Setting and Clearing Ownership
The Set and Clear Owner function allows a terminal to “own” one or more
processor files on the network. Ownership means that as long as the owner is active
on the network, other terminals can not access the online functions of the owned
processor files. Note that only a programmer can own another node.
When the owner becomes inactive (exits the network), another terminal can clear
the ownership of the inactive node and gain access to an owned processor file.
However, to do so, the user of that terminal must first select the Clear Owner
function. An owner can clear ownership at any time.
You can set ownership from the Who Active display. The following figure is the
Who Active offline display, showing the active stations of a network having
terminals at nodes 0 and 1.
