Key AS400INI Functions

The AS400INI program performs these tasks:

1. If called with the WAIT parameter:
   • Waits for the specified number of seconds
   • Binds to the specified session
2. Finds automation session system status variables for each system in the session that is in RSTART mode.
   • This program checks to see if the signon menu is shown with the correct terminal ID or AS/400 system name. If either of these cases is true, the specified initialization script as defined by AS400SET is called to perform signon of the AS/400 system.
   • If the main menu is then shown for the relevant AS/400 system, the relevant automation session system status variable is set to ACTIVE.
   • If the main menu is not shown for the relevant AS/400 system, error recovery is performed by:
     • Calling the AS400RES script
     • Calling the initialization script
   • If the main menu is still not shown for the relevant AS/400 system:
     • An error message is written to the AP Msg and Action Msg windows.
     • The automation session system status variable is set to FAILED.
3. If called at CA Automation Point startup with the WAIT parameter:
   • The current session is unbound (UNBIND).
   • The program is terminated without any returned value.
4. If called from AS400JMP, the program is terminated with the current status value returned to AS400JMP.
