Documentation

Definition

The terminal ID is the number of the terminal in the list of all the clients logged on to the dispatcher. The session number corresponds to the current external session.

Use

This information is used to determine RFC dependencies in the analysis of RFC connections.

The combination TID/session determines the context belonging to a conversation ID either as a client or as a server. The TID/session combination enables you to determine which RFCs are still coming from this context (client).

The TID/session information on the server side is used to check this also appears again as a client, and hence is part of an RFC chain that is accessible iteratively.
