Defining terminal session parameters


Use the following procedure to define terminal session target system and primary product application defaults, and unique terminal session user profiles.

Tip

This task is optional for the following products and does not apply to other products:

  • BMC AMI Ops Automation
  • BMC AMI Ops Monitor for CICS
  • BMC AMI Ops Monitor for Db2
  • BMC AMI Ops Monitor for DBCTL
  • BMC AMI Ops Monitor for IMS Offline
  • BMC AMI Ops Monitor for IMS Online
  • BMC AMI Ops Monitor for MQ

Important

The applicable products use the parameters in BBPROF members BBITSP00 and xxxxPFK when the terminal session initializes. Instead of manually customizing BBITSP00, you can use Option 0 from the Selection Menu to set up terminal session parameters. Using Option 0, you can also select the terminal session options for all of your other BMC AMI Ops products.

Use member BBITSP00 to set up your terminal session user profiles, target system, and primary product application.

To set up your terminal session user profiles, target system, and primary product application

  1. Create the following user profile:userid.BBPROF

    userid is the user's TSO logon ID. The user profile can be concatenated in front of the site's common BBPROF data set.

    Each user should have his or her own BBPROF data sets in order to specify:

    • Unique PF keys
    • CYCLE commands
    • Target system defaults
    • A Primary Option Menu
    • A unique set of application profiles
    • User graph members (BMC AMI Ops Monitor for CICS)

      When you create a user profile, the BMC AMI Ops CLIST creates a user BBPROF automatically with a PROFILE(YES) statement. If PROFILE(NO) is specified, the BBPROF data set is shared.

    Tip

    You can also create a site-specific profile called SBBPROF. If you use a common BBPROF data set, profile members for product applications are updated automatically by the last person who used that application.

  2. In BBPROF member BBITSP00, specify the following terminal session parameters:TARGET=tgtname,TYPE=appltype[,PRIMMENU=pnlname]

    PRIMAPPL=appltype

    ISPF=YES | NO

    [BBIRESP=LOCAL]

    [IMSRESP=LOCAL]


    Parameter

    Description

    TARGET

    Specify a one- to eight-character target name as follows:

    • CICS target (BMC AMI Ops Monitor for CICS)
    • CICS target Db2 target (BMC AMI Ops Monitor for Db2)
    • IMS or Db2 target (BMC AMI Ops Monitor for IMS Online or BMC AMI Ops Monitor for DBCTL)
    • IMS, CICS, or MVS target (BMC AMI Ops Automation)

    TYPE

    Specify the product that is related to the target specified in the TARGET parameter as follows:

    • AO (BMC AMI Ops Automation)
    • CICS (BMC AMI Ops Monitor for CICS)
    • DB2 (BMC AMI Ops Monitor for Db2)
    • IMS (BMC AMI Ops Monitor for IMS Online or BMC AMI Ops Monitor for DBCTL)

    PRIMAPPL

    Specify the primary application to be displayed when the terminal session starts as follows:

    • AO (BMC AMI Ops Automation)
    • CICS (BMC AMI Ops Monitor for CICS)
    • IMS (BMC AMI Ops Monitor for IMS Online or BMC AMI Ops Monitor for DBCTL)
    • DB2 (BMC AMI Ops Monitor for Db2)
    • NONE (Primary Option Menu)

    To display the same Primary Option Menu for multiple targets, list the TARGET statements followed by the PRIMAPPL statement; for example:

    TARGET=DETROIT,TYPE=AO
    TARGET=IMS22X,TYPE=IMS
    TARGET=DB2P,TYPE=DB2
    PRIMAPPL=DB2

    Important

    If PRIMAPPL is not specified, the Primary Option Menu lists all available products when the terminal session starts.

    PRIMMENU

    By default, a Primary Option Menu is selected for the product or combination of products that you have installed for a particular target. If you have performance management products and the BMC AMI Ops Automation option for IMS or CICS installed, the default menu shows that option and the performance management products. If you want to limit access to BMC AMI Ops Automation, PRIMMENU can be specified as follows:

    TARGET=IMS22K,TYPE=IMS,PRIMMENU=IMS@MVMR
    TARGET=CICSA1,TYPE=CICS,PRIMMENU=CICS@MR

    The default for PRIMMENU is determined by the products that are installed. The values for PRIMMENU can be as follows:

    IMS@MVA

    (BMC AMI Ops Monitor for IMS Online, BMC AMI Ops Monitor for DBCTL, and BMC AMI Ops Automation for IMS only) The Primary Option Menu for the BMC AMI Ops Monitor for IMS Online performance management products and BMC AMI Ops Automation for IMS (if installed).

    IMS@MVMR

    (BMC AMI Ops Monitor for IMS Online and BMC AMI Ops Monitor for DBCTL only) The Primary Option Menu for the performance management components (Resource Analyzer, Resource Monitor, Workload Analyzer, and Workload Monitor).

    DB2@MVMR

    (BMC AMI Ops Monitor for Db2 only) The Primary Option Menu for all of the BMC AMI Ops Monitor for Db2 product services.

    DB2@RXnn

    (BMC AMI Ops Monitor for Db2 only) The Primary Option Menu for all of the BMC AMI Ops Monitor for Db2 product services, including an option to access RxD2, where nn represents the BMC AMI Ops Monitor for Db2 release number.

    CICS@MVA

    (BMC AMI Ops Monitor for CICS and BMC AMI Ops Automation for CICS only) The Primary Option Menu for the BMC AMI Ops Monitor for CICS performance management services and BMC AMI Ops Automation for CICS (if installed).

    CICS@MR

    (BMC AMI Ops Monitor for CICS only) The Primary Option Menu for the BMC AMI Ops Monitor for CICS performance management services.

    ISPF

    Indicate whether to initialize the product in an ISPF window (YES) or under TSO (NO). The default is YES.

    BBIRESP

    LOCAL returns responses to BBI control commands that are issued from a terminal session to your terminal session journal and BBI-SS PAS journal. If BBIRESP is not used, BBI control command responses are written to the BBI-SS PAS journal only.

    IMSRESP

    (BMC AMI Ops Automation for IMS only) LOCAL returns IMS command responses to your terminal session journal.

    Important

    If you see an error message advising you that BBPROF member BBICMDS should be at a more recent PTF level, check your data set concatenation.

    This message indicates that your BBPROF data set contains a BBICMDS member that is not compatible with the current terminal session version. BBICMDS should not be in any data set that is concatenated in front of the distributed BBPROF data set.
