RE: User count

You must query just the "21" records as they are actual users.  Any other
record, such as IN, GL, OE, etc., will be submitted jobs or a sequence of
tasks.

Subject: RE: User count

I don't know why the count grows and falls the way it does, I think there
is either a background job that runs periodically or it gets triggered each
time a new user connects to the System 21 package...

CLNUSRALC or a Verify Allocations...?

I usually issue a command line call to XA705CLP which is the Verify
Allocations routine...  This is a shortcut to:
STRIPGAM
7. Utilities
4. Verify Allocations
This cleans up the records in APG02PHY that did not get deallocated
properly...

And another topic to bear in mind is how the user connects to System 21
will make a difference in how many user seats each person actually uses
up...

Using the "BlueBerry" icons from JBA Explorer will only use one connection
(i.e. only 1 license or seat) no matter how many screens they have open at
one time...  However, using a Server Session or a Green Screen will gobble
up a seat for each iteration of the System 21 package...  So for example if
a user has 3 Server Sessions connected to System 21 they are using 3
seats...!!!

The use of Group Jobs should also be avoided as this will also consume a
seat for each job running...

There used to be a really good explanation of this on the old JBA web page
in a service bulletin or something...  I don't know if it is still
available or not...

Good luck...
