Who manage an IBM AS400 server knows that some users use in a bad way the system request menu functions.
For example:
- they open an alternative session and after they forget it, so usually they lock some record for themselves
- they close the session in bad way with the “X” button … ops
If this happen only few times it isn’t a big problem, but for users that don’t understand the right way to use the system request menu you have to use drastic solutions: disable the system request menu.
You can make it simply using this following command:
GRTOBJAUT OBJ(QSYS/QGMNSYSR) OBJTYPE(*PNLGRP) USER(User_Name) AUT(*EXCLUDE)
where User_Name is the name of the user you want to disable.
When the user will try to use the system request menu will obtain the following messagge:
No authority to use system request functions.
… and your life will be more happy 😀
