Before you begin

A user access profile must give you authority to specify or change data for the appropriate IMSIDs. Contact your ETA system administrator.

Warning

Important

If you intend to use unsolicited output/printer options, you must provide IMS with information similar to the signon information. For example, if signon processing creates a different LTERM, the UNSOLOUT process must do the same. This ensures the correct user name is built when the user structure and queue are built.

Additionally, If you specify ASOT and Logoff at Autosignoff values through the Unsolicited Output TSS table processing option, these values will not be overridden by subsequent processes.

  1. Go to the Unsolicited Output Options – TSS Options panel.
    1. From the ETA Main Menu, type 5 in the Selection field and press Enter. The IMSID/Group Options Entry panel is displayed.

Where to go from here

Perform any of the following actions:


If you want to...

Then...

Create a TSS table that specifies unsolicited output options (TRANSACT or UNSOLOUT table) and/or information for the creation of LTERMs and dynamic printers

Create an ETA unsolicited output exit

Make an ETA unsolicited output exit available to an IMS control region

For instructions, see Loading-and-reloading-exits.

Implement your customizations

Refresh the IMSID options or TSS table data in the IMS control region. For instructions, see Refreshing-IMSID-options-TSS-tables-and-CPU-IDs.

If you have specified that a TSS table or ETA unsolicited output exit provide customization information, the TSS table or exit must exist before you perform the refresh.
