Allow a user to commandeer a 3270 session already in use - When a user connects into the
SCON, and is given a connect panel to request a session from, they have an additional option
that allows them to take a session that is already assigned and in use by another user, by
specifically requesting the session and performing the commandeer function. The person
from which the session has been taken will be given a connect panel from which they can take
their session back if needed.
Assume all TN3270 clients support extended attributes - When enabled, LINCS will assume
that the device supports Extended Attributes (such as IBM 3278-2E device type) even if the
client negotiates a device type that implies that it does not support them (such as IBM 3278-
2 device type). This is to accommodate some emulators that negotiate that they do not support
Extended Attributes, but they really do.
Immediately Disconnect NonSNA Client When enabled, LINCS sends to the host an
Attention - Unit Check, when a client indicates power down. Normally LINCS sends the
Attention, and when the host attempts to select the device, LINCS responds with Unit Check.
This was required for some clients because the console function does not roll soon enough.
Send TN3270 connection confirmation to device - When enabled, LINCS sends a NVT
message to the client once they have successfully negotiated a TN3270 session with us, to
acknowledge success. Not all clients are capable of displaying a NVT message once they
have negotiated TN3270 options. In most cases the host will almost immediately write to the
device, so the message normally will be display most briefly if at all. Only if the host does not
write to the screen and if the device is capable of displaying NVT messages once in binary
mode, does this RPQ provide useful information.
Allow alphanumeric input on TN3270 Connect panel - With this RPQ enabled, you
can specify 3270 Host Class names, and specify a specific ‘Host,Address’ combination.
Without the RQP enabled, you are limited to entering the Class Number of what you
want to connect to.
Suppress the automatic CLEAR key when connecting to a Shared Session - Normally, a
CLEAR key is automatically generated to refresh the console screen to a user when connecting
to a Hot Session, but when the session is also to be shared this may not be desirable. This
RPQ allows you to suppress the automatic CLEAR key.
During TN3270E negotiation, always tell client what LU was assigned - Normally, LINCS
only tells the client which resource was assigned, only if the client requests a specific resource.
With this RPQ enabled, LINCS will always tell the client which resource was assigned. (This
is required to make the Passport client work correctly.)
