How to Record and Play Logon Scripts
The 3270 logon scripts make it easy for users and administrators to automate the logon procedure. You can use a script provided by your system administrator, or create your own. You can run the logon script at any time. The logon script feature enables Single Sign-On to host applications for the 3270 Host Integration Server clients and 3270 weblets, provided your host security administrator has enabled account password synchronization.
To use a logon script provided by your system administrator
Start the 3270 Client.
On the Session menu, click Connect. The logon dialog box appears, ready for you to enter your user ID and password.
On the Script menu, click Play. The script runs, and you are logged on.
To create your own logon script
Start the 3270 Client.
On the Session menu, click Connect. The logon dialog box appears, ready for you to enter your user ID and password.
On the Script menu, click Record.
Logon to the host using the 3270 screens and keyboard. The Record facility converts these actions into a logon script. (Click here to see a Sample Logon Script.)
When you are finished recording your logon script, on the Script menu, click Stop.
To run your logon script, on the Script menu, click Play.
The scripts can be modified using any text editor, such as Notepad.
To run the logon script automatically each time you connect
On the Script menu, select Auto Run. When you establish a connection to the host, the logon script runs automatically.
Optionally, on the Session menu, select Autoconnect. Every time you start the 3270 Client, the connection to the host will be made and you will be logged on automatically.
To choose different script files
On the Session menu, select Session Configuration. The 3270 Settings dialog box appears.
On the Script File box, click Browse and select another script file.
Double-click the script file you want to use.
