How to Make Changes to BlueZone's Default Configuration

Default Configuration - Click here to learn more about this feature

BlueZone Web-to-Host ships with several "default" configuration files called Profiles.  These Profiles are used by the Web-to-Host Wizard as a basis for the configuration of each BlueZone emulation client.  BlueZone Profiles contain information on all aspects of how the various BlueZone emulation clients look and behave.  Think of the default Profiles as your "Master Configuration" Profiles.

The Web-to-Host Wizard can be used to configure several of BlueZone's key features like the Host IP address and TCP port.  However, there are many more BlueZone features that can be changed and saved in the BlueZone Profile.

For example, features like keyboard mapping, screen color scheme, font selection, font size and color, the physical size of the emulator, the emulator's position on the screen, ToolBar set up, as well as many others are saved in the BlueZone Profile.

There is one BlueZone Profile for each of the BlueZone emulation clients.  The following table lists the BlueZone emulation clients and their respective "default" Profile name.

Emulation Client

Profile Name

Mainframe Display

default.zmd

Mainframe Printer

default.zmp

iSeries Display

default.zad

iSeries Printer

default.zap

BlueZone VT

default.zvt

BlueZone FTP

default.zft

 

Not all of BlueZone's configurable features can be configured using the Web-to-Host Wizard.  For example, if you want to enable SSL or change BlueZone's keyboard map, you will have to make these changes to BlueZone's default configuration also know as the BlueZone Profile.

Procedure

  1. From a Windows workstation, launch your Internet browser.

NOTE  If you have BlueZone Web-to-Host installed on a Microsoft web server.  You may want to perform this task directly on the server or while you are connected to the server via a terminal services session.

  3. Once it has launched, go ahead and make your desired changes.

  4. When you are finished, choose File:Save from the BlueZone MenuBar.  This will save your changes to the default Profile for this emulation client.

BlueZone Profiles are saved to your BlueZone Working Directory which by default is created in your Windows Personal Folder in a folder called BlueZone/config/.
