The Special menu in WindowViewer includes a set of commands to reinitialize all I/O conversations or select a specific I/O conversation.
You can reinitialize Access Names using the default settings of InTouch. Using default reinitialization, the Access Name ignores the current values assigned to node name, application name, and topic. The Access Name is reinitialized with the original Access Name settings.
