Updating Your Signon Defaults

You can use the CICS® IUI Signon Defaults (SD) menu option to type your signon defaults, which are stored as part of your user profile and used for subsequent CICS IUI access. The administrator can also assign your user profile information. If you are authorized for auto-signon, you can bypass the IBM® Connect:Direct® for z/OS® SIGNON screen by providing signon defaults.

Note: User profile information is keyed by CICS userid.

Use the SIGNON DEFAULTS screen to update your IBM Connect:Direct password, default node, ESF mode allowance, uppercase printing, CICS session printer, and sending and receiving node accounting information.

  1. To access the SIGNON DEFAULTS screen, select option SD on the PRIMARY MENU and press Enter. Following is an example.
