If a user is connected to a UTM application via a multiplex connection, each of the two partners – the UTM application or the user – can request the closedown of this session. As a result of this request, the session switches to the state ”DISCONNECT PENDING”. The session is not yet released. The session is not definitively closed until the partner on the other side confirms the session closedown.
For a specific length of time (approx. 10 minutes) after the request for session closedown has been issued, the session can be released by the closedown confirmation of the partner.Only after this time span has expired can the administrator of the UTM application also release the session (administration command KDCPTERM).
From the output of the administration commands KDCINF PTERM and KDCPTERM, the administrator of the UTM application can determine whether the session is in the state ”DISCONNECT PENDING”. See also the openUTM manual “Administering Applications”.
