Setting TSS IMSID options

If you plan to use the ETA Translate Sub-system (TSS) feature, you must specify TSS information.

To specify TSS information for ETA, perform the following steps:

  1. Invoke the online interface through the modified ISPF/PDF Primary Option Menu that you created in Accessing-ETA-from-an-ISPF-options-menu or through the CLIST that you created in Accessing-ETA-from-a-CLIST.The Main Menu is displayed.
  2. Type 5 in the selection field and press Enter.The IMSID/Group Options Entry panel is displayed.
  3. Type 1 in the selection field.
  4. Type the data set name of the library in which the ETA IMSID options module (ETA#iiii, where iiii is the IMSID) resides in the Options library field.

  5. (optional) If your installation stores ETA IMSID/Group options modules in separate libraries that are used by ISPF, the control region, or BMCXLINK, type the data set name of the additional library in which to store the IMSID options modules in the Save library 1 field. If ISPF, IMS, and BMCXLINK use the same library, this field is optional.

    Note

    If you use several load libraries, remember that it is possible to have a copy of a module in more than one library. IMS will use the first module that it finds, regardless of whether that module is the most current one available.

    Press Enter.

    The Edit IMSID Options – List panel is displayed, allowing you to select an IMSID.

  6. Type S next to the IMSID that you want to customize or access and press Enter.The Edit IMSID Options panel is displayed.

  7. Type 2 in the selection field and press Enter.The IMSID Options – TSS Options panel is displayed.

    The following fields are available on the IMSID Options – TSS Options panel:

    IMSID

    The IMSID of the options module that you selected.

    This is not an editable field.

    TSS table data set name

    The name of the TSS data set.

    Note

    The TSS data set must already be allocated. For information about allocating the TSS data set, see the EXTENDED TERMINAL ASSIST PLUS User Guide.

    Number of cache buffers

    The number of TSS cache buffers that ETA will allocate for TSS use.

    Note

    For best performance, the number of buffers should equal the sum of the number of index and table blocks plus one buffer for the control record. Table blocks can be obtained from the Table Select panel (ETMATS), and index blocks can be obtained from TSS option 13, Status of TSS data set.

    RCNT TSS table name

    The name of a TSS table that contains MSNAME information for the creation of dynamic remote LTERMs.

    Assume ALLROWS keyword on /DIS TSSTABLE command

    A / indicates that the ALLROWS keyword will be assumed on the /DIS TSSTABLE command.

    To prevent the /DIS TSSTABLE command from automatically displaying a list of all rows in the specified TSS table, do not select this option. When this option is deactivated, users must issue the /DIS TSSTABLE tablename ALLROWS command to display a list of all rows in the specified TSS table.

    If you have large TSS tables and do not want users to fill message queues and consume system resources by accidentally displaying all rows in the TSS tables, BMC recommends that you do not select this option.

  8. Edit the fields as necessary.
  9. Save the changes to the TSS information.
