Configuring 3270 Users and SessionsConfiguring 3270 Users and Sessions
To enable 3270 communications, you must define emulator users or groups of users as described in “Configuring 3270 Emulator Users”, and 3270 emulator sessions as described in “Configuring 3270 Sessions”.
Configuring 3270 Emulator Users
You must add emulator user definitions for each user who requires access to a 3270 emulator.
Adding an individual user gives access to only that user. Any sessions added to the user are available only for that user.
You can also add a group of users in a single operation. Adding a group of users gives access to all members of the group. Any sessions added to the group are available for all users in the group. This means that you do not have to define each user individually, reducing the time needed to configure users.
If there are several users with sessions using the same LUs or LU pools, you should first define one user and add all the session definitions. To add the other users, you can copy the first user definition.
Emulator user information can be accessed by the SNAplus2 3270 emulation program or by a Windows client running an emulation program that is compatible with Microsoft's SNA Server product.
To configure an emulator user or group, use one of the following methods:
Motif administration program
Select Emulator users and sessions from the Windows menu on the Node window, then choose one of the following options from the Selection menu:
•New user
•New user group
Issue the following command:
