Logging on from VTAM

To use CA SYSVIEW with VTAM, enter SYSVIEW. If an application ID other than SYSVIEW was specified for the APPLID parameter, this ID must be used when logging on to CA SYSVIEW.

Use the format for the SYSVIEW command for VTAM:

SYSVIEW [DATA(userid)]
DATA(userid)

Supplies the user ID when logging on to CA SYSVIEW. If you omit the DATA parameter, CA SYSVIEW prompts for your user ID.

Note: Because a user can enter anything for a user ID, including the user ID of an administrator, it is important that passwords be used to secure user IDs with special authority.

If you have a password, or are using the VTAM interface, a User Identification display appears when you type in SYSVIEW. You must enter your user ID and a password, if required. You have three chances to enter the correct password before the session is terminated.

Pressing any PF key from this display terminates the session.
