Print Session Status
There are several different messages that show the status of a Host Integration Server print session:
Active
Inactive
Pending
In Session: Indicates the print server session is active, and the logical unit (LU) is bound. For Advanced Program-to-Program Communications (APPC), a conversation is allocated.
Offline: Indicates the print session has been created, but the print server is not aware of it.
Paused: Indicates the print server session is active, but the printing has been paused.
To view the status of a print session, simply select the print session in SNA Manager.
Note
The status shown by the SNA Manager and the Diagnostic tool (DISPLAY.EXE) may appear to be different for a given item (for example, LU status). This is because the SNA Manager shows the currently active sessions. The Display tool shows what was negotiated during CNOS setup.
