Setting Up AS/400 for Communication with AS/400 Manager

To set up the AS/400 system for communication with CA Automation Point and the AS/400 Manager application

  1. Obtain either the host alias or IP address for the AS/400 system. Verify that TCP/IP is properly installed and configured on the AS/400 system to be managed.
  2. Get your AS/400 system name. The AS/400 should display its system name in the upper-right corner of its logon screen on line 2.

    If the AS/400 system name is not displayed on the right side of line 2, AS/400 Manager will not recognize the system. You must reconfigure the logon screen, placing the system name in the same location specified by the screen example shown in the section AS/400 Default Logon Screen.

  3. Create a user profile for CA Automation Point to use on the AS/400 system to be managed. The topic Creating a User Profile for CA Automation Point describes how to create an AS/400 user profile for CA Automation Point. AS/400 Manager uses this user profile when it logs in to an alert session and an automation session.

    If you choose to have a manual session, manually log in using whatever user IDs you already use in your AS/400 operations.

  4. Create the KBD3270 CL program on the AS/400 system according to the topic Creating the 3270 Keyboard Map Routine in AS/400. This program is called from CA Automation Point scripts to enable the use of the PF keys.
  5. Using the instructions in the section Setting Up the Alert Function in AS/400, enable the OS/400 alert facility on the AS/400 system to be managed.
