  • The APPLID of another CICS system.

Terminal Usage

Fixed Transaction
If specified, this specifies the only transaction that users can run from this terminal, apart from print and paging requests. If a fixed transaction is not specified, users can run any transaction from this terminal.
Priority
Specify the priority for transactions run from this terminal. Defaults to 0 (zero). Terminal priority is one factor in determining a transaction's execution priority, which is the sum of:
  • Terminal priority (this field)
  • Transaction priority
  • Operator priority
Note: The sum cannot be greater than 255.
In Service
Check this to specify that this terminal is in service; that is, transactions can be initiated and messages sent.

Associated Printers

Main Printer
Specify the printer used for handling print requests. This printer must be owned by the system that owns the terminal. The name can be up to four characters in length.
Print Copy
Check this to specify that the hardware copy feature (using the printer defined for this terminal) is used for print requests issued from this terminal.
Alternate Printer
Specify the printer used for handling print requests if the printer specified in Main Printer field is unavailable. This printer must be owned by the system that owns the terminal. The name can be up to four characters in length.
Alternate Print Copy
Check this to specify that the hardware copy feature (using the alternate printer defined for this terminal) is to be used for print requests issued from this terminal.

Terminal Security

User ID
Specify a user ID to be associated with the terminal. If the terminal definition includes a user ID, Enterprise Server honors the terminal user ID, and you can leave the this field blank.CAUTION: When the user ID is specified in the terminal definition, this logs you into the terminal without password verification.
Language
Choose the national language in which messages are sent over the connection.
Security Name

Identify
Incoming attach requests must specify a user ID.

Incoming attach requests must specify both a user ID and a password.
Persistent
The first attach request must specify both a user ID and a password, but subsequent attach requests require only a user ID.
Mixed
Incoming attach requests may specify either Identify or Persistent.
Local
The authority of the user is taken to be that of the link.
Operator ID
Specify an operator ID to be used for routing messages. Specify this for a terminal that cannot be signed on, such as a printer. If you specify an operator ID for a terminal that can be signed on, it is overridden by the operator ID specified in the user's sign-on table entry. Up to three alphanumeric characters.
Operator Priority
Specify the operator priority for transactions run from this terminal. Specify this for a terminal that cannot be signed on, such as a printer. If you specify it for a terminal that can be signed on, it is overridden by the operator priority specified in the user's sign-on table entry. This defaults to 0 (zero). Operator priority is one factor in determining a transaction's execution priority, which is the sum of:
  • Terminal priority
  • Transaction priority
  • Operator priority (this field)
The sum cannot be greater than 255.
