Using the terminal autoinstall control program for bridge facilities
If you specify AIBRIDGE (YES), then the autoinstall control program is called when a bridge facility is allocated or deleted.
The autoinstall control program is passed a parameter list ( the communications area) described in The communications area at INSTALL for bridge facility virtual terminals and The communications area at DELETE for bridge facility virtual terminals. This indicates whether the program was called for a Link3270 or a START bridge facility.
- Names can be defined by the client program and passed on the initial Link3270 request. The autoinstall control program can then allow, change or reject these names.
- Names can be defined by the autoinstall control program
The names suggested by the client program are passed in the communications area. The autoinstall control program can also use EXEC CICS ASSIGN USERID to obtain the USERID and use this to validate the suggested TERMID and NETNAME.
The client defined TERMID and NETNAME fields can also be used to pass some installation specific data to the autoinstall control program, to be used to generate the required names.
