Asynchronous Sessions

Data streams that originate from any host or device that communicates asynchronously using the RS-232 protocol and asynchronous terminal type must be defined as asynchronous sessions.

If CA Automation Point supports the asynchronous console for which you are defining a session—that is, if the console is one of the valid console types that you can specify in the Console Type field in the Session Definition dialog—you can define the asynchronous session as an automated session (meaning that CA Automation Point automates the session directly through rules). If CA Automation Point does not support your console type, you cannot define an automated session.

Note: CA Automation Point can control non-automated asynchronous sessions indirectly through REXX programs.

Configuring CA Automation Point for asynchronous sessions is similar to configuring it for 3270 sessions. For more information about configuring your asynchronous sessions, see the Configuration Manager HTML help.
