By Default, None of these options are enabled.

Lock option
Select the Lock checkbox to prevent users from changing the associated startup value for a session. Users cannot change values for most fields because the fields are unavailable. However, functions accessed from the session menu bar or tool bar can be changed.

Watermark (Yes or No)

Select yes to add watermark to the display session (3270 Display, 5250 Display, VT Display, CICS Gateway).

The default value is No.

If this is set to yes, the configure button is enabled to allow the user to set the properties for the watermark.

Configure: Click here to configure Watermark properties for display emulation session (3270 Display, 5250 Display, VT Display, CICS Gateway).

Note: Watermark is currently supported in Host On-Demand clients created with Deployment Wizard using HTML-based models. Therefore, the default clients (Eg. HOD.html, HODCached.html) would currently not have this facility. This facility is, currently, also not supported on Host On-Demand plugin and portlet flavors.
