Planning for ETO
Migrating a static-terminal environment to an ETO environment requires planning.
Although you can continue to define VTAM® terminals and LTERMs to IMS during system definition, if you do so:
- You cannot take advantage of the ETO features that exist for those terminals.
- You must fully define the terminal. You must supply all TERMINAL macros, NAME macros, and parameters, or use type-2 CREATE commands to supply the information.
ETO terminals must be VTAM terminals.
Restrictions: The following VTAM terminals cannot be ETO terminals:
- IMS master terminal (MTO)
- IMS secondary master terminal
- MSC physical and logical links
- ISC sessions that are used by XRF for surveillance
- LU 6.2 terminals (dynamically created and managed by APPC/IMS)
