Specifying terminal sign-on capability
Sign-on capability is one of the attributes that can be specified for extended terminals.
A request to change sign-on capability is effective only for z/OS® CICS® servers.
For other server types and for basic terminals, sign-on capability
depends on the default for the CICS server
type. The sign-on capability of a terminal is returned to the user
application in the sign-on capability field of the terminal details.
The following table shows the results of a request to override the
default sign-on capability for different CICS servers.
| Request | Resulting sign-on capability of terminal | Value of sign-on capability in terminal details | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CICS Transaction Server for z/OS | CICS Transaction Server for iSeries | TXSeries® and CICS Transaction Server for Windows | CICS Transaction Server for z/OS | CICS Transaction Server for iSeries | TXSeries and CICS Transaction Server for Windows | |
