The Path Wizard

The Path Wizard provides a step-by-step way to configure the path requirements needed for a ALC, T27, and UTS terminal sessions. The Path Wizard can guide you to select the appropriate library and network for your connection type and other specifications required by the host. The Path Wizard also allows you configure paths that connect to host using centralized management server features such s ID Management.
