7B. Record and edit a macro in a Host Access for the Cloud session

The logon macro is initiated when an authenticated user launches the session to connect or reconnect to the host.

NOTE:These instructions are guidelines to enable Automated Sign-On for Mainframe. Although error- checking is omitted for brevity and clarity, the macro author should check for errors as required by the application.

  1. In the IBM 3270 session you just created, create a macro to log on to this mainframe session. See Creating Macros in Host Access for the Cloud User Guide.

  2. Name the macro, for example ASO_logon.

  3. Edit the macro to contain the AutoSignon object that provides the methods needed to create a Host Access for the Cloud login to use with Automated Sign-on.

    See the example in Automatic Sign-On Macro for Mainframe in the Host Access for the Cloud User Guide.

  4. Save the macro and send the settings to the MSS Administrative Server.

  5. Save the session and send the settings to the MSS Administrative Server.
