Hardware Management Console Logoff or Disconnect

This task is used to close the Hardware Management Console workplace and log off or disconnect from the Hardware Management Console.

Log off
To exit the console, select Log off.

Logging off only ends the current Hardware Management Console session. It does not affect the status or operation of the defined Central Processor Complexes (CPCs) or CPC images.

Note: If you log off while tasks are active or windows are open the console will notify you that there are active tasks or open windows. You have the option to proceed, terminating all tasks that are running before they complete.

Disconnect
To disconnect from the console, while preserving your session as your tasks continue to run, select Disconnect.

When you log back on you will be notified of the disconnected sessions and whether or not you want to reconnect to them or begin a new session.
