Manage saved sessions

You can modify your saved sessions that are listed in the Manage Sessions table. Follow the steps on this page to Delete, Import, Export, Edit, Copy, or Convert your sessions.

To ADD a session, see Add and Launch a Session

Note

Options are enabled for certain session types. For instance,

  • only Host Access for the Cloud sessions can be exported and imported.
  • only Reflection for the Web sessions can be converted (to Host Access for the Cloud).

Delete sessions

Check one or more sessions that you want to delete and click DELETE. The deleted sessions are removed from the list.

Import sessions

Applies to only Host Access for the Cloud sessions.

Click IMPORT and navigate to the zip file containing the Host Access for the Cloud sessions that you want to import to this MSS server. The zip file should have been generated when Exporting session data from another MSS.

Export sessions

Applies to only Host Access for the Cloud sessions.

Select one or more Host Access for the Cloud sessions to be exported and click EXPORT. A zip file containing the exported session data is generated and placed in the browser's download folder.

Caution

If the selected session contains sensitive information, that data will be included in the export package.

Edit a session

  1. In the Manage Sessions list, click the session you want to edit. Or, check the box and click EDIT.

  2. Use the scroll bar to see the available settings. Note that the Properties are not editable.

  3. Change the settings you wish to edit. Configuration details for your session type are described in Add and Launch a session.

  4. Click SAVE, or LAUNCH the session.

Note

If an administrator is editing a session, and a second administrator attempts to open the same session, a message displays to notify the second admin that the session is locked and changes cannot be saved.

Copy a session

You can add a new session with the same properties.

  1. In the Manage Sessions list, check or right-click the session that you want to copy, and click COPY.

  2. Enter a Name for the copied session. Click OK.

The session is saved with identical properties and added to the Manage Sessions list.

Note

The copied session does not automatically have the same access rights. You need to assign access to the new session.

Convert a Reflection for the Web session

The Manage Sessions list provides the CONVERT option to save a Reflection for the Web session as a Host Access for the Cloud session type. After the Host Access for the Cloud session is created, the original Reflection for the Web session remains unchanged in the Manage Sessions list.

To convert a session:

  1. In the Manage Sessions list, locate the Reflection for the Web session you want to save as a Host Access for the Cloud session type.

    Hint

    Reflection for the Web session types are identified by a globe icon next to the terminal type, such as 3270: Reflection for the Web.

  2. Check or right-click the session and click CONVERT.

  3. On the Convert session panel, enter the name of the new Host Access for the Cloud session, and the address of the Session Server that will host the session.

  4. Click CREATE. The new session is added to the Manage Sessions list and can be assigned to users or groups. Note that the icon changed to the Host Access for the Cloud session type: HACloud

The original Reflection for the Web session is unchanged and remains available in the session list.
