Telnet 3270 Server Configuration: Application Routing
Use this panel to set the application access method when a client connects to a server.
When assigning applications, you must understand some characteristics of the clients connecting.
If the client is a terminal, then it is likely connecting to an application that provides full screen TN3270 support.
However, it may be connecting to a line mode application such as TSO. There are several ways of setting up
application access based on the characteristics of the client and the application.
- The default is to use the TN3270 server's solicitor panel, which is sent to the client to query which
application to connect to along with the logon id and password.
- Full screen TN3270 terminals clients:
- You may override the default by assigning an application and TN3270 server will connect the client
directly to the application.
- You may also override the default by assigning a USS table and the TN3270 server will send a USS MSG10 to the client.
- Linemode clients
- You may override the default by assigning an application for linemode clients and the TN3270 server will connect
the client directly to the application.
Before you begin, decide the application access method you want for a client connecting
to the TN3270 server.
Steps
-
Click Open an application, if you want to always use the same application.
The TN3270 server will connect the client directly with the application.
-
Click Display a USSMSG10 panel, if you have an existing USS (Unformatted
System Services) table. Specify the USS table name.
An assembled and linked USS table can be used directly by Telnet.
-
Click Display the Telnet Solicitor panel if you want the default. The client
will need to supply a user ID, password and application name.
- Enter a application name for line mode sessions if you want to override the default.
You have completed this panel if you have clicked a button to indicate a selection under either
3270 full screen mode sessions or line mode sessions.
