Resolution

goal
Will setting up ISM to end sessions immediately via Option 6 Display/Change System Parameters honor the Exclusion settings I set up?

fact
NetIQ Security Solutions for iSeries

fact
PSSecure 8.0

fact
Inactive Session Monitor (ISM)

symptom
The "I" designation I set up for ending sessions with ISM ended all of our sessions and ignored the Exclusions I had established.

fix

ISM Timing entries made using F8 Maintain ISM Timing, from ISM Main Menu Option 6 Display/Change System Parameters supercedes exclusions set up via Menu Options 3 Display/Change Workstation Exclusions and 4 Display/Change User Profile Exclusions.  For example, if the 'I' timing option is established using F8 via Option 6, all sessions in the subsystems being monitored will end, regardless of any Exclusions that have been set up. 

If you wish to end some sessions immediately but not all, do not use the F8 timing feature from menu Option 6.
