BlueZone has the capability to generate LU names internally,
based on the workstation name. This allows the BlueZone administrator
to send a single configuration for BlueZone to the end users and have
them automatically request an LU name that contains the first seven
characters of their workstation name plus a D for display sessions
or P printer sessions then append the session number. BlueZone is
configured to create the names based on %1, %2, and %3 values entered
in the LU Name field.
- Substitution text values
- %1 - Uses the first seven characters of the computer name
as the base device name.
- %2 - Appends a D for display sessions or P for printer
sessions.
- %3 - Appends the BlueZone session identifier. Session
S1 appends 00, Session S2 appends 01 and so on.
Examples
- Display session using the computer name as the base name
- For a computer with computer name WS1234.
An LU Name of %1%2%3
results in WS1234D00 being sent to the mainframe for Session S1.
WS1234D01 is sent for Session S2.
- Display session using a standard base name
- Using a base name of GROUP1.
An LU Name of GROUP1%2%3 results
in GROUP1D00 being sent to the mainframe for Session S1. GROUP1D01
is sent for Session S2.
- Printer session using the computer name as the base name
- For a computer with computer name WS1234.
An LU Name of %1%2%3
results in WS1234P00 being sent to the mainframe for Session P1.
WS1234P01 is sent for printer Session P2.
- Printer using a standard base name
- Using a base name of GROUP1.
An LU Name of GROUP1%2%3 results
in GROUP1P00 being sent to the mainframe for printer Session P1. GROUP1P01
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 number of the display session to associate the printer
with, the host automatically assigns the appropriate printer LU Name
during the TN3270E negotiation.
Note: If the associated display session
disconnects, the associated printer also disconnects to prevent another
user's print job from appearing on the wrong system.
