Setting global signon options

IMS signon panel and signon status panel options must be specified at the global options level. Specific terminal names can have these options overridden by specifying an entry in the SLU2/3270 table.

If a global option is set to a value that is not supported by either the SLU1 console or the SLUP/3600/FINANCE devices, and there is not a matching device default or LUNAME table entry, IMS ETO Support uses a default value.

For example, if the global option is set to AUTO SIGNON and there is not a device default or matching LUNAME entry, IMS ETO Support uses a default processing option for the LOGON PROCESS. The following list shows the global options that are invalid for SLU1 console and SLUP/3600/FINANCE devices, and the IMS ETO Support default that is used.

Process - LOGON PROCESS
- Invalid - Auto Signon
- Default - ETO-SUPPORT
Process - DFS3650
- Invalid - USER MOD
- Default - IMS DEFAULT
Process - LTERM/USER NAMING OPTIONS
- Invalid - IMS DEFAULT
- Invalid - SUFFIXED USERID
- Default - LTERM = NODE NAME

To ensure that the proper options are used, consider creating the device default entry for both SLU1 console and SLUP/3600/FINANCE devices.

The Global Signon Options panel is displayed if you choose option 1 on the Global Options Menu panel.

Global signon options reference

LOGON PROCESS options

1 - ETO-SUPPORT: This option is the standard IMS ETO Support logon process. In environments with forced signon processing (user ID verification), this option should be used. If there are selected terminals that do not require signon, these devices can be excluded by terminal name in the LUNAME specific options
2 - USER DFSLGNX1: Use this option if you want to supply your own DFSLGNX0 (Logon) exit routine. You must change the 0 in the exit name to numeric 1 to access your exit (DFSLGNX1). When this option is selected, user exit DFSLGNX1 is called instead of the IMS ETO Support Logon exit DFSLGNX0. This means that IMS ETO Support does not set any of the values that it normally provides in its Logon exit. These include ALOT/ASOT overrides. Note that the ASOT value can also be provided in the Signon exit (IMS ETO Support's Signon exit, DFSSGNX1, or DFSSGNX2).
3 - AUTO SIGNON: The auto signon option lets users log on to IMS without specifying a user ID or password. In environments that do not currently use IMS signon processing, this option allows transparent implementation of ETO. Keep in mind, however, that all terminals in your network have access to IMS when ETO is implemented. This option is, therefore, not recommended as a global default. Instead, consider using the IMS ETO Support option as the global default, and defining specific terminal names that do not require signon processing in the LUNAME specific options.

DFS3649 options

1 - IMS DEFAULT

Use this option to receive the standard DFS3649A message.

2 - DFS2002 MESSAGE

Use this option to receive message DFS2002.

3 - ETO-SUPPORT

Use this option to receive the IMS ETO Support standard signon panel.

PASSSIZE

This suboption is located on the right side of '3 - ETO-SUPPORT *'. Use this suboption to specify which panel to receive when signing on.

P: Use this option to receive the IMS ETO Support passphrase signon panel. Member IZTSIGNP in SIZTDATA contains the MFS source for this option.
W: Use this option to receive the IMS ETO Support password signon panel. Member IZTSIGNO in SIZTDATA contains the MFS source for this option.

If this suboption is not specified, the signon panel is determined by the MFSPPDEF parameter of the DFSDCxxx PROCLIB member.

MFSPPDEF=Y: IMS ETO Support passphrase signon panel is to be used
MFSPPDEF=N: IMS ETO Support password signon panel is to be used

4 - USER DFSGMSG1

With this option, you can supply your own DFSGMSG0 (Greeting Messages) exit. You must change the 0 in the exit name to numeric 1 to access your exit (DFSGMSG1).

5 - USER MOD

Use this option to supply your own MFS mod name.

DFS3650 options

1 - IMS DEFAULT: Use this option to receive the standard DFS3650A (signon status) message after signon.
2 - DFS058 MESSAGE: Use this option to receive message DFS058 after signon.
3 - BLANK SCREEN: Use this option to send a 1-byte blank (x'40') message to IMS MOD DFSMO2.
4 - USER DFSGMSG1: Use this option to invoke your own DFSGMSG0 (Greeting Messages) exit after signon. You must change the 0 in the exit name to numeric 1 to access your exit (DFSGMSG1).
5 - USER MOD: Use this option to supply your own MFS mod name after signon.
You can specify whether this MFS mod receives the DFS3650I message from IMS. Set this option with the "DFS3650 WHEN USER MOD USED" option in IZTRAN or the UMFS3650=Y | N in the IZTUD1U0 batch update utility.
6 - DFS2002 MESSAGE: Use this option to receive message DFS2002.

LTERM/USER NAMING OPTIONS

1 - IMS DEFAULT

Use this option to create a USER and LTERM using the standard IMS ETO naming structure (USERID=USER=LTERM).

2 - NODE=USER=LTERM

Use this option to create a USER and LTERM with the same name as the NODE.

3 - USERID FROM TABLE

Use this option to specify the USER/LTERM name that is obtained from a LU name or user specific record. If a matching LU name or User record is not found, the USER/LTERM name is created using the IMS DEFAULT method (option 1).

4 - SUFFIXED USERID

Use this option to specify that the USER/LTERM is to be created by appending a suffix to the user ID. You can choose from one of the following techniques to determine how the names are generated:

Technique 1.: IMS ETO Support adds a single character to the user ID to form the USER/LTERM name. The values it adds are 0 - 9, A - Z.
Technique 2.: IMS ETO Support adds multiple characters to the user ID to form the USER/LTERM name. The values it appends are 000 - FFF.
Technique 3.: For all but the initial signon, IMS ETO Support adds a single character to the user ID to form the USER/LTERM name. The values are 1 - 9, A - Z. For the initial signon of a user ID, no suffix is added.
Technique 4.: For all but the initial signon, IMS ETO Support adds multiple characters to the user ID to form the USER/LTERM name. The values it appends are 001 - FFF. For the initial signon of a user ID, no suffix is appended.

If you selected technique 2 and the user ID is 7 characters, IMS ETO Support automatically switches to technique 1.

If you selected technique 4 and the user ID is 7 characters, IMS ETO Support automatically switches to technique 3.

When this option is used, IMS ETO Support returns to IMS the first available user ID and suffix name.

If the same user ID attempts to sign on at the same time, IMS ETO Support may return the same suffix data to IMS. If this happens, the second attempt to sign on with the same user ID receives an error message indicating that the USER/LTERM is already in use. In this case, the signon needs to be tried again.

Note: You can specify both the number and value of the suffixes that IMS ETO Support appends to the user ID (refer to AIZTSAMP members IZTUMOD1 and IZTUSER for additional information).

5 - USER DFSSGNX1

Use this option to create your own customized DFSSGNX0 (Sign-On) exit. You must change the 0 in the exit name to numeric 1 to access your exit (DFSSGNX1).

6 - APPEND @ TO USERID

Use this option to specify that the USER/LTERM is to be created by appending an at sign (@) character to the user ID. In order for an at sign (@) character to be appended, the user ID must be less than 8 characters long. If this option is selected and an 8-character user ID is used to sign on to IMS, the 8-character user ID is used for the user name and LTERM name.

IDLE NODE TIMEOUT options

IMS provides for terminal timeout in an ETO environment. IMS ETO Support lets you specify auto-signoff and auto-logoff times at a global level, which can be overridden for specific user IDs and/or terminal names.

The choices are:

ASOT: Use this option to specify an auto signoff time.
ALOT: Use this option to specify an auto logoff time.

After you have entered all your global options, press Enter. A confirmation message appears indicating that the global options have been stored.
