Creating an Application Definition

To create an application definition for IMS

  1. Specify GRP in the Type field of the ACT.
  2. If your IMS applications limit access to certain transactions based on the PTERM name, you may want to use virtual terminal masking rules.

    For more information, see the Administration Guide.

  3. If your IMS system queues output to an LTERM after a user signs off, you may want to specify Y in the Keep virtual terminal field of the ACT.
  4. If you have configured your IMS in an XRF environment, you can specify the USERVAR name in the Applid field and Y in the XRF application field of the ACT.

Prior to starting a session, CA TPX will issue an INQUIRE USERVAR to obtain the correct application ID with which to connect.
