Modes of Operation |
Chapter 3 |
Profile Mode is the default mode for BlueZone Desktop and BlueZone Web to Host. Profile Mode means that all BlueZone settings are stored in a file called the Session Profile (configuration file). Double clicking on a Session Profile in Windows Explorer or double clicking a BlueZone Session icon in BlueZone Session Manager launches the associated BlueZone Session and loads the settings saved in that Session Profile.
Starting New BlueZone Sessions - When starting new BlueZone sessions without specifying a Session Profile (using Session Manager or /F switch) the user is prompted to select an existing Session profile or create a new one.
Saving in Profile Mode -The configuration file, used to launch the session, displays on the session TitleBar. File:Save saves any changes made to the session to the Session Profile. File:Save As prompts the user to create a new file which will save all the current settings in the emulator.
BlueZone can automatically create a backup of the Session Profile each time a Save is performed. When this feature is enabled, the last version of a Session Profile will have the words "Backup of" pre-pended to the file name.
Example: "Test.zmd" will become "Backup of Test.zmd"
IMPORTANT! If
multiple sessions are open using the same Session Profile, the last session
to perform a Save, overwrites
any settings saved from previously saved sessions.
This feature can be turned on by enabling the "Auto-Backup settings in Profile Mode" checkbox, which is located on the Options Tab in File Properties.
Opening Session Profiles in Profile Mode - Performing a File:Open in a BlueZone session loads the settings from the selected Session Profile into the session. The Session Profile name will display on the BlueZone TitleBar.
Cloning Sessions in Profile Mode - To clone the current session, select File:Open Session:"Same Session Type" and BlueZone will launch a new session window using the Session Profile from the current session. Using the Open Session ToolBar button is a convenient way to clone sessions.
NOTE If
you want to prevent End Users from opening more than one session from
a particular profile, you can prevent this from happening by making a
change to the SETUP.INI file.

Opening Different Session Types - File:Open Session:"Different Session Type" prompts the user to select a Session Profile for the new session.
Auto Launching Sessions using File:Properties:AutoLaunch - The user can automatically launch up to four additional sessions by checking the checkbox and selecting the session type to launch. The Session Profile to use when launching each session must be specified in the "Switches" edit box using the /F command line switch. For example, /Fmysession.zmd.
CAUTION! Failure
to specify a Session Profile will result in an un-configured session launching.
Launching BlueZone FTP from a BlueZone Display Session - BlueZone FTP sessions can be launched from a BlueZone Display emulator session using Transfer:FTP. The first time a FTP session is launched, the user is prompted to select a FTP Session Profile. Upon subsequent launches, BlueZone FTP will load the previously selected Session Profile.
Launching a pre-configured BlueZone FTP session - If you would prefer to launch a pre-configured BlueZone FTP session, create a BlueZone FTP profile with the same name as the display session profile you wish to launch it from. For example, if you want to launch BlueZone FTP from a mainframe display session, and the name of the profile used to launch the mainframe session is MAINFRAME.ZMD, then create a BlueZone FTP profile called MAINFRAME.ZFT.
