Application Assignment Type

Use this panel to set the application access method for clients that match this client identifier.

When assigning applications, you must understand some characteristics of the connecting clients. The client may be a terminal or a printer. If the client is a terminal, then it is likely connecting in to an application that provides full screen TN3270 support. However, it may be connecting to a line mode application such as TSO. If the client is a printer, then it is likely that the application will initiate the session to the client and no additional application access needs to be defined. There are several ways of setting up application access based on the characteristics of the client and the application.

Before you begin, decide which of the 4 types of applications you want to assign (for printers, for terminal-full screen mode sessions, for a USS table, or line mode sessions).

Steps

  1. Click on the particular assignment you want to make.
  2. Enter the name in the field provided, ensuring the name follows standard naming conventions.
  3. Click OK to indicate you are done.
