Logging on and off a VTAM terminal

A VTAM terminal is a terminal that is connected to your VTAM network. MainView Alternate Access can establish a VTAM session with your BMC Software product through a VTAM terminal when you issue either the LOGON command or the abbreviated logon command directly from the terminal. However, before MainView Alternate Access can support any logons from VTAM terminals, the VTAM application major node for MainView Alternate Access must be activated and the LAS must be started. The procedure for activating MainView Alternate Access and logging on through a VTAM terminal as shown below.

This section discusses how to:

• Activate the VTAM application major node (see Activating-the-VTAM-application-major-node)
• Start the LAS, control the LAS parameters, and stop the LAS (see Starting-and-stopping-the-logon-address-space-LAS)
• Use the LOGON command (see Using-the-LOGON-command)
• Use the abbreviated logon command (see Using-the-abbreviated-logon-command)
• Use the logon panels (see Using-the-logon-panels)
• Log off a VTAM session (see Logging-off)
