/UNLOCK commands
/UNLOCK commands release resources that, in most cases, have been previously locked by the /LOCK command.
If the terminals are on a switched communication network and a physical or logical terminal disconnection occurs, an implied /UNLOCK is processed against the physical terminal and inquiry logical terminal.
When using ISC, the /UNLOCK command can only be used with logical terminals assigned to allocated users.
This command can be issued to an IMSplex using the Batch SPOC utility.
/UNLOCK SYSTEM is only valid if it is entered from the master terminal or from the system console on an XRF system.
A resource name can be defined with password protection in SAF for the DATABASE, LTERM, PROGRAM, and TRANSACTION keywords. If the parameter, LOCKSEC=Y (N is the default) is specified on the DFSPBxxx IMS.PROCLIB member, IMS™ calls the SAF and user exit. If the resource is not defined to SAF, or is defined and is authorized to the user, the command is processed. If the resource is defined to SAF but not authorized for use, the command is rejected with a DFS3689W message.
A period that is specified in the password
brackets is not treated as a delimiter.
