Logout action flow

For an initial-action template that brings the host computer application to the accounting package menu, and an action template that brings the host computer application from the Application Menu Screen to the Customer Information Screen, then the logout-action template brings the host computer application back to the Login Screen.

The logout-action template locates the screen where the transaction failed. If for example, the transaction failed at the account number screen, the logout-action template locates the screen template with the appropriate validation tag and starts from that screen.

Entering a hyphen for the logout-actionentry indicates that no logout-action template is specified. If neither a reset-action template nor a logout-action template is specified and the transaction fails, the host computer application remains at the point where the transaction failed. Future transactions that try to use this session would also experience errors because the screen where the session remained would not be the expected starting screen (unless the transaction can start from any screen).

When you create a logout-action template, do not specify reset-action or logout-action templates. Figure 2-8 shows a sample logout-action template.
