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 Logon Options—TSS Options

  1. Go to the Logon 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 4 in the Selection field and press Enter. The IMSID Options – Logon Options panel is displayed.
    4. From the IMSID Options – Logon Options panel, type 3 in the Selection field and press Enter. The Logon Options – TSS Options panel is displayed.
  2. Use the fields under the heading TSS table search order to activate the Logon TSS option and specify the type or types of TSS tables and search arguments you want to use. Leave the fields blank to deactivate the Logon TSS option and ETA performs no TSS table search.
    1. Perform one of the following actions:

       

      If you want to search...

      Then...

      Only a LOGONNOD TSS table by node name

      Type 1 in the Logon node name TSS table field and the table name in the associated name field. Record the table name for later use.

      Only a LOGONTYP TSS table by terminal type

      Type 1 in the Logon terminal type TSS table field and the table name in the associated name field.

      Only a LOGONTYP TSS table by MODETBL name

      Type 1 in the Logon MODETBL TSS table field and the table name in the associated name field.

      Two TSS tables (or one LOGONTYP TSS table by two argument types)

      Specify the order in which the tables should be searched and the TSS table name for each type of table. You can only search two of the three available TSS tables. You can specify the same TSS table name in the Logon terminal type TSS table and Logon MODETBL TSS table fields.

    2. If you have not yet created one or more of the TSS tables, record the TSS table name(s) for later use in creating the table(s).

      Warning

      Note

      The action ETA takes after the search depends on options you select in the Table 1 processing options and the Table 2 processing options fields.

  3. Use the fields under the heading Table 1 processing options to specify the type of processing that should occur when searches of the first or only TSS table succeed and when searches fail.
    1. Specify the type of processing that should occur when a match is found during a search of the first TSS table.

       

      If you are using...

      And you want to...

      Then type...

      One TSS table

      Use the data

      1 in the first selection field

      Two TSS tables

      Use the data and ignore the second table

      1 in the first selection field

      Save the data and search the second TSS table

      2 in the first selection field

    2.  Specify the type of processing that should occur when a TSS search of the first table fails.

       

      If you are using...

      And you want to...

      Then type...

      One TSS table

      Allow logon processing using the ETA defaults you have specified

      1 in the second selection field

      Reject the logon

      2 in the second selection field

      Two TSS tables

      Search the second TSS table

      1 in the second selection field

      Reject the logon

      2 in the second selection field

    3. Perform one of the following actions:

       

      If you are using...

      Then...

      One TSS table

      Press F3 three times to return to the ETA Main Menu.

      Two TSS tables

      Go to Step 4.

  4. Use the fields under the heading Table 2 processing options to specify the type of processing that TSS should perform when searches of the second TSS table succeed and when searches fail.
    1. Specify the type of processing that should occur when a match is found in the second TSS table.

       

      If...

      And you want to...

      Then type...

      Only the second search succeeds

      Use the data

      1 in the first selection field and 2 in the table field

      Both searches succeed

      Use the data from the first table only

      1 in the first selection field and 1 in the table field

      Use the data from the second table only

      1 in the first selection field and 2 in the table field

      Merge data from both tables

      2 in the first selection field and use the table fields to specify which table supersedes the other

    2. Specify the type of processing that should occur when a TSS search of the second table fails.

       

      If...

      And you want to...

      Then type...

      The first search succeeded

      Use the data from the first table

      1 in the second selection field.

    3. Press Enter.
  5. Press F3 three times to return to the ETA Main Menu.
  6. 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 logon options

See Utilities-for-Translate-Subsystem-Services-Feature for information and instructions on creating the tables. Use the table names you recorded in Step 3.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 an ETA Logon exit provide customization information, the TSS table or exit must exist before you perform the refresh.
