IBM Mainframe or iSeries

Configuring a Display Session - Profile Mode

  1. Launch a BlueZone Mainframe or iSeries display session from within the Session Manager or from the desktop icon.  A dialog will be displayed prompting you for a profile name as shown:

  1. In the File name: editbox, type in the desired name and click the Save button.  BlueZone will automatically assign the correct file extension for the session type.

  2. A message box will be displayed asking you if you want to create the file.  Click the Yes button.

  3. When the session launches, you will automatically be taken to the Define New Connection dialog as shown:

  1. Enter your host's information here.  The Connection Name can be any name you wish.  The Host Address can be an IP Address or a DNS Name.  LU Name is optional.  The key fields are Host Address and TCP Port.

  1. Click the OK button two times until you come back to the BlueZone Display Emulation Screen.

  2. From the BlueZone Mainframe Display MenuBar, select Session:Connect.

  1. You should now be connected to your host.  Note the word "Ready" on the BlueZone StatusBar.

Additional Configuration

You can also control the behavior of the host session you just created.  By this we mean you can control many aspects of the host session like auto-connecting and prompting on disconnect.

  1. From the BlueZone Mainframe Display MenuBar, select Session:Configure.  The Session Configuration dialog will be displayed as shown here:

  1. From this dialog you can choose to Auto-Connect Session, Auto-Reconnect Session, if the session was deactivated by the host, Prompt on Disconnect, Auto-Close Session on Disconnect and Connect Retry.

There are additional configuration options that can be configured in this dialog.  For additional information on Session Configuration, please see BlueZone Display & Printer Help.
