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.

To Specify Autosignon Options—TSS Options

  1. Go to the Autosignon 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.
    2. From the IMSID/Group Options Entry panel, type 1 in the Selection field with the IMSID specified in the IMSID or Group field and press Enter. The Edit IMSID Options panel is displayed.
    3. From the Edit IMSID Options panel, type 6 in the Selection field and press Enter. The IMSID Options - Autosignon Options panel is displayed.
    4. From the IMSID Options - Autosignon Options panel, type 3 in the Selection field and press Enter. The Autosignon Options - TSS Options panel is displayed.
  2. Use the fields under the heading TSS argument option to activate the Autosignon TSS option and specify how many TSS tables ETA should search to find Autosignon options. Leave the fields blank to deactivate the Autosignon TSS option and ETA performs no TSS table search.

    1. Perform one of the following actions:

       

      If you want ETA to search the Autosignon TSS table by...

      Then type...

      Node name

      1 in the selection field

      User ID if one is available or search by node name if the user ID is not available

      2 in the selection field

      Warning

      Note

      These searches are mutually exclusive. ETA will never search both tables, unless you use an ETA Autosignon exit.

    2. Specify the TSS table name(s).If you chose option 1 in the previous step (search by node name only), specify only the name of a node name TSS table. If you chose option 2, specify both a node name and a user ID TSS table. You can specify the same table name if one table contains information for both types of argument.

    3. Specify the action ETA should take if a TSS translate fails. Perform one of the following actions under the heading Table processing:

       

      If you want ETA to...

      Then type...

      Require signon

      1 in the Table processing selection field and press F3.

      Continue Autosignon using ETA Autosignon Defaults

      2 in the Table processing selection field and press F3.

      Warning

      Note

      If the TSS table search succeeds, processing will occur using the options specified in the TSS table.

  3. Press F3 four times to return to the ETA Main Menu.
  4. Repeat this task for other IMSIDs as required.

Where to go from here

Perform any of the following actions:

 

If you want to...

Then...

Create TSS tables that specify Autosignon options

SeeUtilities-for-Translate-Subsystem-Services-Feature for instructions. Use the TSS table names you specified in Step 2.b.

Specify default options that will be used if a TSS table search fails

Implement your customizations

Refresh the IMSID options or TSS table data in the IMS control region. See Refreshing-IMSID-Options-TSS-Tables-and-CPU-IDs for instructions.

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