Terminal Timeouts Your installation may be set up so that after a period of inactivity (for example, if your
terminal is left logged on but unattended overnight or over a weekend), some action
automatically occurs. For example:
A message may be logged to the activity log and sent to all monitor-class
operators.
Your terminal alarm might ring.
Your terminal may be locked. In this case, you must reenter your password before
you can continue.
Your terminal may be disconnected from the NonStop NET/MASTER MS
application. If this happens, your system manager or another operator with
sufficient authority must reopen your terminal by using the OPENTERM
command.
How Global
Configuration Values
Affect Your Operations
Environment
In addition to your user ID definition record, your NonStop NET/MASTER MS
operations environment is affected by global values that may be configured for your
particular NonStop NET/MASTER MS site. Many system-wide settings affect your
interaction with NonStop NET/MASTER MS, such as whether the NonStop
NET/MASTER MS Primary Menu screen is displayed if you are only allowed to
choose one menu item, how many days your password is valid before you must
change it, whether the current time is displayed in the title line of your OCS window,
and so on.
Your system manager should inform you of how site-specific customizations affect
your interaction with NonStop NET/MASTER MS.
