Configuring Mainframe or iSeries display sessions - Profile mode
1. Launch a BlueZone Mainframe or iSeries display session from Session Manager or from the desktop icon.
A dialog displays prompting you for a profile name.
Note
If this is the first time you are launching a BlueZone session, the following dialog does not display. Instead, a BlueZone session launches and the Define New Connection dialog automatically displays.
2. In the File name field, type in the desired name and click Save. BlueZone automatically assigns the correct file extension for the session type.
3. A message box appears asking you if you want to create the file. Click Yes.
4. When the session launches, you are automatically taken to the Define New Connection dialog.
5. Type your host's information.
The Connection Name can be any name. 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.
6. Click OK twice.
You return to the BlueZone Display Emulation screen.
7. From the BlueZone Mainframe Display menu bar, click Session Connect.
You are now connected to your host. Ready appears on the BlueZone status bar.
Additional configuration
You can also control the behavior of the host session you just created. For example, you can control many aspects of the host session like auto-connecting and prompting on disconnect.
1. From the BlueZone Mainframe Display menu bar, click Session Configure.
The Session Configuration dialog opens.
2. 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, refer to the BlueZone Display and Printer Help.
