Configuring 5250 Users
To enable 5250 communications, you must define emulator users or
groups of users as described in “Configuring 5250 Emulator Users”.
Configuring 5250 Emulator Users
You must add emulator user definitions for each user who requires
access to a 5250 emulator.
Adding an individual user gives access to only that user.
You can also add a group of users in a single operation. Adding a group of
users gives access to all members of the group. This means that you do
not have to define each user individually, reducing the time needed to
configure users.
Emulator user information can be accessed by a Windows client running
an emulation program that is compatible with Microsoft's SNA Server
product.
To configure an emulator user or group, use one of the following methods:
Motif administration program
Select Emulator users and sessions from the
Windows menu on the Node window, then choose one of
the following options from the Selection menu:
• New user
• New user group
Command-line administration program
Issue the following command:
define_emulator_user
Emulation User and Group Configuration Parameters
The following parameters are required for each 5250 emulator user
definition:
User Name
The name of the emulator user.
