An SMCS console can be a real 3270 type device, but usually it
will be a 3270 emulator such as IBM® Personal
Communications. SMCS supports VTAM® LU
Type 0 or Type 2, and SMCS consoles must support Extended Data Stream
and the Read Partition Query function.
Installing SMCS consoles requires some VTAM Definitions:
- Define the SMCS application.
- Create a LOGON mode table (optional).
- Indicate that certain LUs are always to be used for SMCS (optional).
CONSOLxx also requires some changes:
- Specify that the SMCS application is to be started.
- Define some SMCS consoles.
Finally, RACF® requires some
definitions:
- Userids for operators.
- Command authority.
