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

- 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.
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.

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.
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).

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 | See Specifying Logon Options—ETA Defaults and Specifying Logon Options—Terminal Type for instructions. |
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. |
