Session Functionality

1. Save User Configuration (for HTML-based model pages)
  • User changes to the session configurations (like session properties, key remap, color remap and so on) are saved in the browser’s cache.
2. Combined-Based Model Support:
  • Combined-based model pages work as a combination of HTML-model pages and Config-based model pages.
  • Session created under the groups in the configuration server is listed in the ZIEWeb-Client html page created in the Deployment Wizard.
  • As in the HTML-based model, there is no login prompt.
  • User updates are stored into the browser cache.
3. Auto-Start Macros
  • Support to automatically play an already existing macro when the session connects.
4. StartSessions Automatically
  • Support to launch a Session automatically (if theStart Automaticallyoption is set toYes) when a ZIEWeb-Client user accesses the page, on which the session is defined.
  • The Start Automatically property is available under the session property window, and can be enabled by choosing the Radio button for 'Yes' against the field, 'Start Automatically'.
5. Keystroke Buffering/Type-Ahead
  • Enables the user to enter keystrokes in an emulator session while input is inhibited; keystrokes are buffered and processed later when the input-inhibited condition is removed.

6. Edit Session Properties

  • Configuration model-based users can edit session parameters from ZIEWeb-Client users, if they are not locked by an administrator

Add Workstation ID and LU Name:

  • LUNameorpool nameis the session property that connects the session to the specified pool name, which is defined at the telnet server. The first character must be from A through Z, $ (dollar sign), @ (at symbol). The remaining characters can be from A through Z, 0 through 9, $, and @.
  • Workstation IDis the session property that defines the name of the workstation, If this field is left blank, the host automatically defines the unique ID. The first character must be from A through Z, $ (dollar sign), @ (commercial at sign), or # (number sign). The remaining nine characters can be from A through Z, 0 through 9, $, @ or _ (underscore).The first character can be % (percent symbol) that gets replaced by ‘S’ for display sessions, and when the next character is * (asterisk) it gets replaced by the session short name as in OIA.For example, %M52* replaced by SM52A, SM52B.

Connection Parameters Support:

Many connection-related properties are supported by ZIEWeb-Client, such as the following:

  • TN3270E, Contention Resolution under General.
  • Keep-alive, Inactivity Timeout, Connection Timeout under Advanced.
  • Backup Server1 and Backup Server2, Timeout if no data received at initialization, Connect to last host without timeout under Backup Servers. LU or Pool Name is included under Backup Server1 and Backup Server2 for 3270 session alone.
  • End users can enable/disable the properties (from the Connection tab in Property Panel) by locking/unlocking while creating a session.
    • For Config-based model, changes made at client side will be updated on server side.
    • For HTML-based model and Combined-based model, the modified properties will be stored into the browser cache.
