BlueZone has the capability to generate LU names internally based on the workstation name. This allows the administrator to send a single configuration for BlueZone or to the users and have them automatically request an LU name that contains the first six characters of their workstation name plus a D for display sessions or P printer sessions then append the session number. BlueZone and are configured to create the names based on %1, %2, and %3 values entered in the LU Name edit box.
%1 uses the first six characters of the computer name as the base device name. The %1 may be replaced with six characters to be used as a common base device name to which the following parameter are appended.
%2 appends a D for display sessions or P for printer sessions.
%3 appends the BlueZone session identifier. Session S1 appends 01, Session S2 appends 02 etc.
For a computer with and computer name WS1234.
An LU Name of %1%2%3 results in WS1234D01 being sent to the mainframe for Session S1. WS1234D02 is sent for Session S2.
Using a base name GROUP1.
An LU Name of GROUP1%2%3 results in GROUP1D01 being sent to the mainframe for Session S1. GROUP1D02 is sent for Session S2.
For a computer with and computer name WS1234.
An LU Name of %1%2%3 results in WS1234P01 being sent to the mainframe for Session P1. WS1234P02 is sent for printer Session P2.
Using a base name GROUP1.
An LU Name of GROUP1%2%3 results in GROUP1P01 being sent to the mainframe for printer Session P1. GROUP1P02 is sent for printer Session P2.
Printer Association provides an automated means to match display LUs with printer LUs. By enabling Printer Association and selecting the display session to associate the printer with, the host automatically assigns the appropriate printer LU Name during the TN3270E negotiation.
If the associated display session disconnects, the associated printer will also disconnect to prevent another user's print job from appearing on the wrong system.
