- Altprintcopy
- specifies
whether the hardware COPY feature is to be used to satisfy a print request
on the printer named in the ALTPRINTER attribute. For further details, see
the PRINTERCOPY attribute.
- NO
- CICS should use the hardware COPY feature.
- YES
- CICS should not use the hardware COPY feature.
- Altprinter
- specifies
the name of a 3270 printer to be used, if the printer named in the PRINTER
attribute of this terminal definition is unavailable. The name may be up to
four characters in length. For further details, see the PRINTER attribute.
If you specify an ALTPRINTER without specifying a PRINTER, ALTPRINTER is ignored.
- ATI Status
- Specify whether or not the terminal is available for use by transactions
that are automatically initiated from within CICS.
- YES
- The terminal is available for use by transactions that are automatically
initiated from within CICS.
- NO
- The terminal is not available for use by transactions that are automatically
initiated from within CICS.
- Attachsec (APPC only)
- specifies
the level of attach time user security required for the connection.
- LOCAL
- The authority of the user is taken to be that of the link itself, and
you rely on link security alone to protect your resource.
- IDENTIFY
- Incoming attach requests must specify a user identifier. Specify IDENTIFY
when the connecting terminal has a security manager.
- MIXIDPE
- A connection is able to support attaches using either or both of the
IDENTIFY and PERSISTENT security types. The security type used depends on
the incoming attach.
- PERSISTENT
- This involves a user sign-on to a remote system that persists over multiple
conversations until the user signs off from the remote system. In this way,
the user’s ID and password are passed only on the first (sign-on) attach.
Subsequent attach requests require only the user’s ID.
- VERIFY
- Incoming attach requests must specify a user identifier and a user password.
Specify VERIFY when the connecting terminal has no security manager and therefore
requires verification.
- Autoinsmodel
- specifies
whether this terminal definition can be used as a model terminal definition
for autoinstall.
- NO
- This definition is not used as a model for autoinstall. It is used only
as a definition for a specific device that is not autoinstalled.
- ONLY
- This definition is used only as a model for autoinstall. It is not used
as a definition for a specific device.
- YES
- This definition is used for a specific device that is not autoinstalled.
The definition is also used as a model for automatic installation.
- Autoinsname
- specifies
the name by which this model definition is known in the autoinstall control
program. The name can be up to eight characters in length.
You need specify this only if AUTINSTMODEL is YES or
ONLY.
- BindPassword (APPC only)
- specifies, for APPC links on systems running CICS®/MVS™ 2.1.2 or CICS/ESA 3.3, a password of up to 16 hexadecimal characters (0-9, A-F).
The password does not appear while you are typing it and it is not displayed
on the update or browse panel. If you specify a password, the BindPassword
field name appears highlighted on the update and browse panels to indicate
a password exists; the field itself contains blanks. You can use the update
panel to change an existing password or add a new password.
- Bindsecurity (APPC only)
- specifies
whether an external security manager (ESM) is being used for bind-time security.
- NO
- No external bind-time security is required.
- YES
- If security is active and the XAPPC system initialization parameter is set to YES, an
ESM is called.
- Console
- If the CICS system is running
under a release of MVS earlier than MVS SP 4.1, indicate whether the terminal
is a console device:
- NO
- The terminal is not a console device.
- number
- A number in the range 01 through 250 (but not 128) that identifies an
existing console. This number must match the identification numbers assigned
to consoles according to their sequence in the CONSOLnn member of MVS SYS1.PARMLIB.
If you leave this field blank, CICSPlex® SM uses the default
value for your CICS environment, if there is one.
- ConsoleName
- You can use this attribute only if the CICS system is running
under MVS SP 4.1 or later. The length of CONSNAME must be 2-8
characters and must begin with an alphabetic character or one of #, @, or $.
It uniquely identifies the console device within
a CICS region, regardless of the MVS image to which it is connected; that
is, you cannot install two console definitions with the same CONSNAME. The
CONSNAME corresponds to the name defined for the console in the MVS SYS1.PARMLIB
member, CONSOLnn.

the terminal priority. This decimal value (0 through 255) is used in establishing
the overall transaction processing priority. (Transaction processing priority
is equal to the sum of the terminal priority, transaction priority, and operator
priority, not exceeding 255.) If you leave this field
blank, CICSPlex SM uses the default value for your CICS environment, if there is
one.

- YES
- Use the default user ID specified on the DFLTUSER SIT parameter for
the CICS system.
