4.1.3 How to test Terminal ID Manager criteria

The Terminal ID Manager provides IDs to client applications at runtime. To confirm that Terminal ID Manager can provide an ID using the criteria and value selections you selected use this test option.

Criteria for the current session are specified on the Connection panel after selecting Use Terminal ID Manager from either the Device Name (3270, 5250 host types), the Terminal ID (UTS) field, or the Station ID (T27) field. By default, the selected criteria for the current session are displayed.

Click Test to confirm that Terminal ID Manager can provide an ID matching the configured criterion and value selections. The test returns the name of an available ID that satisfies the selected attribute values.

Testing for other criteria and values

You can also use this panel to test criteria different from those associated with the current session.

  1. Select any of the session types from the Session type list, and select the criteria you want to test. You can test alternate values that you want to use in a sample Terminal ID Manager request.

  2. Click Test to confirm that Terminal ID Manager can provide an ID matching the criterion and value selections. The test returns the name of an available ID that satisfies the selected values.
