
- or positive (in this case, the value of the parameter gives the maximum number of sessions authorized for the user).
- or negative (in this case, by convention, no connection of this type is authorized for the user).
Of course, in all cases, the number of simultaneously open sessions for a user is also limited by the global number of sessions authorized by the licence: the lowest limit will be applied in all cases.
Level of localization / Global variable
The parameter is defined at the level User.Belongs to Module SUP (Supervisor) and to Group SES (Session Management),in which the following parameters can also be found :
- MAXSES2 (Number of full secondary sessions)
- TIMEHGUP1 (Time limited for disconnection)
- TIMEHGUP2 (Disconnection delay)
- TIMEHGUP3 (Secondary session time out)
- USR1 (User profile 1)
- USR2 (User profile 2)
- USR3 (User profile 3)
- VTMEN (Connection menu VT)
No global variable is associated to it.
Linked parameters
The following parameters are linked to the parameter MAXSES1 :
Supervisor
MAXSES2 (defined at level User) : Number of full secondary sessions
Functions concerned
No function is affected by this parameter (only the connection process is impacted by this parameter).
Comments
To avoid blockages to the administration functions, the limitation on the open sessions does not apply to the administrator whose code is defined by the ADMUSER parameter.
In addition, it should be noted that the fact of limiting the number of sessions for a user slows the connection process a little for this user, the checking for the connection processes being relatively long.
