Setting virtual terminal signon bypass options

This section describes the steps for setting options that are related to the method for obtaining an LTERM when signon is not required for a specific IMS.

From the Edit IMSID Options panel, type 6 in the selection field and press Enter.

The IMSID Options – VT Signon Bypass Options panel is displayed.

The following fields are available on this panel:

IMSID

The IMSID of the options module that you selected.

This is not an editable field.

Method

The LTERM name selection method for virtual terminals that are not required to perform an IMS signon.

Note

If some users are required to sign on and others are not, enter the following information in the signon bypass TSS table for each user who is not required to sign on:

  • The node name
  • The associated LTERM

The remainder of the nodes will fail the table search and will be required to sign on.

Default

Indicates that the node name will be used as the LTERM name.

TSS

Indicates that Translate Subsystem Services (TSS) will translate the node name to an LTERM name.

You can use TSS to translate the derived LTERM name into a virtual terminal Timer facility override value.

This option uses the same logic as the Signon Bypass Exit sample routine that is distributed in exit VTFEXBXX.

User exit

Indicates that a signon-bypass exit routine in module VTFEXITn will be called. This exit routine is responsible for providing an LTERM name, and a virtual terminal Timer facility override value.

For more information about the requirements for this exit, see the DELTA PLUS User Guide.

 

Note

The sample exit uses the TSS table names that are specified in the Node to LTERM TSS table name and LTERM timer override TSS table name fields.

Node to LTERM TSS table nameThe name of the TSS table that is used to derive the LTERM name when using the Signon Bypass Exit routine.

A suggested table name is NLTERM.

LTERM timer override TSS table name

The name of the TSS table that is used to derive a virtual terminal Timer facility override value.

A suggested table name is LTERMOR.

  1. Edit the fields as necessary.
  2. Save the changes to the virtual terminal signon bypass options.
