Launching Fusion 5250 in New Window

[rsnell]

When launching Fusion 5250 into its own browser window, is there any way to prevent the 5250 session from being closed out if you log out of Valence? Alternatively, is there a way to launch a Fusion 5250 session that is in a separate Valence session? Closing out Valence while 5250 sessions are active can cause problems with abnormal termination of 5250 applications (whether in a separate window or in the portal)

Thanks for the question. In the next 6.4 update, you'll be able to launch Fusion 5250 (or any Valence app) in a browser window that has its own Valence session, separate from the Portal's. Logging out of the Portal will no longer close that window or end its session, so the Fusion application keeps running.

To set it up, in Portal Admin ? Apps, edit the Fusion app:
- Start App In: Browser Window
- Optional Parameters: ownSession=true

A few things to know:
- Apps that open in a Portal tab or Portal popup window still end when the user logs out of the Portal. ownSession=true only applies to apps that open in a browser window.
- Each window opened this way counts as a separate Valence session.

Thanks for the update. That's very helpful.
