Getting Started › Log On

Log On

To access your product, you must log on to it through a region. The logon procedure is the same whether you are logging on in a single system or a multisystem environment. Before you can log on to a region, you need a user ID and password. Ensure that your system administrator has defined your user ID to the region and has allocated the relevant level of authority.

Note: You may have access to one or more regions. This depends on whether your organization has set up a single system or a multisystem environment.

To log on to your product

1. Use your installation defined method for establishing SNA sessions to connect to the ACB name of the region.

   For example, enter LOGON APPLID(acb-name), using the ACB name of the region.

2. Enter your user ID and password on the displayed logon panel.

   The Primary Menu appears.

Note: When you first log on to a region, the region uses a default profile for your primary menu. You can update the profile to change the format of the menu. To update the profile, enter PROFILE at the command prompt.

If Region Initialization Is Still in Progress

If the Initialization in Progress panel appears on your screen instead of the primary menu, the initialization of the region is still in progress. Press F3 (Exit) to exit to the primary menu.

Note: For information about the initialization process, see the Installation Guide.

If the System Image Is Still Being Loaded

If the local system image is still being loaded, the primary menu contains the LS option. You can select this option to monitor the loading process. You can also perform functions that do not depend on an active local image.

Note: For information about system image loading, see the Administration Guide.
