session lookup

Does anyone know if there is a way to look up an entry in the persistence table without resetting the persistence timer value associated with that record?

 

 

I have been developing a solution to keep track of connections using the UIE table - this allows for automatic timeouts when the sessions finish. The problem is - we have no way to count the number of entries in this table, and whats worse, every time we cycle through the table (to see if the entries are still there), we reset all the timer values so they never timout!!!

 

 

help!

    The session command has a "lookup" option:

    
session lookup uie

    /deb

    Deb,

     

     

    Thanks for the quick reply - i have been tring this, but have notcied that by doing a "session lookup uie" and watching the persistence table at the same time (b persist mode universal show all), the timeout value gets reset. I guess this is correct behaviour from a persistence perspective, but is not desireable if one wants to use the persistence table to store information....
