Logging on

Edit online

You log on to the enhanced 3270 user interface by using its Applid (for example, LOGON APPLID(OMEGUI), and then enter your user ID and password at the logon panel. Typically, this ID is the TSO user ID. Your site might also require a group name and password. The interface also supports a password phrase (passphrase) of 9 or more characters, up to the available screen width.

Before you begin

The enhanced 3270 user interface address space, the OMEGAMON monitoring agents for which you want data, and the hub Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server from which you will be requesting data, must be started before you log on to the interface. If security is configured for the interface, you need a user ID. The user ID must be defined to the system authorization facility (SAF) and can be different from the ID used to log on to the Tivoli Enterprise Portal interface.

About this task

To log on, use the following procedure.

Procedure

  1. Start a new VTAM 3270 session.
  2. At the VTAM logon panel, enter the following command, where applid is the VTAM Applid that is assigned to the enhanced 3270 user interface address space:
    LOGON APPLID(applid)
    The enhanced 3270 user interface logon panel is displayed:
    Log on screen with fields for user ID, password, group, and new password.
  3. Enter your user ID and password (typically, this ID is one of your TSO IDs). Mixed-case IDs are supported. The interface also supports password phrases up to the available width of the screen. Your site can also require a group name and password.
  4. Press Enter.
    The initial workspace is displayed. By default, you see an overview workspace for all installed products that support the user interface (KOBSTART). However, a different initial workspace might be specified in your site or user profile. If a hub monitoring server is not specified in your profile, the Hub Connectivity Administration workspace is displayed. For more information, see Logon administration and customization.
