Customizing CA Automation Point Files to Install AS/400 Manager

You need to insert configuration information for AS/400 Manager into your CA Automation Point files.

To insert configuration information for AS/400 Manager into your CA Automation Point files

  1. Customize the CA Automation Point rules file.

    Add the AS/400 Manager rules to your CA Automation Point rules file, AXCRULES.RUL. If you have rules you want to keep, use an editor to merge the AS400RUL.rul contents into your current AXCRULES.RUL file. Everywhere you see the system name of S44A0060, change it to your actual system name.

  2. Update your active session definition set by following these steps:
    1. Create three non-automated TN5250/TN3270 sessions named "AS400GET" (alert session), "AS400AUT" (automation session), and "AS400MAN" (manual session).

      For each session:

    1. Set the system name to the actual name of your system.
    2. Choose an appropriate terminal type. If you are unsure, choose 3278_2, which is the default terminal type.
    3. Choose the "AS400" menu.
    1. Create an automated asynchronous session named "AS400RUL":
    1. Set the system name to "AS400RUL".
    2. Choose the "AS400" menu for this session.
    3. Choose "VT100" as the terminal for this session.
    4. In the Local Session Settings for this session, set the Session Timeout Interval to zero.
    5. In the Communication Settings for this session:

      a. Set Communication Device to "MEMORY."

      b. Set Parity to "Ignore."

      c. Set CR/LF Interpretation to "Yes".

    1. Create a function window named "AS400SSD" of type "PLOT" for AS/400 System Status.
  3. Update the REXX settings by adding an initialization REXX program named "AS400SET". You do this from the REXX Settings dialog in Configuration Manager.
  4. If you have not already done so, create a user profile for CA Automation Point to use. For instructions, see the section Creating a User Profile for CA Automation Point in this chapter.

    Customize the CA Automation Point script, AS400GET.SCR, which is the sign-on/recovery script for the alert session.

    Edit the AS400GET.SCR file. On the line "KEY=(userid@Tpassword@E)" substitute "userid" with the user ID you want to log on to. If your AS/400 system requires a password, substitute "password" with the correct password as well. If no password is required, delete the following text, which represents a TAB keystroke and the password:

    @Tpassword

    Do not delete the text "@E," which represents a carriage return.

    If the AS/400 system is using a non-English language or customized log-on screen, you may need to customize the search text in this file.

  5. Customize the AS/400 Manager configuration file, AS400CFG.CMD, by running the AS4CFG program, as described in the section Configuring AS/400 Manager in this chapter.

To customize CA Automation Point files in a multiple AS/400 system configuration, see the section Customizing CA Automation Point Files to Install AS/400 Manager When Connecting to Multiple Stand-alone Systems in this chapter.
