# tibemsSession_Close

Function

## Purpose

Close a session; reclaim resources.

## C Declaration

    tibems_status tibemsSession_Close(
        tibemsSession session );

## COBOL Call

    CALL "tibemsSession_Close"
         USING BY VALUE session,
               RETURNING tibems-status
    END-CALL.

Note: `session` has usage pointer.

## Remarks

Closing a session automatically closes its consumers (except for durable subscribers), producers and browsers.

## Blocking

If any message listener or receive call associated with the session is processing a message when the program calls this function, all facilities of the connection and its sessions remain available to those listeners until they return. In the meantime, this function blocks until that processing completes—that is, until all message listeners and receive calls have returned.

## Transactions

Closing a session rolls back the open transaction in the session.
