Personal Communications is designed to use various communication adapters and to work with other workstation and host system software. Refer to the appropriate documentation for the products you use. Command Syntax Symbols Parentheses, brackets, ellipses, and slashes have the following meanings or uses: ( ) Parentheses enclose operands that govern the action of certain command options. [ ] Brackets indicate an optional command argument. If you do not use the optional item, the program selects a default. ... Ellipsis after an argument indicates that you can repeat the preceding item any number of times. / For 3270, a slash must precede the Time Sharing Option Extensions (TSO/E) password. A slash must also precede parameters of DOS commands entered from the command line. For 5250, a slash must precede parameters of IBM DOS commands entered from the command line. \ A backslash is included as part of any directory name. An initial backslash indicates the first-level directory, and an additional backslash is inserted in the directory name to indicate another level. All directives, operands, and other syntax can be typed in either uppercase or lowercase, unless otherwise indicated. © Copyright IBM Corp. 1989, 2004 xi Where to Find More Information The following sections discuss getting help when you are installing, configuring, or using Personal Communications.

You can use Personal Communications online help just as you use the online help for Windows. Messages and Alerts Online messages are displayed by Personal Communications, but a message does not always mean an error occurred. For example, a message might tell you that an operation is in progress or has been completed. A message can also prompt you to wait for the completion of an operation. Messages That Appear in Pop-Up Windows While using Personal Communications, you may see messages appear in popup windows, but not necessarily as a direct result of your actions. These messages can appear for a number of reasons, outlined in the following sections. System-Fault Messages: For Windows NT, if a message does appear in a pop-up window, you can paste its contents into the Windows NT clipboard. To do this: 1. Click Details on the pop-up window. xii Administrator’s Guide and Reference 2. 3. 4. 5. Mark the text that you want to copy. Click the marked text with the right mouse button and then click Copy. Start an editor, such as Notepad, and click Paste from the Edit menu. Save the file in case an IBM Service Representative needs this information to diagnose your problem. Security-Related Messages: Personal Communications optionally utilizes Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or Transport Layer Security (TLS) to establish sessions with servers; this may require input from you (for example, a password). See Chapter 6, “Configuring and Using Security for Personal Communications,” on page 61 for details. System-Policy-Related Messages: Your Personal Communications workstation configuration can be controlled centrally using facilities for managing system policies. See Chapter 5, “System Policy Support,” on page 51 for details. OIA Messages Personal Communications displays messages in the operator information area (OIA) or in a pop-up window. Messages from Personal Communications are displayed in the message window; messages from the host system regarding the condition of the session are displayed in the OIA of the session window. The OIA is the bottom line of the session window. An OIA message indicates the status of Personal Communications as well as information about the workstation, host system, and attachment method. All of the OIA indicators, reminders, and messages are described in the online help. To view this information: 1. Click Index from the Help menu. 2. Select The operator information area messages. To look up a specific OIA message, select Search. When the Search window appears, type the letters that appear in the OIA. For example, MACH or PROG. If a lightning bolt appears, type COMM. 3. Double-click the index entry that matches your search. 4. Scroll through the window until you find the number that appears in your OIA. Alerts Alerts may be generated which correspond to specific Personal Communications messages. See Appendix B, “Alerts,” on page 277 for more information.

Problem Analysis This chapter describes the information that will help you analyze problems with Personal Communications, and ways to report a problem to IBM. For detailed information about contacting IBM, refer to Quick Beginnings. For information about Personal Communications and support, refer to the following Web sites: v The Personal Communications home page provides access to general product information, and download services. To view this page, go to the following Internet address: http://www.ibm.com/software/network/pcomm v The Personal Communications support page provides links to code fixes, tips, newsgroups, support options, and services. To view this page or to submit a software defect report, go to the following Internet address: http://www.ibm.com/software/network/pcomm/support Personal Communications provides several utilities to help you with problem analysis. They can be invoked by selecting their icons from the Programs → IBM Personal Communications → Administrative and PD Aids subfolder on the Windows Start menu. The following sections describe these utilities and how to use them. Log Viewer The Personal Communications log viewer utility enables you to view, merge, sort, search, and filter information contained in message and trace logs. Use the log viewer during problem analysis to work with message and trace log entries. The default name of the message log output file is PCSMSG.MLG; its file extension must be .mlg. The file extension for trace logs must be .tlg. To view message or trace logs: 1. From the Administrative and PD Aids subfolder, click Log Viewer; or, from an active session, click Launch → Log Viewer from the Actions menu. 2. From the list of logged messages, double-click a message to display the message text. Note: Only one message log is created per machine. In simultaneous user environments such as WTS, all user messages are logged into that single instance of the log file. See Chapter 7, “Using Windows Terminal Services,” on page 87 for more information about terminal services. For more information about log viewer functions, see Chapter 10, “Log Viewer Functions,” on page 101. © Copyright IBM Corp. 1989, 2004 9 Trace Facility The Personal Communications trace facility enables you to log trace information for certain Personal Communications functions. To start a trace, perform the following steps: 1. From the Administrative and PD Aids folder, click Trace Facility; or, from an active session, select Launch → Trace Facility from the Actions menu. The trace status on the title bar displays the current state: Active Trace data is being collected by the trace facility. Inactive No trace data is being collected. 2. From the main dialog box, click Set Up to set the desired trace system parameters. 3. Click OK to return to the main trace dialog box. 4. From the main trace dialog box, select the type of data you want to trace from the Function Name, Component Name, and Trace Option list boxes. Function Name A specific set of Personal Communications features, such as 3270/5250 Emulator or User Services. Component Name The name of a specific part of a function, such as API data (for the 3270/5250 Emulator function) or Node Initialization (for the User Services function). 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Trace Options The options associated with a particular component, such as EHLLAPI (for the API component) or API trace (for the Node Initialization component). Start tracing data by clicking Start, or apply changes to the trace options by clicking Apply. Run the operation that you want to trace. Optionally, stop the trace by clicking Stop. Save the trace data to your hard disk by clicking Save. Click Format to specify a formatted trace file name and to format the trace data. The Information Bundler utility should be used immediately after the trace is complete to ensure that the correct information is gathered. Note: If you have changed the default path setting for the formatted trace file, the Information Bundler will not find the trace information. Copy the trace files to the system-class application data directory. 10. Click OK. 11. Click Clear to clear the trace buffer where you saved a trace. 12. Use the log viewer to view the formatted trace log. 10 Administrator’s Guide and Reference Information Bundler The Personal Communications Information Bundler utility gathers system files, trace and log files, and registry information into a self-extracting .EXE file. This .EXE file can be sent to support personnel using FTP for problem resolution. This utility should be executed immediately after the trace is complete to ensure that the correct information is gathered. Start Information Bundler using one of the following ways: v Click Administrative and PD Aids → Information Bundler from the Personal Communications program menu. v In an active emulator session, click Actions → Launch → Information Bundler from the menu bar. The X12345.EXE file is created in the Personal Communications system-class application data directory. This file contains system and Personal Communications information. Refer to the installation documentation for the location of the system-class application data directory for each Windows operating system. Internet Service The Internet Service utility enables you to send the .EXE file containing diagnostic data collected by the Information Bundler to an FTP server. This utility will not work unless TCP/IP is configured and you have a direct connection to the internet. To use Internet Service: 1. Double-click the Internet Service icon located in the Personal Communications program group; or, from an active session, click Actions → Launch → Internet Service. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. The Internet Service window contains four data fields that must have valid values before you can submit your problem report. Verify that the FTP Address field contains the default address testcase.software.ibm.com. This is the service anonymous FTP server. Type your e-mail address in the field provided. In the Problem Determination Filename field, type the file name and path of the .EXE file created with the Information Bundler. This file is located in the Personal Communications installation directory. In the PMR Number field, type the PMR number that you received as a result of contacting IBM support personnel. When all fields in the window have been filled with valid values, click Transmit to submit your problem determination information. Checking for APARs and Manufacturing Refreshes The Product Update Tool enables you to manage manufacturing refreshes and APARs (Authorized Program Analysis Reports) for Personal Communications. Authorized users also can use the Product Update Tool to download, test, and commit APARs. Authorized Program Analysis Reports (APARs) are single module product fixes for Personal Communications, while manufacturing refreshes are full Personal Communications product updates. You must be connected to the Internet in order to test or commit APARs. Chapter 2. Problem Analysis 11 The Product Update Tool uses .vbs files to download the correct APAR package, so the Windows Scripting Host Service must be running on the machine being updated. To access the Product Update Tool: 1. Select Administrative and PD Aids from the Personal Communications start menu. 2. Click Product Update Tool. 3. Click Connection Configuration to change connection and proxy options. The following are the major functions available using the Product Update Tool. v “Test an APAR” on page 13 v “Remove an APAR” on page 13 v “Commit an APAR” on page 14 v “Manufacturing Refreshes (MRs)” on page 15 Connection Configuration The WebUpdate connection configuration panel automatically appears when the Product Update Tool is first run after installation. If you have already set up your Internet connection for your Internet browser, there is no need to fill in any data in the Connection Configuration window—the data from your Internet browser will be used. After the initial configuration settings are entered or confirmed, the update panel does not appear automatically each subsequent time. If changes to the configuration are necessary, click the Connection Configuration button on the main panel. You can specify the following WebUpdate configuration options: Connection Method If connecting through a modem, select the dialup connection name from the drop-down list. Proxy Connection Settings During installation, Personal Communications automatically checks the Internet browser proxy settings and configures WebUpdate to use those settings. If no proxy settings are available, Personal Communications defaults the settings to blank (no settings). Select Uses Proxy Connection to add or change the proxy settings for WebUpdate. If you use an HTTP proxy server, you can enter the user name and password. If you are connecting through a SOCKS server, type socks= in front of the server address. The Product Update Tool does not support the use of Automatic Configuration Scripts. APARs This option enables you to test an APAR before installing it permanently. When testing an APAR, you should not attempt any repair of the Personal Communications installation, or the APAR will be removed. After the APAR is tested, it should be either removed or committed—an APAR should not be left in test mode. It is recommended that you test an APAR before committing it. When you install a product using Windows Installer, the .msi file is cached on the machine. During an 12 Administrator’s Guide and Reference APAR test, no changes are made to the Personal Communications .msi file, which enables the APAR to be removed. When an APAR is committed, the APAR .msp file (a self-extracting executable Microsoft Patch) updates the .msi file—the changes become part of the installed product and no backup copy of Personal Communications is available. At that point, the APAR cannot be removed. If Personal Communications is reinstalled on a machine, any prior APARs must be recommitted. The .msi file is similar to a database that contains information on all the files that were installed. When you test an APAR, the .msi file does not get updated with the updated files information. This enables the removal of the APAR if there were undesirable effects. Note: The Personal Communications installation source must be present when you commit an APAR. Product Update Tool Options The Product Update Tool utility has three options for APARs. Test an APAR: This option enables you to test the APAR before it is installed permanently onto the Personal Communications product. APARs that have been tested can be removed using the Remove an APAR option. When you test an APAR, the Product Update Tool obtains a list of available APARs for Personal Communications from the IBM support site on the Internet. APARs that have already been applied to the specific Personal Communications image or installation are not displayed in the list. You can then select the desired APARs and apply them. APAR test and commit packages can be obtained directly from the Internet. Use the following URL syntax to locate a specific APAR: http://www6.software.ibm.com/aim/pcL58MMP.exe where 58 indicates the product version number. The following are variables: L Specifies one of the following languages: v m is Multi-Language Support. v s is Simplified Chinese. v t is Traditional Chinese. v k is Korean. MM Indicates the modification/manufacturing refresh level. The base level would be 00. P Indicates the package type. v t is the test package. v c is the commit package. For example, http://www6.software.ibm.com/aim/pcm5800c.exe is the URL for the Multi-Language Support commit package for the base level of Personal Communications. Remove an APAR: APARs that have been tested can be removed using this option. When you click Remove an APAR, a list of APARs is displayed, indicating Chapter 2. Problem Analysis 13 which ones can be removed. Select the APARs to be removed and click Next—follow the procedures to remove the APAR. Commit an APAR: This option enables you to install an APAR permanently. When you click Commit an APAR, a list with all available APARs is shown, including those installed for testing. You do not need to test APARs prior to committing them—however, it is recommended that you test all APARs. During the commit process, you will see a list of active tasks that might interfere with the commit process (for example, active Personal Communications sessions)—the Product Update Tool might be one of the listed tasks. If so, close the listed tasks, including the Product Update Tool, and click Retry in the Installer dialog to complete the process. You can also click Cancel to terminate the update process. If you choose Ignore, you are more likely to be required to reboot in order for locked files to be updated. The commit process requires access to the original installation files. If you installed Personal Communications from the product CD, you must have the CD in the CD-ROM drive; if you installed Personal Communications off the network, you must be connected to the network. If the source is not present, you must provide the location of the source files. When you choose to commit an APAR, the APAR .msp file is downloaded and executed. When you have selected what APARs you want to commit, the corresponding .msp file is launched silently. Because the changes are permanent, no backup copy is made. You can then distribute one or more .msp files across the network. If the operating system is Windows 98 or Me, the .msp file is saved in X:\<drive>\Application Data\IBM\Personal Communications\APARs\[APAR Name] where X:\<drive> is the directory in which the operating system resides. For Windows NT, the .msp file is saved in X:\<drive>\Profiles\All Users\Application Data\IBM\Personal Communications\APARs\[APAR Name] For Windows 2000 and XP, the .msp file is saved in X:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\IBM\Personal Communications\APARs\[APAR Name] Note: After an APAR has been installed for testing or committed, the file pcommaparinfo.txt is created in the application data directories. This file contains a list of the APARs that have been installed, as well as their status (tested or committed). This file must not be edited or moved, because it is essential for the proper tracking of APARs. If you have a .msp file, you can manually commit the maintenance to other systems by using the following msiexec.exe command: msiexec.exe /p APAR.msp REINSTALLMODE=em where APAR is the name of the APAR file. 14 Administrator’s Guide and Reference Administrative Installation You can apply APARs to an install image by using the msiexec.exe parameter /p APAR.msp, where APAR is the name of the APAR. This parameter can be used in conjunction with the /a parameter, in order to commit an APAR to an administrative installation. The command line syntax is as follows: msiexec.exe /a "[absolute path to product .msi file]" /p "[absolute path to .msp file]" REINSTALLMODE=em Refer to CD-ROM Guide to Installation for more information about administrative installation and command-line parameters. For more information about the REINSTALLMODE property, refer to the Microsoft Developer Network at http://msdn.microsoft.com. You should always test an APAR on an administrative installation before pushing the new image or the APAR to other machines. The administrative installation on which APARs are tested and the administrative install image should always be synchronized. Fix Packs A fix pack is a cumulative APAR package containing all currently available APAR fixes. Fix packs are tested to ensure that the included APARs function well together. You can obtain fix packs using the APAR commit option in the Product Update Tool or by downloading the .msp file. When you check for APARs, any available fix packs are also displayed. The corresponding .msp file is located in the same application data directory as APARs, with the specific fix pack name. You might be prompted to reboot the system. To download fix pack files, go to the manufacturing refresh site—you will find a link to the latest fix pack, a list of included APARs, and installation instructions. Refer to CD-ROM Guide to Installation for information about applying fix packs to administrative installation images and local client installations. Manufacturing Refreshes (MRs) Manufacturing refreshes are packages containing a bundle of APARs and possibly new product options and improvements. For Personal Communications, new manufacturing refreshes are cumulative. To check for manufacturing refreshes, click Check for MRs in the Product Update Tool. Installing a manufacturing refresh is similar to a reinstallation of the product (removing old product files and installing new files); therefore, there is no test and commit process available for manufacturing refreshes. To remove a manufacturing refresh, your only option is to uninstall the current Personal Communications product level, then reinstall the prior level. You can obtain manufacturing refreshes only if you have purchased a full version of the product. This is validated by entering a service key, which is included in the original package of Personal Communications. When you check for manufacturing refreshes, your Internet browser opens to the manufacturing refresh site, where you are prompted to enter your registration data and service key. When registration is complete and the service key is entered, you can select the product, version, and language for which you need the manufacturing refresh update. Note: A manufacturing refresh file is usually larger than 100 MB. Chapter 2. Problem Analysis 15 Detect and Repair The Help → Detect and Repair operation performs a check on the installed Personal Communications files to determine if the installation has been damaged. A subsequent repair is performed, if necessary. Users must be authorized in the System Policy to use this feature. The user might be prompted for the installation image. The Restore my shortcuts option restores the original shortcuts. If the shortcuts have been modified since the original Personal Communications installation, you may want to keep shortcuts intact; in that case, do not choose this option. Note: The Detect and Repair function might interrupt any active sessions or nodes, without prompting the user. All active sessions and nodes should be closed before the function is used. Personal Communications Detect and Repair performs the following operations: v Reinstalls a file if it is missing or corrupt, or if it is an older version. v Rewrites all registry settings for the application in the LOCAL_MACHINE section of the registry. v Rewrites all registry settings for the application in the CURRENT_USER section of the registry. v Reinstalls all shortcuts (optional). 16 Administrator’s Guide and Reference Part 2. Advanced Configuration, Management, and Operations © Copyright IBM Corp. 1989, 2004 17 18 Administrator’s Guide and Reference Chapter 3. Advanced Configuration This chapter describes facilities useful for deploying Personal Communications in large networks. Some of these facilities are handled by features of Personal Communications itself, while others are provided by external products, augmented with facilities provided by Personal Communications. Configuration Files The following sections describe the advanced configurations that you can make with the built-in files of Personal Communications. Advanced configurations enable you to easily configure and distribute common keywords and parameters to your client base, and include the following: v Initial Configuration Definitions v Configuration with Template and Update Files Initial Configuration Definitions Personal Communications enables network administrators to create an initial configuration definitions file that contains common configuration definitions for their clients. By using an initial configurations file, the administrator can distribute preconfigured definitions and have them automatically preloaded whenever a new configuration is created on a client. The first step is to create a configuration using SNA node configuration, Start or Configure Sessions, or an ASCII editor. For detailed information on configuring sessions, refer to Quick Beginnings. After you create the configurations file, rename the file to the appropriate reserved name. For SNA node configuration files (*.ACG), the file name is PCSINIT.AC$. For workstation profiles (*.WS), the file name is PCSINIT.WS$. For emulator configurations using SNA communication, you should use both a PCSINIT.WS$ and a PCSINIT.AC$ file. After you rename the files, they can be distributed to client workstations. Put the files in the configuration files directory. The definitions in the files will be preloaded whenever a user creates a new configuration. Note: The initial configuration file does not override parameter defaults for new definitions in new configurations, but preloads complete definitions into new configurations. Users can modify these definitions to get custom parameter values; however, the original initial configuration file remains unchanged. Configuration File and Emulator Profile Directories The default directory for configuration files is specified during installation. Configuration files can be used for all users or a specific user. Refer to CD-ROM Guide to Installation for details on specifying the initial default directory. By default, Personal Communications searches for emulator profiles in the configuration files directory. You can use the User Preference Manager utility to indicate a different location for profiles. © Copyright IBM Corp. 1989, 2004 19 Using Template and Update Files When creating configurations for a large number of clients to implement, you can create a template configuration file that represents the common configuration elements for all clients. Using an update file with only those changes necessary for each client, you can distribute the template and update file and merge the two to create the target configuration. The Personal Communications Server template and update files enable you to create or modify a configuration using an ASCII editor. You can configure all of the Personal Communications configuration keywords and parameters with update files. Both the template and update files have the same format as Personal Communications configuration (.ACG) files. Template files can ease the mass distribution of configurations to remote clients. A template file can specify the keywords which are common to several clients. For example, if you have multiple clients to configure as SNA clients, many of the keywords will be identical. You can create a template configuration file that reflects those common keywords. You can use update files to add, modify, or delete keywords in a template file. The original template configuration file is left unchanged. An update file is merged into a template file by specifying the INCLUDE keyword at the end of the template file. For example, if an update file is named myconfig.chg, the last line of the template file that will use the update file is INCLUDE=myconfig.chg. When the template file and the update file are merged, you can give the resulting configuration file a name with the .ACG extension that distinguishes it from other .ACG files. When you create configurations using template and update files, the verification utility searches directories in the following order: 1. The local directory where the verification utility is being invoked 2. The system-class application data directory To ensure that the verification utility can locate the template and update files, you should store them in the system-class application data directory, which is also where the configuration (.ACG) files are stored. Key Fields The key field is the parameter in a keyword that names the keyword and uniquely identifies it from other keywords of the same type. Some keywords do not have key fields because they can only be specified once in a configuration file. An example of a keyword that can only be specified once is the NODE keyword. Adding Keywords to a Template File When using an update file to add a new keyword definition, you must provide the entire keyword. The key field must be provided along with a unique value. If any subfields are omitted from the keyword, the defaults for those fields are used. For example, to add a MODE keyword to the configuration, the update file might contain the following keyword: MODE=( MODE_NAME=MYMODE COS_NAME=#INTER CRYPTOGRAPHY=NONE DEFAULT_RU_SIZE=1 20 Administrator’s Guide and Reference MAX_NEGOTIABLE_SESSION_LIMIT=128 MAX_RU_SIZE_UPPER_BOUND=4096 MIN_CONWINNERS_SOURCE=15 ) The content of the update file assumes that a MODE keyword with the parameter of MODE_NAME=MYMODE does not exist in the template. If it does, the parameters will be updated with the values provided in the update file. If the MODE_NAME parameter is omitted from the update file, an error will occur during the configuration verification because the MODE_NAME parameter cannot be uniquely identified. Not all parameters available for the MODE keyword are specified in the update file. The remaining parameters use the defaults as specified in Configuration File Reference. The resulting addition to the configuration will look like this: MODE=( MODE_NAME=MYMODE AUTO_ACT=0 COMPRESSION=PROHIBITED COS_NAME=#INTER CRYPTOGRAPHY=NONE DEFAULT_RU_SIZE=1 MAX_NEGOTIABLE_SESSION_LIMIT=128 MAX_RU_SIZE_UPPER_BOUND=4096 MIN_CONWINNERS_SOURCE=15 PLU_MODE_SESSION_LIMIT=32 RECEIVE_PACING_WINDOW=1 ) Modifying a Keyword in a Template File When using the update file to modify an existing keyword definition, the original keyword should exist in the template file. If it does not exist in the template file, the update file adds an entry to the new configuration. You must specify the key parameter in the update file to identify the target keyword. Only those parameters specified in the update file keyword are updated in the template file’s keyword. Parameters not specified in the update file are left unchanged. For example, if the following MODE keyword is in the template file: MODE=( MODE_NAME=#INTER AUTO_ACT=0 COMPRESSION=PROHIBITED COS_NAME=#INTER CRYPTOGRAPHY=NONE DEFAULT_RU_SIZE=1 MAX_NEGOTIABLE_SESSION_LIMIT=256 MAX_RU_SIZE_UPPER_BOUND=4096 MIN_CONWINNERS_SOURCE=128 PLU_MODE_SESSION_LIMIT=256 RECEIVE_PACING_WINDOW=20 ) and the following keyword is specified in the update file: MODE=( MODE_NAME=#INTER AUTO_ACT=10 ) the resulting configuration would have the following MODE keyword definition: MODE=( MODE_NAME=#INTER AUTO_ACT=10 Chapter 3. Advanced Configuration 21 COMPRESSION=PROHIBITED COS_NAME=#INTER CRYPTOGRAPHY=NONE DEFAULT_RU_SIZE=1 MAX_NEGOTIABLE_SESSION_LIMIT=256 MAX_RU_SIZE_UPPER_BOUND=4096 MIN_CONWINNERS_SOURCE=128 PLU_MODE_SESSION_LIMIT=256 RECEIVE_PACING_WINDOW=20 ) Deleting a Keyword from a Template File When using the update file to delete a keyword from the template, you must specify the key parameter and value that identify the keyword, along with the keyword DELETE. For example, if the template file specifies the following keyword: MODE=( MODE_NAME=#INTER AUTO_ACT=0 COMPRESSION=PROHIBITED COS_NAME=#INTER CRYPTOGRAPHY=NONE DEFAULT_RU_SIZE=1 MAX_NEGOTIABLE_SESSION_LIMIT=256 MAX_RU_SIZE_UPPER_BOUND=4096 MIN_CONWINNERS_SOURCE=128 PLU_MODE_SESSION_LIMIT=256 RECEIVE_PACING_WINDOW=20 ) and the response file contains the following keyword: MODE=( MODE_NAME=#INTER DELETE ) the resulting configuration does not contain the #INTER mode definition. The DELETE keyword can appear after a parameter=value specification or on a line by itself, either preceding or following the parameter. For example, the following uses of the DELETE keyword are valid: MODE=( MODE_NAME=#INTER DELETE ) MODE=( DELETE MODE_NAME=#INTER ) The DELETE keyword cannot appear in front of a parameter=value specification on the same line. For example, the following uses of the DELETE keyword are not valid: MODE=( DELETE MODE_NAME=#INTER ) MODE=( MODE_NAME=#INTER DELETE ) 22 Administrator’s Guide and Reference To delete all keywords of a particular type, or to delete one keyword that does not have a key field, only the keyword and the DELETE keyword are necessary. For example, MODE=( DELETE ) Note: Not all keywords can be deleted; only those which are not listed as required can be deleted—refer to Configuration File Reference for details. Applying Updates to Configuration Files To update or change an existing SNA configuration file using an update file, do the following: 1. Using a text editor, create an update file that contains keywords to be added, deleted, or changed in an existing SNA node configuration file. 2. Add an include statement at the bottom of the existing SNA node configuration or template indicating the name of the update file. 3. Invoke the SNA Configuration Verification utility by typing the following on the command line: vacgcon config.acg newconfig.chg config.acg The existing configuration file newconfig.chg The new configuration file You must remove the include statement to reuse your template as a configuration file. Note: When an update file does not contain a complete, usable configuration, it is recommended that you use an extension other than .ACG. Configuring Multiple Links Many customers must attach to multiple eServer i5, iSeries, or zSeries™ mainframe systems. Personal Communications allows this type of configuration. The following sections explain how to do this. Note: You do not need to read this section if you want to create multiple sessions on the same host. Configuring a Second 3270 Emulation Link Recommendation If you want a second SNA connection (link) to run concurrently, we strongly recommend that you configure it in the same .ACG file as the first one; this will avoid any possible conflict of settings. Perform the following steps to configure a second 3270 emulation link. You can make the configuration even if the first link is active. 1. Double-click the Start or Configure Sessions icon to start a new session; or click Configure from the Communication menu. 2. Choose the host, interface, and attachment type, as usual. Chapter 3. Advanced Configuration 23 3. Configure the session parameters, then click Configure Link. 4. In the Configure Local System panel, check that the default .ACG file is the one in which you saved the configuration for the first link. If not, click Existing and choose the correct file from the list. 5. Check that the settings for the PC Location Name are correct. Click Next. 6. The LAN Device Connection panel appears. Under Device Selection, be sure that the device used for the first link is displayed. Under Connection Selection, select New Connection. Notice that the connection name has changed to show a new link name. Click Next. 7. The Configure LAN Connection panel is displayed. The Destination Address field will show 400000000000. Enter the Destination Address for the second link, and change the additional parameters if needed. 8. Click Advanced. 9. The Advanced dialog panel shows the default values for block ID and PU ID. Change them as necessary to the values for the second link. Click OK. 10. Click Next, then Finish, and save the .ACG file (replace the existing file). Then click OK until you return to the session window. If you have done everything correctly, and if the gateway or controller is running, you should get a connection. You can add further 3270 links in the same way. Configuring a Second 5250 Emulation Link The steps you should follow to configure a second 5250 emulation link are almost the same as for 3270. You can make the configuration even if the first link is active. 1. Double-click the Start or Configure Sessions icon to start a new session; or click Configure from the Communication menu. 2. Choose the host, interface, and attachment type, as usual. 3. Configure the session parameters, then click Configure Link. 4. In the Configure Local System panel, check that the default .ACG file is the one in which you saved the configuration for the first link. If not, click Existing and choose the correct file from the list. 5. Check that the settings for the first link are correct. Click Next. 6. The Configure Logical Connection panel appears, showing the settings for the first link. If you are going to connect to a different eServer i5 or iSeries, change the System Location Name. Click Next. 7. The Configure LAN Connection panel appears. If the Link Station Name has not changed, change it. 8. Change the Destination Address (and the other parameters if necessary). If you want to change the Local SAP number or the Receive Buffer Count, (which is unlikely), click Advanced. If not, click Next, then Finish, and save the .ACG file (replace the existing file), then click OK until you return to the session window. You can add further 5250 links in the same way. Configuring a Second Link of a Different Kind The procedure for configuring other links is similar to those for the configurations for 3270 and 5250 link configurations. This procedure applies whether you are going to configure two (or more) links that use the same connection type, or links that use different connection types. In this example, assume that you have already 24 Administrator’s Guide and Reference configured a 3270 connection and now want to add a 5250 connection. As before, you can make the configuration even if the first link is active. 1. Double-click the Start or Configure Sessions icon to start a new session; or click Configure from the Communication menu. 2. Choose iSeries, the LAN interface and the IEEE 802.2 attachment type. 3. Configure the session parameters, then click Configure Link. 4. In the Configure Local System panel, check that the default .ACG file is the one in which you saved the configuration for the 3270 link. If not, click Existing and choose the correct file from the list. Notice that the PC Location Name is already there. Click Next. 5. The Configure Logical Connection panel appears. Enter the System Location Name and click Next. 6. Notice that the Link Station Name has changed. Enter the Destination Address of the eServer i5 or iSeries. Click Next, then Finish, and save the .ACG file (replace the existing file); then click OK until you return to the session window.

Click OK. g. Click Exit from the File menu. 13. To start the 5250 and 3270 emulator sessions together, double-click the Batch File icon on your Desktop. Automatic Device Name Generation (5250 Only) The Telnet 5250 client function can generate a new and non-arbitrary DEVice NAME (DEVNAME) for a session without requiring per-session profile (*.WS) customization or a user exit. You can use keywords and special characters in the WorkStationID (WID) field (in the [5250] stanza of the Workstation profile) to cause some or all of the following information to be substituted into the DEVice NAME value that is sent to the TN5250 server: v Computer name or user name v Short session ID v Session type ID v Collision avoidance ID When specified, the Collision Avoidance ID enables the generation of a new DEVice NAME if the Telnet server rejects a submitted name (which can occur when the old name is already in use on the eServer i5 or iSeries). The ability to have a variety of names generated allows multiple sessions to the same eServer i5 or iSeries from one or more clients using just one WorkStation Profile (.WS) file. The definition of the existing .WS file parameter WorkStationID in the [5250] stanza is extended to accomplish this. Substitution Characters You can use special substitution characters in the WID field to control the placement of the generated information into the DEVNAME field. One substitution character is used in the WID for each generated character. This reserves space in the DEVNAME for each generated character and indicates where each generated character is to be placed. The three special substitution characters are: Short Session ID (value range: A–Z) The special character signifying this in the WID is the asterisk (*). 28 Administrator’s Guide and Reference Example: If the WorkstationID is configured as 123* and the short ID of the first session is A, then the device names generated for the first three sessions will be 123A, 123B, and 123C. Session Type ID (possible values: S for diSplay or P for Printer) The special character signifying this in the WID is the percent sign (%). Example: If the Workstation ID is configured as %123* and the session type is Printer, then the first three device names generated would be P123A, P123B, and P123C. Collision Avoidance ID (value range: 1–9, A–Z) The Collision Avoidance ID (CAID) is used by the device name collision (DNC) function (see “Device Name Collision Processing” on page 30) to generate a new DEVice NAME when the old name is rejected by the Telnet server as already being in use. The special character signifying this in the WID is the equals sign (=). Example: If the Workstation ID is configured as %ABC=, the session type is Display, and the device name SABC1 is already in use on the eServer i5 or iSeries, then the first generated device name (SABC1) will be rejected by the server, but the second name (SABC2) will be accepted. Client Naming Function If you specify a Client Naming (CN) substitution keyword in the Workstation ID (WID) field, then an external name is retrieved and used when generating the DEVice NAME. The CN keywords are prefixed with the ampersand character (&), followed by a five character identifier. Two keywords are supported: &COMPN Windows COMPuter Name for the client &USERN USER Name specified during logon to the Windows computer where the emulator executes A name whose length exceeds the space remaining in the 10 character long DEVNAME field will have that excess trimmed from the left side by default. Excess characters can alternatively be trimmed from the right side by prefixing the CN keyword with a plus sign (+) character (for example, +&COMPN). Notes: 1. If the specified name cannot be obtained, then the message Unable to get the local "x" name (where ″x″ is COMPN or USERN) is displayed in the status bar. 2. If a client naming keyword is specified in the WID, then characters other than those defined for this feature are ignored. 3. A numeric character in the first position of a DEVNAME is invalid, and may be converted by the eServer i5 or iSeries to the pound (or number) character (#). Chapter 3. Advanced Configuration 29 Example A: If the Workstation ID is &COMPN* and the name of the local computer is clientaccess1, then the device names generated for the first three sessions would be ntaccess1A, ntaccess1B, and ntaccess1C. Example B: If the Workstation ID is +&COMPN*% and the name of the USER logon for the local computer is clientaccess1, then the device names generated for the first three sessions would be clientaccA, clientaccB, and clientaccC. Device Name Collision Processing Device name collision occurs when a Telnet client sends the Telnet server a virtual device name, but that device name is already in use on the server. When this occurs, the Telnet server sends a request to the client asking it to send a different DEVNAME. Device name collision (DNC) processing handles requests from the server for a different DEVNAME. If the collision avoidance ID (CAID) substitution character is present in the WID, the CAID is incremented and sent as part of the new DEVNAME to the server. If the server requests a different DEVNAME and the CAID is not present in the WID, then the error message Device Name "x" is invalid or already in use on the server is displayed on the status bar and the session is disconnected. Commands for Emulator Functions Personal Communications provides the following commands for managing Personal Communications sessions: PCOMSTRT Start a Personal Communications session PCOMSTOP Stop a Personal Communications session PCOMQRY Query Personal Communications sessions Start a Personal Communications Session The command PCOMSTRT has the following parameters: /p Name of workstation profile to start (required). The syntax is /p=workstation-profile. You can specify the workstation profile as either the path (drive, directory, and file name) or just the file name, in which case the location of the workstation profile file is the user-class application data directory. Note: If multiple /p parameters are given, PCOMSTRT only uses the last one to start a profile (.WS file). 30 /s Session letter of the session to start. The syntax is /s=session-letter. This is optional. If omitted, the first available session letter is used. /w Session window startup state. The syntax is /w={0|1|2|3}. 0 Hidden 1 Normal (default) Administrator’s Guide and Reference /q 2 Minimized 3 Maximized Quiet mode. In quiet mode, PCOMSTRT does not write any messages to stdout. /nowait Do not wait for session to start. The /nowait option tells PCOMSTRT to complete execution without waiting until the emulator session is started. There is no /wait option; the default is to wait until the session is started. /? Displays help information. Returns: DOS Error level is set for use when this command is invoked by a program. When the command is directly entered, a message indicating the session is starting is displayed. Stop a Personal Communications Session The command PCOMSTOP has the following parameters: /s Session letter of session to stop. The syntax is /s=session-letter. This is optional. If omitted, the first available session letter is used. /all Stops all sessions /q Quiet mode. In quiet mode, PCOMSTOP does not write any messages to stdout. /? Displays help information. Returns: DOS Error level is set for use when this command is invoked by a program. When the command is directly entered, a message is displayed indicating the session is stopping. Query Personal Communications Sessions The command PCOMQRY has the following parameters: /s Session letter of session to query, The syntax is /s=session-letter. This is optional. If omitted, the first available session letter is used. /all Queries all sessions. /q Quiet mode. In quiet mode, PCOMQRY does not write any messages to stdout. /nowait Do not wait for session to query. The /nowait option tells PCOMQRY to complete execution without waiting until the emulator session is queried. There is no /wait option; the default is to wait until the session is queried. /? Displays help information. Chapter 3. Advanced Configuration 31 32 Administrator’s Guide and Reference Chapter 4.

TCP/IP Protocol Driver You must set up your Windows environment for the TCP/IP network. To verify that the TCP/IP protocol is installed on your workstation, view the properties for your network connection. Confirm that TCP/IP appears in the list of components for the connection. You can modify the TCP/IP properties, such as the IP address. COAX Attachment This section describes factors you should consider when configuring Personal Communications with a coaxial attachment. © Copyright IBM Corp. 1989, 2004 33 Note: The APPC and CPI-C APIs, provided with Personal Communications, do not support coaxial connections. Avoiding Machine Check 207 Patch the microcode of the 3174 control unit. The following list shows the relationship between 3174 control unit microcode levels and patch IDs: Microcode Level Patch ID S0503 PCA53D1 S0504 PCA53D2 A0503 PCA53D3 A0504 PCA53D4 B0200 PCA53D5 B0401 PCA53D6 B0402 PCA53D8 C0101 PCA53D7 In addition, if you have a 3174 with Configuration Support B or higher, you can set the following parameters: v 3174 customization Q126 digit 2=1 to change the COAX timeout from 50 to 100 microseconds. v 3174 customization Q125 digit 4=1 to set command chaining off. Restrictions When your workstation is configured to use a DFT attachment, the following functions and capabilities of the IBM 3174 or 3274 Control Units are not supported: v Programmed symbols on attached workstations v Attachment to port 0 on attached workstations v Database operations v 3270 Diagnostic Reset Dump v Patch facility Configuring a Non-Plug-and-Play Coax Adapter (ISA) See “Adapter Setup Information” on page 42 for more information on configuring IBM coax adapters. LAN via IEEE 802.2 Attachment Following is a description of preinstallation considerations for installing Personal Communications for use on a LAN. For more detailed information, refer to IBM Local Area Network Technical Reference. PIU Size This value is negotiated between your workstation and the host system, unless XID=No is defined on the PU, or the Adjacent CP type has been changed to Host - XID0 in SNA Node Configuration. If this value is not negotiated, the Maximum PIU Size must match the MAXDATA value defined on the host system. Receive Window Count This value is negotiated between your workstation and the host system, unless XID=No is defined on the PU, or the Adjacent CP type has been changed to Host - XID0 in SNA Node Configuration. If this value is not negotiated, the Receive Window Count must match the MAXOUT value defined on the host system. 34 Administrator’s Guide and Reference Using a PCMCIA Token-Ring or Ethernet Card Personal Communications supports the IBM Token-Ring and Ethernet credit card adapters in the same way as it does the full-size adapters. TCP/IP Connection This section provides information, considerations, and restrictions for Personal Communications TCP/IP connections. TCP/IP Protocol Driver You must set up your Windows environment for the TCP/IP network. To verify that the TCP/IP protocol is installed on your workstation, double-click Network in your Control Panel and see if TCP/IP appears in the list of network components. Double-click TCP/IP to specify your IP address and other TCP/IP properties. Screen Size The following four screen sizes are supported for TN3270: 24x80 32x80 43x80 27x132 The following two screen sizes are supported for TN5250: 24x80 27x132 Screen sizes 48x80, 62x160, and 24x132 are supported if your server/host supports the TN3270E protocol. Terminal Type to Be Negotiated with TN3270 The terminal type to be negotiated is set to IBM-3278-2-E, IBM-3278-3-E, IBM-3278-4-E, or IBM3278-5-E according to the screen size that is specified on the Customize Communication 3270 Host panel. If you need to specify IBM-3279-2-E or IBM-3279-3-E (for graphics), add the following line to the [Telnet3270] section in the workstation profile (.WS): TerminalType=3279 TN3287 and TN3270E Connection TN3287 (defined in RFC 1646) and TN3270E (defined in RFC 1647) were tested with following Telnet servers: v Communications Server for Windows v Communications Server for OS/2® v TN3287 Brixton PU2.1 V3.0 – SNA Client Access™ for AIX® Version 1 Release 2 – IBM Communications Server for OS/2 Warp v TN3270E Brixton PU2.1 V3.0 – SNA Client Access for AIX Version 1 Release 2 – IBM Communications Server for OS/2 Warp v Microsoft SNA Server Other TCP/IP Functions Backup Server/Host with LU Name and Port Number: Personal Communications enables you to specify up to two backup host or server names to connect to. This Chapter 4. Attachment Considerations and Adapter Setup Information 35 provides easier connections when the primary host or server cannot be reached. You can also specify a specific LU name or port number unique to that server or host. Service Location Protocol: Personal Communications enables connection to SLP servers that are RFC 2165 compliant. This function eliminates the need for users to know the name of a network host supporting a specific service. SLP implementation for a Personal Communications client allows load balancing and dynamic location of a specific LU or LU pool across a group of servers. IBM Communications Server for Windows 6.1 currently supports SLP. This support can be used in conjunction with SSL support. SDLC MPA Attachment This section describes factors you should consider when configuring Personal Communications with an SDLC attachment. Line Speed For the SDLC attachment, a line speed up to 28.8 Kbps is supported. However, actual line speed will vary depending on the carrier speed the modem supports. V.25bis Autodial Personal Communications only supports the bit-oriented protocol for V.25bis call control messages. Modems must support an ASCII-coded character set consisting of 7-bit coded ASCII characters with odd parity. Personal Communications supports the following adapters: v Multiprotocol (MPA) interface compatible adapters, for example: – IBM Multiprotocol Communications Adapter (73G7099) – IBM Multiprotocol Adapter/A (645114 or later) – IBM SDLC/Async Communications Adapter (ASCA) (42H4332) v IBM SDLC PCMCIA adapter (Japan only) v IBM SDLC PCMCIA modem (Japan only) v IBM PCI Multiprotocol Adapter (12J2981) Performance Considerations If you use multiple sessions in a high-speed and high-load configuration with an SDLC attachment, the connection to the host might fail. In this case, set the host’s timeout value to be greater than that of Personal Communications. v To change the host timeout value, modify the following NCP parameters: REPLYTO The maximum duration in seconds that the host waits for a reply from the terminal. The default is 1 second. RETRIES=(m,t,n) The number of recovery attempts for errors occurring during transmission over the link. Repetitive retries are called a retry sequence. The maximum number of retries is specified as m, which can be from 0 to 128. NCP pause (the time between the retry sequences) is specified as t and can be from 1 to 255 seconds. The maximum number of retry sequences is specified by n and can be from 1 to 127. For example: REPLYTO=1, RETRIES=(3,4,5) (( 1(seconds) x 3(times) + 4(seconds)) x 5(times) = 35 (seconds) 36 Administrator’s Guide and Reference Note: In this example, the host waits 35 seconds for the terminal to reply. For more details, ask your system personnel. v To change the Personal Communications timeout value, type a new value in the Inactivity timer field on the Performance page of the Connections property sheet in SNA Node Configuration. The value is in seconds and can be from 40 to 160. The default is 80. PIU Size: This value is negotiated between your workstation and the host system, unless XID=No is defined on the PU, or the Adjacent CP type has been changed to Host - XID0 in SNA Node Configuration. If this value is not negotiated, the Maximum PIU Size must match the MAXDATA value defined on the host system. Receive Window Count: This value is negotiated between your workstation and the host system, unless XID=No is defined on the PU, or the Adjacent CP type has been changed to Host - XID0 in SNA Node Configuration. If this value is not negotiated, the Receive Window Count must match the MAXOUT value defined on the host system. IBM Global Network - SNA over Async Attachment IBM Global Network - SNA over Async is supported using 8-bit no parity; SNA session-level compression and decompression is not supported. Line Speed Line speeds up to 115.2 Kbps are supported. However, the maximum usable line speed depends on the speed of the processor or communication port. If communication stops or becomes exceedingly slow, reduce the line speed. Updating Phone List To update the phone number list for IBM Global Network SNA over Async, do the following: 1. Click the Use Phone Book button on the Define a Com Port Connection panel. 2. Click the Download Phone Numbers button. Personal Communications FTPs to the IGN server and downloads the phone number file and converts it to the correct format. Note: A Proxy must be configured in order for this procedure to work. IBM Global Network Connection Attachment Note: This attachment type is not available in Japan. IBM Global Network Connection supports only a single communication port. Line Speed IBM Global Network Connection supports up to 115.2 kbps as the line speed. However, the maximum usable line speed depends on the speed of the processor or communication port. If communication stops or becomes exceedingly slow, reduce the line speed. Updating Phone List To update the phone number list for IBM Global Network SNA over Async, click the Download Phone Numbers button from the Configuration panel. When this Chapter 4. Attachment Considerations and Adapter Setup Information 37 button is selected, Personal Communications FTPs to the IGN server and downloads the phone number file and converts it to the correct format. Note: A Proxy must be configured in order for this procedure to work. Restrictions You cannot use the following functions: v Import/Export v Host graphics v Host print v Server-Requester Programming Interface (SRPI) v Concurrent multiple file transfers Home3270 Attachment Because Home3270 supports only a single COM port, only one session is available for use at a time. Setting the Screen Colors in a Home3270 Session Because protocol converters translate the 3270 (EBCDIC) data stream into an ASCII data stream, the original information about the 3270 fields is lost, and all the field attributes of the 3270 screen are treated as extended attributes. Because of this, you must select the Extended Color category in order to change the colors of characters on the screen. Changing base colors will have no effect. For example, if you want to change the color of characters that appear in green on a black background, select Extended Color - Green, then click or drag-and-drop the color you want for the characters (and for the background if you wish). Do not change the appropriate Base Color because the change will have no effect. Line Speed: Line speeds up to 115,200 bps are supported. However, characters might be lost on high-speed lines, depending on the processor speed. If communication stops or becomes exceedingly slow, reduce the line speed. Unsupported Character Sequences: The following character sequences are valid for the Home3270 attachment. However, they perform no function. v ESC P 1 (Block cursor command) v ESC P 0 (Underline cursor command) v DLE DC2 (Printer start command) v DLE DC4 (Printer end command) Conditions for Communication Check 50x: Home3270 requires both Data Set Ready (DSR) and Carrier Detect (CD) to determine the state of the attachment with the host system. If DSR is not recognized, communication check 501 appears in the operator information area. When DSR is recognized and CD is not recognized, communication check 504 appears in the operator information area. When you select ROLMphone with DCM in the Home3270 configuration, communication check 504 does not appear. Home3270 and OIA message COMM 504: If you run Home3270 sessions at a speed of 28.8 kbps or higher and the session disconnects with a COMM504 in the OIA, try lowering the port speed to equal the line speed of the Protocol Converter you are connecting to. Note: DBCS is not available with this attachment. 38 Administrator’s Guide and Reference Restrictions: The following functions are not available with this attachment: v Host graphics v Host print v Server Requester Programming Interface 3270 Attachment via the iSeries System This section provides information, considerations, and restrictions for PC/3270 connections through an eServer i5 or iSeries system. eServer i5 or iSeries System Setup PC/3270 can connect to a host computer through one or more eServer i5 or iSeries systems by using the passthrough function (usable with OS/400 Version 2.2.0 or later, or with i5/OS). To use this function, set the following communication configuration descriptions in the eServer i5 or iSeries system to on (Vary On): v Line description v Controller description v Printer description Error Messages from the eServer i5 or iSeries System When the system is connected to a zSeries host system through an eServer i5 or iSeries system, the following message might appear on the screen. AS/400 CPI5xxx The message might appear for the following reasons: v Line error between the eServer i5 or iSeries system and the host system v Communication configuration description error in the eServer i5 or iSeries system v The communication configuration description in the eServer i5 or iSeries system is set to off (Vary Off) When this message appears, detailed error information is saved in the eServer i5 or iSeries system operator message queue. Refer to the error message that corresponds to the number displayed on the screen and then correct the cause of the error. IBM PC720 Modem Initialization (Japan only) In the Japanese version of Personal Communications, if you use an IBM PC720 and connect it via a dial connection, the error message “COMDIA15 Unable to initialize modem” may appear at startup. To correct this condition, increase the value of Retries in Initialization to more than 1 by using the Modem Information panel. 3174 Peer Communications Support (LAN over Coax) The LAN over Coax function provides peer-to-peer communication for workstations connected to an IBM 3174 Control Unit through an IBM 3270 communication adapter. It provides support for any NDIS protocol stack capable of utilizing the IEEE 802.5 (token-ring) frame format, such as IEEE 802.2 (SNA), NetBIOS, TCP/IP, or LLC2. This function is not supported for Windows 2000 and XP. Chapter 4. Attachment Considerations and Adapter Setup Information 39 Installing LAN over Coax Under Windows 98: 1. On the network Control Panel, choose to install a new adapter. 2. Select the Have Disk option when prompted. 3. Install the program in the XLNCOAX subdirectory in the Personal Communications installation directory. For Windows 98, the .INF file installs the new adapter support and binds the adapter to all valid protocol stacks. To utilize the new adapter, after installing and rebooting, configure Personal Communications to utilize a LAN adapter, and enter the adapter number that corresponds to the 3174 Peer Communications adapter number found under the LLC Protocol for this adapter. The 3174 Peer Communications RPQ is also required on the 3174. Configuring LAN Over Coax For Windows 98, configure by using the Network Control Panel Properties button for the selected adapter. Options: Network Address Overrides the burned-in adapter address. Queued Transmits Number of queued transmit elements to support. Slot Number Required for MCA bus systems, not applicable to others; indicates the adapter to use in a specific MCA slot. On Micro Channel® workstations, you can use up to four type-B 3270 Connection Adapters (but only 1 type A). When you configure Personal Communications, you must specify the physical slot in which each adapter is installed. System Resources: On ISA Bus systems, the following system resources are used: v Interrupt Level 2 v IO address 0x2d0 through 0x2df v Shared memory address 0xce000 These resources are not changeable. On MCA systems, these resources are configured via the MCA adapter configuration, with the exception for the Interrupt number, which is Interrupt 2. Multiple Adapter Coexistence If you use type-B adapters, you can use one or more for DFT connections concurrently with 3174 Peer Communications. If you want to do this, the Peer Communications adapters must be in higher-numbered slots than the DFT adapters because DFT connections will, by design, use the first adapters they find, searching from slot 1. 5250 Twinaxial Console You can configure Personal Communications to act as the console for an eServer i5 or iSeries. If you want to use full-function 5250 emulation, you must not use the console attachment; you must use Twinaxial Data Link Control (APPC). Restrictions: 40 Administrator’s Guide and Reference The Setup API functions of the File menu cannot be used. Copy is the only editing function available. The file transfer function cannot be used. The session type cannot be set to Printer (iSeries). Multiple console sessions cannot be used. The Enhanced Non-programmable Terminal User Interface (ENPTUI) cannot be transferred from the host system. v The PC Organizer cannot be used. v The screen size is always 24x80, even if 27x132 is specified. v The cursor position cannot be moved by the mouse. v v v v v v Twinax Connections through a 5494 Controller to an eServer i5 or iSeries To set up a twinaxial connection to an eServer i5 or iSeries through a 5494 controller: 1.

Adapter Setup Information Creating and Updating Devices in Windows 2000 and XP In Windows 2000 and XP, Personal Communications does not install drivers for communications adapters (Coax, Twinax, MPA, SDLC, WAC). You have to install the drivers and create devices using the Windows Hardware wizard or the Device Manager. You must use that process for both Plug-and-Play and non-Plug-and-Play adapters. The drivers and .INF files are located on the Personal Communications CD-ROM in the \admin\drivers subdirectory. If you are installing Version 5.8 in Windows 2000 or XP over a previous release of Personal Communications, and you are using a communications adapter, you should update the existing driver using the Windows Device Manager. Not all communications adapters listed here are supported for Windows 2000 and XP. Note: For more information about driver installation, updating drivers, and adapter setup in Windows 2000 and XP, refer to the CD-ROM Guide to Installation. Using Coax (3270) Adapters The configuration of IBM ISA-bus, Micro Channel (MCA), and Plug-and-Play coax adapters is described in the following sections. However, Micro Channel adapters are not supported for Windows operating systems. Polling Feature Your workstation might have been configured so that an IBM coax adapter cannot acquire an interrupt request line (IRQ) that it needs in order to function. This situation occurs because other devices have been configured to use these IRQs, so that the IRQs are no longer available. This situation can occur in any supported Windows operating system. In such a situation, the IBM coax adapter may or may not be able to use another available IRQ. The IBM 3278/79 Emulation Adapter (ISA bus) can use only IRQ 9. Other IBM coax adapters, such as the IBM 3270 Credit Card adapter, can use other IRQs than IRQ 9, but all these other usable IRQs may also have been reserved for other devices in the system. If this happens, you can use the polling feature to enable the IBM coax adapter to function without using an IRQ. To activate the polling feature, add the Poll=Y parameter to the [CSDFT] or [CNDFT] section of your workstation profile (*.WS) as follows: v SNA/DFT attachment [CSDFT] Poll=Y 42 Administrator’s Guide and Reference <-- add v Non SNA/DFT attachment [CNDFT] Poll=Y <-- add For an IBM 3270 Credit Card adapter, the polling feature is automatically activated, without Poll=Y being added to the .WS file. Plug-and-Play Adapters You cannot use multiple 3270 PnP adapters, nor can you use a 3270 PnP at the same time as a 3278/79 Emulation or 3270 Connection Adapter. Configure Personal Communications in the normal way. The Plug-and-Play radio button is active and you do not have to configure the buffer address. For Windows 98, the first time that you insert the 3270 Emulation Credit Card Adapter into a PCMCIA slot or start your PC with the PCI card installed, Windows will prompt you for the location of the .INF file for the card. The .INF file is located in the directory where Personal Communications is installed. Note: Removing the card while you have an active connection will have unpredictable results. ISA-Bus Adapters 3278/79 Emulation Adapter: This adapter has a fixed I/O-port address and interrupt level (IRQ), but you have to set the memory address, which you can do only through the Personal Communications configuration. The buffer address must be set. The default is CE000. If you happen to know that this address is already being used by another device, you should change it, but, when you first try to connect, Personal Communications will check the registry to find an available address anyway. In Windows 2000 and XP, if Personal Communications cannot acquire a system resource (that is, an IRQ, a memory address, or an I/O address) needed by this adapter, Personal Communications displays an error panel identifying the unavailable resource. For an IRQ conflict (this adapter uses IRQ 9 only), Personal Communications automatically tries to activate the polling feature instead of using IRQ 9; if this succeeds then no error panel is displayed. For a memory address conflict, you should use the Personal Communications coax adapter configuration panel to select another memory address. For an I/O address conflict, you should reconfigure the device that is using the I/O address to use some other I/O address. MicroChannel Adapters IBM 3270 Connection Adapter: Micro Channel adapters need the same types of resource as ISA-bus but configuration is much easier because the resources are all set by the workstation’s hardware configuration and Personal Communications is able to read them. Configure Personal Communications in the normal way. The default buffer address will be the one set in the system configuration. You should not change it. Note: MicroChannel adapters are not supported for Windows operating systems. Chapter 4. Attachment Considerations and Adapter Setup Information 43 3270 ISA-Bus and MCA Adapters and ROM Shadowing These adapters use 8KB of workstation memory; the default values for the memory addresses are as follows: v Adapter #0 CE000h - CFFFFh v Adapter #1 D0000h - D1FFFh v Adapter #2 D2000h - D3FFFh v Adapter #3 D4000h - D5FFFh Some types of workstation might use these areas, by default, for ROM shadowing in BIOS (the IBM PC350 for example). You should check the ROM-shadowing settings before installing an adapter, and disable the range that will be used by the adapter that you are going to install. Coax Adapters and ROM Shadowing: Personal Communications maps the shared RAM of the 3270 connection adapter on the PC. The default values for the adapters as follows: v Adapter #0 CE000h - CFFFFh v Adapter #1 D0000h - D1FFFh v Adapter #2 D2000h - D3FFFh v Adapter #3 D4000h - D5FFFh Workstations that support ROM shadowing in BIOS might use these areas for ROM shadowing by default (IBM PC350 P100, for example). Check the ROM shadowing settings before installing an adapter and disable the range for the adapter you are going to install. Twinax Adapters Twinax Adapter Types Personal Communications classifies twinax adapters under five adapter types: v IBM 5250 Plug-and-Play Adapters – IBM 5250 Emulation PCMCIA Adapter – IBM 5250 PCMCIA Adapter (DBCS-unique adapter) – IBM 5250 Emulation PCI Adapter – IBM 5250 Express ISA Adapter, when the adapter’s Plug-and-Play BIOS is enabled – IBM 5250 Express PC Card – IBM 5250 Express PCI Adapter v IBM 5250 MicroChannel Adapters – IBM System36/38 Workstation Emulation Adapter /A (DBCS-unique adapter) – IBM 5250 Emulation Adapter /A Note: MicroChannel adapters are not supported for Windows operating systems. v IBM 5250 ISA Adapters – IBM Enhanced 5250 Display Station Emulation Adapter – IBM 5250 Express ISA Adapter, when the adapter’s Plug-and-Play BIOS is disabled v IBM 5250 ISA Adapter (Asia-Pacific) – IBM ISA-Bus Communication Adapter (DBCS-unique adapter) v Other Twinax Adapter 44 Administrator’s Guide and Reference – OEM 5250 adapters Using Twinax (5250) Adapters The configuration of each IBM adapter type is described in the following sections. All the IBM adapters are supported; OEM adapters are supported if their manufacturer has created a device driver that is compatible with the IBM driver. Plug-and-Play Twinax Adapters Before you can use one of the IBM 5250 Plug-and-Play adapters, you must first install a driver for the adapter. IBM 5250 Plug-and-Play Adapter: In Personal Communications, set the Adapter Type to IBM 5250 Plug-and-Play Adapter. You do not have to set the Interrupt Level, I/O Address, or Memory Address fields; these fields are grayed out. Personal Communications automatically reads the interrupt level, I/O address, and memory address from the adapter card. In Windows 98, the first time that you insert the 5250 PCMCIA or PC Card adapter into a PCMCIA slot, or start your PC with the 5250 PCI card or 5250 ISA Express card (with Plug-and-Play BIOS enabled) installed, Windows prompts you for the location of the .INF file for the card. The .INF file is located in the directory where Personal Communications is installed. The file is named IBM5250.INF. If you experience problems getting a host connection with the 5250 Emulation PCI Adapter and you have an IBM personal computer, upgrading the BIOS might solve the problem. You can find the date of your system BIOS by using your system setup when you boot your personal computer. Then you can look on the Internet to see if there is a later version for your personal computer. The IBM File Library Web site that has the latest BIOS upgrade files is located at: www.pc.ibm.com/listfiles.html From there you can search for your specific IBM personal computer. If there is a flash BIOS upgrade date later than that on your personal computer, download the file to your personal computer and follow the instructions that come with the file. For non-IBM personal computers, contact the manufacturer of your personal computer for BIOS upgrade information. ISA-Bus Twinax Adapters IBM 5250 ISA Adapter: In Personal Communications, set the adapter type to IBM 5250 ISA Adapter. You must then set the interrupt level, I/O address, and Memory address to match the values set on the adapter card. For a new configuration, Personal Communications shows the default settings. To view or change the settings on the adapter card, use the adapter configuration utility provided with the adapter. For the IBM Enhanced 5250 Display Station Emulation Adapter only, change the I/O address using switches on the adapter itself. Note: Removing a 5250 PCMCIA card or 5250 PC Card, or stopping a PCMCIA adapter slot containing a 5250 PCMCIA card or 5250 PC Card, will have unpredictable results. IBM 5250 ISA Adapter (Asia-Pacific): In Personal Communications, set the adapter type to IBM 5250 ISA Adapter (Asia-Pacific). You must then set the interrupt level and memory address to match the values set on the adapter card. For a new configuration, Personal Communications shows the default settings. The Chapter 4. Attachment Considerations and Adapter Setup Information 45 I/O Address field is grayed out; you do not need to set this field. Personal Communications automatically reads the I/O address from the adapter card. To change the I/O address on the adapter card, use the switches on the adapter itself. To view the I/O address, or to view or change the interrupt level or memory address on the adapter card, use the adapter configuration utility provided with the adapter. MicroChannel Adapters IBM 5250 MicroChannel Adapter: In Personal Communications, set the adapter type to IBM 5250 MicroChannel Adapter. You do not have to set the Interrupt Level, I/O Address, or Memory Address fields; these fields are grayed out. Personal Communications automatically reads the interrupt level, I/O address, and memory address from the adapter card. Note: MicroChannel adapters are not supported for Windows operating systems. MPA Adapters Preventing Conflicts with Non-PCI MPA Adapters The multiprotocol adapters use system resources that, in some cases, cannot be shared. Therefore, you must make sure there are no conflicts with the following resources: v DMA level v I/O addresses (MPA0 uses X'380'–X'38F' and MPA1 uses X'3A0'–X'3AF') v IRQ level (ISA bus only) The IBM Multiprotocol interface adapters use the following system resources: v The ISA-bus SDLC adapters require the use of IRQ3 and DMA channel 1 and only the MPA0 communication port is supported. v The MPA for ISA can be supported using mode 4 (IRQ3 and DMA1 channel 1) or mode A (IRQ4 and DMA channel 1). IRQ level send/receive of 3 or 4 is supported. The ASCA can be supported using mode 4 (IDQ3 or IRQ5 or IRQ4 or IRQ7 and DMA channel 1) or mode A (IRQ4 or IRQ7 and DMA channel 1). IRQ level send/receive or 3, 4, 5, or 7 is supported. The interrupt level setting on the configuration panel in Personal Communications must match the value on the adapter card. Note: When the MPA is configured for mode 4, the device is not allowed to use the other IRQ even though only one interrupt is claimed. Personal Communications supports the MPA0 or MPA1 communication ports. Some sound cards use an I/O address within the range X'380'–X'38F'. MPA1 should be used to avoid a conflict. v The MPA/A for a microchannel-bus workstation uses IRQ3, and the DMA level can be configured. Both the MPA0 and MPA1 communication ports can be active at the same time and the interrupt is claimed as sharable. IBM SDLC PCMCIA Adapter and Modem (Japan Only) For Windows 98: The support uses the Configuration Manager for Plug-and-Play support, which automatically configures IRQ number, I/O ports, and memory addresses as required. IBMSDLC.INF (installed in the Personal Communications installation directory) describes the SDLC PCMCIA cards to the operating system. When you insert the PCMCIA card, Windows 98 prompts you for the adapter drivers. You must specify the Personal Communications installation directory and 46 Administrator’s Guide and Reference click OK. To verify that the adapter is functioning properly, select the appropriate PCMCIA adapter under Other Devices on the Device Manager property page of the System Windows control panel applet. For Windows NT: Plug-and-Play is not supported. During installation the registry is updated, using default parameters. When the configuration is started and an incoming or outbound connection is enabled, the device attempts to load, using the stored parameters from the registry. If a card is found and a conflict is detected, the registry is updated with values that do not conflict and you are notified to restart the system. Note: The system must be restarted for these values to take effect. Only one SDLC PCMCIA card can be used at a time. Because a common driver supports both SDLC PCMCIA and MPA interface cards, an MPA cannot be used concurrently with SDLC PCMCIA. For Windows 2000 and XP, see “Creating and Updating Devices in Windows 2000 and XP” on page 42. IBM SDLC PCMCIA Adapter: The IBM SDLC PCMCIA adapter supports: v Leased and switched connections v Speeds up to 19.2 Kbps v Switched and Constant Request To Send (RTS) v NRZ and NRZI encoding schemes The IRQ number on the device page’s adapter property sheet is ignored. IBM SDLC PCMCIA Modem: The IBM SDLC PCMCIA modem supports: v Switched V.26bis connections only v Speeds up to 2400 baud v Switched RTS only The configured value on the constant RTS and IRQ level send/receive device page’s adapter property sheet are ignored. IBM PCI Multiprotocol Adapter Refer to the Quick Installation Guide in the PCI Multiprotocol Adapter User’s Guide for instructions on installing this adapter under Windows 98 and Windows NT. Two IBM PCI Multiprotocol Adapters can operate concurrently. The configuration specifies one adapter with Communication Port MPA0 and the second adapter with Communication Port MPA1. When the link is activated, MPA0 is the first PCI Multiprotocol Adapter that the operating system finds and MPA1 is the second adapter found. If more than one PCI Multiprotocol adapter is installed on a machine and you are unsure which adapter the operating system will find first, you may want to perform an isolated test to determine which adapter is connected to which Communication Port. One suggestion is to disconnect the modems connected to the adapter from the telephone line and then try to start each link individually. By watching the modems, you should be able to determine which modem is connected to which Communication Port. Then the modems can be attached to the proper network. If a single PCI Multiprotocol Adapter is used, the configuration file must specify MPA0 as the Communication Port. Chapter 4. Attachment Considerations and Adapter Setup Information 47 Note: If a Personal Communications configuration is using this adapter, and a PCI MPA adapter is added or removed from the system, Personal Communications may have to be reconfigured. An ISA-bus MPA and IBM PCI Multiprotocol Adapter can be used concurrently, as long as the ISA-bus MPA adapter is configured as MPA1. The IBM PCI Multiprotocol Adapter supports: v Leased and switched connections v Speeds up to 56 kbps v Switched and Constant Request To Send (RTS) v NRZ and NRZI encoding schemes The IRQ number on the device page adapter property sheet is ignored. WAC Attachments This section describes factors you should consider when configuring Personal Communications to communicate through a Wide Area Connector (WAC) adapter. EIB Support All available Electrical Interface Boards (EIBs) are supported for the WAC adapter. Supported Adapters The IBM WAC adapters for bus types ISA and MCA are supported. Note: At this time, the new IBM PCI bus WAC adapter is not supported by Personal Communications. Potential Configuration Issues When configuring both ports (upper and lower) on a single WAC adapter, you must create two logical devices, using the configuration utility. Be careful to configure the same Shared Ram Address for both devices, using the same adapter number. If you do not do this, the Shared Ram Address for the first device activated will be used for the second device. For ISA systems, the adapter number is obtained from the interpretation of the on-board DIP switch settings. Switches 1-3 determine the Interrupt level, and switches 4-7 (read in reverse order) determine the adapter number. Please consult the adapter installation publication for additional information. Adapter numbers 0 and 1 are logically the same. This is also true for adapter numbers 8 and 9. On some IBM ValuePoint systems, intermittent problems can occur. If you are using one of these systems and are having problems, ensure that the adapter’s DIP switch settings are such that Interrupt Level 9 is being used. If you intend to use the WAC adapter in a system and you also plan on using Hayes AutoSync function, then you might experience problems with your async connection. To find appropriate Shared Memory values, you should use the adapter diagnostic disk provided with the adapter. For MCA systems, the adapter number is the slot number in which the adapter physically resides. You can easily obtain this number via the MCA Configuration utility that was provided with your system. For IBM systems, you can determine this number by looking at the back of the system unit and providing the number displayed for the selected slot. 48 Administrator’s Guide and Reference System Resources The Wide Area Connector adapter utilizes the following system resources per each adapter installed: v 32 bytes of IO addresses (differs depending upon the adapter number used on ISA; see Help on the Configuration panel for additional information, or through MCA adapter configuration) v Interrupt level (the same level can be used on MCA if all adapters share the same, ISA adapters must have unique interrupt numbers) v 16 KB of shared memory For ISA adapters, you should consult your WAC installation publication for information concerning the IRQ used and the adapter number configured, both of which are configured through the adapter’s DIP switches. The following sections provide additional information about configuring adapters, including PCMCIA and PCI cards. OEM Adapters Personal Communications has an open API that enables vendors and other equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to provide adapter cards that allow for additional connectivity options, for example, additional X.25, ISDN, SDLC, or twinax support. After installing the OEM adapter, you can begin to configure it in the usual manner described in Quick Beginnings. However, at some point in the configuration process you may need to provide information required by the manufacturer of the OEM adapter card. OEM Twinax Adapter Cards Developers of software drivers for OEM twinax cards that are seeking to implement support for Personal Communications on an OEM twinax adapter should obtain a copy of the document Twinax OEM Interface Specification for Windows NT and Windows 95, as well as associated program materials. You can download these at www.ibm.com/software/network/pcomm/about/api/twinax.html. The documented interface does not support the Microsoft Windows Driver Model (WDM) for Windows 98 and Windows 2000. However, the interface does work with legacy drivers in Windows 98 and 2000. Chapter 4. Attachment Considerations and Adapter Setup Information 49 50 Administrator’s Guide and Reference Chapter 5. System Policy Support System policies allow you to control the actions that a user is permitted to perform. A policy can be defined by any application or component. The policy appears in the administrator user interface; information that you set about the policy migrates to the local computer’s registry. The application or component that defines a policy must check the registry to enforce its own policy. Policy information is typically added to a local registry in the following sequence: 1. Categories, policies, and parts are described in a policy template (*.ADM) file. The Microsoft Resource Kit and Windows NT Server Version 4.0 and higher include three policy template files: WINNT.ADM, COMMON.ADM, and WINDOWS.ADM. Applications or components can also provide their own policy template files. Note: Personal Communications supplies a policy template for each language currently supported. The templates are on the installation CD-ROM in the admin directory. For example, the policy template for the US English language is named ENUPOL.ADM and the policy template for the French language is named FRAPOL.ADM. 2. You run the policy editor, which reads one or more policy templates and lists the available categories and policies. You set up the desired policies, and the policy editor uses registry functions to save the work to a policy (*.POL) file. The system policy editor is supplied with Microsoft NT Server; a group policy editor is provided with Windows 2000 and Windows XP. Documentation about the use of Microsoft policy editors can be found at http://www.microsoft.com. 3. After the user logs on (and user profiles are reconciled if they are enabled), the policy downloader determines where to find the file on the network, opens the policy file, and merges the appropriate computer, user, and user group policies into the local registry. Note: When using the group policy editor provided with Windows 2000, the Not Configured setting allows the same permission or access to features as the Enabled setting. IBM Personal Communications provides its own policy template file (PCSPOL.ADM). It contains one category of type USER. Within the IBM Personal Communications category are the following policies: Configuration Contains policy information related to configuration Execution Contains policy information related to execution Installation Contains policy information related to uninstallation © Copyright IBM Corp. 1989, 2004 51 Configuration Policy Use the configuration policy to define user access to the following configurations: Communication Controls the user’s ability to change configuration information pertaining to communication.

System Policy Support 59 60 Administrator’s Guide and Reference Chapter 6. Configuring and Using Security for Personal Communications Personal Communications provides session security using IBM Global Security Kit (GSKit) and Microsoft CryptoAPI (MSCAPI). These packages enable use of the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) security protocols. The configuration information in this chapter usually applies to both TLS and SSL. See “Using Transport Layer Security” on page 83 for more information about how TLS extends the SSL protocol. You can display information about the security aspects of your session by clicking Communication → Security Information from the session menu bar. This provides details about the certificates exchanged during TLS/SSL negotiations between client and server. A TLS/SSL session is established in the following sequence: 1. The client and the server exchange hello messages to negotiate the encryption algorithm and hashing function (for message integrity) to be used for the session. 2. The client requests an X.509 certificate from the server to verify the identity of the server. Optionally, the server can request a certificate from the client (known as Client Authentication). The digital signature of the certificate authority (CA) is authenticated using a published root certificate of the issuing CA. The client automatically decrypts certain information on the presented certificate using a public key on the CA’s root certificate. This step is successful only when the presented certificate was encrypted using a well-guarded, unique, and corresponding private key, known only to the CA. This process can detect (and reject) intentional alterations (forgeries) and the rare garbling that can occur over data circuits. Personal Communications also allows users to use self-signed certificates for this purpose. 3. Once the certificate-issuer authentication step succeeds, the client and server negotiate for an encryption key to be used during the ensuing data exchange session. The client randomly generates a set of keys to be used for encryption. The keys are encrypted with the server’s public key and are securely communicated to the server. When a secure connection is established, a padlock icon is displayed in the Personal Communications status bar. Depending on the level of encryption, the icon is accompanied by a number (0, 40, 56, 128, 168, 256). If the session is not TLS/SSL-based, the icon shows as unlocked. Certificates Security is controlled by digital certificates that act as electronic ID cards. The purpose of a certificate is to assure a program or a user that it is safe to allow the proposed connection and (if encryption is involved) to provide the necessary encryption/decryption keys. They are usually issued by Certificate Authorities (CAs), which are organizations that are trusted by the industry as a whole and © Copyright IBM Corp. 1989, 2004 61 who are in the business of issuing of Internet certificates. A CA’s certificate, which is also known as a root certificate, includes the CA’s signature and a validity period, among other things. Encryption and authentication are performed by means of a pair of keys, one public and one private. The public key is embedded in a certificate, known as a site or server certificate. The certificate contains several items of information, including the name of the Certificate Authority (CA) that issued the certificate, the name and public key of the server or client, the CA’s signature, and the date and serial number of the certificate. The private key is created when you create a self-signed certificate or a CA certificate request and is used to decrypt messages from clients. Certificate Migration Personal Communications Version 5.8 provides a utility for migrating personal or signer certificates from GSKit to MSCAPI. Click the Certificate Migration icon in the IBM Personal Communications → Administrative and PD Aids menu to start the utility. You will be required to enter the key database password. The utility can be used to automatically migrate the selected certificate in the following paths: v From GSKit Personal store to Windows Personal store v From GSKit Signer store to Windows Trusted Root Certificate Authority store You can also manually place certificates in each of the stores. Managing Certificates in the Microsoft Certificate Stores In order to connect secure sessions using the Microsoft CryptoAPI (MSCAPI) security package, the appropriate certificates must exist in the Microsoft Certificate Stores. To connect to a secure host, the root certificate of the host certificate’s verification chain must be in the Trusted Root Certification Authorities store. To connect a secure client authentication session, the client certificate must be in the Personal store. To add, remove, and view certificates in the Microsoft Certificate Stores, select Internet Options in the Windows Control Panel. On the Content tab, click Certificates. The tabs represent the different Microsoft Certificates Stores. Each tab shows the certificates that exist within each store. To add a certificate to a store, click Import; the Certificate Import wizard helps you import certificates from a file. The Import wizard can import certificates from several types of certificate files, including the ARM, DER, and P12 formats that can be extracted or exported from the Certificate Management utility. Configuring and Using Secure Sockets Layer The purpose of basing communications on SSL is to provide privacy and integrity during communication over an unsecured TCP/IP connection between a client and a target server. This section briefly describes how to configure the Personal Communications client to use this mode. Personal Communications provides two ways to manage certificates for use with the GSKit security package: v “Using Certificate Management” on page 67 62 Administrator’s Guide and Reference v “Using the IKEYCMD Command-Line Interface” on page 73 Preparation for TLS/SSL Communication There is a division of labor for SSL configuration tasks. The configurations of the client and the server are coordinated to achieve the required compatibility. The following sections describe the preparation tasks required for client configuration and server configuration. Server and Related Client Configuration The administrator of a target server must have completed at least one of the following: v Equip the server with an appropriate class X.509 certificate from a well-known Certificate Authority (CA). The administrator will have created a public/private key pair, submitted a request to the CA for a certificate, and received and activated that server certificate. By definition a well-known CA is one whose root certificates are already stored in the Personal Communications PCommClientKeyDb.kdb database file or Microsoft Certificate Store—see “Connecting to a Server Using a Certificate from a Well-Known CA” on page 68 for a list of these. Note: You must also equip the client with an X.509 personal certificate from the same certificate authority (CA) to enable client authentication. v Equip the server with an appropriate class X.509 certificate from an unknown CA. The procedure is the same as the step above with the added necessity of obtaining the root certificate from the unknown CA. Usually the administrator of the target server will distribute the appropriate root certificate which must then be added to the PCommClientKeyDb.kdb database file. Note: You must also equip the client with an X.509 personal certificate from the same certificate authority (CA) to enable client authentication. v Equip the server with a self-signed X.509 certificate. The administrator of the target server can do this as an interim measure while waiting for a CA’s certificate. A copy of that certificate must be added to the client PCommClientKeyDb.kdb database file. The distribution must be done in a secure manner to guard the privacy and integrity offered by SSL. Notes: 1. You must also equip the client with an X.509 personal certificate from the same certificate authority (CA) to enable client authentication. 2. You must also add a copy of this certificate to the server’s key database. Client Configuration The following elements must be configured on the client side to enable TLS/SSL using the GSKit security package: v PCommClientKeyDb.kdb is a certificate management database that is automatically created in the user-class application data directory when Personal Communications is installed. It is password protected. The default password is pcomm and is generated when PCommClientKeyDb.kdb is initially created by Personal Communications. To assure the continued integrity of PCommClientKeyDb.kdb, change the default password to a password or passphrase that is not easily guessed. See “Changing the Password of a Client’s Key Database” on page 67 for instructions on changing the password. As installed, this database contains a list of well-known CAs and their root certificates that will be sufficient for the majority of TLS/SSL client users for server-side authentication. If the target server uses a certificate from one of those Chapter 6. Configuring and Using Security for Personal Communications 63 well-known CAs, the client user does not need to modify the PCommClientKeyDb.kdb other than to change the default password for server-side authentication. See the notes in “Server and Related Client Configuration” on page 63. v PCommClientKeyDb.sth is a password stash file that is automatically created when Personal Communications is installed. By default, Personal Communications clients try to use the password stash file at runtime. The password or passphrase used to protect PCommClientKeyDb.kdb is encrypted and stored in this stash file for use by Personal Communications. Every time the password is changed on PCommClientKeyDb.kdb, this stash file must be regenerated. Otherwise, TLS/SSL mode will not operate. See “Changing the Password of a Client’s Key Database” on page 67 for instructions on changing the password. Note: The use of a password stash file is strongly discouraged; the protection for these files is not strong. Personal Communications allows the option to not use the PCommClientKeyDb.sth password stash file. In order to operate without the stash file, erase the PCommClientKeyDb.sth file from the user-class application data directory; then, during TLS/SSL session configuration, select the Prompt for Password Once radio button in the Security Setup → Advanced dialog. This option is available only for GSKit security. v Security must be enabled in order to operate in TLS/SSL mode. A client operating in TLS/SSL mode cannot establish a connection with a server that is operating in ordinary Telnet mode. Likewise, a client operating in ordinary Telnet mode cannot establish a connection with a server operating in TLS/SSL mode. See “Configuring Personal Communications Session Security” on page 65 for information about enabling security. v Select Send Personal Certificate to Server if Requested on the Security Setup property page for client authentication. If this option is not selected, only server-side authentication is performed. If the server requests a client certificate and this option is not selected, there will be no active connection. See “Opening a Key Database and Adding a Root Certificate” on page 68 for details. To add, remove, and view certificates in the Microsoft Certificate Stores, select Internet Options in the Windows Control Panel. On the Content tab, click Certificates. The tabs represent the different Microsoft Certificates Stores. Each tab shows the certificates that exist within each store. Establishing a Secure Session Upon establishing a preliminary connection with a target server, the Personal Communications client is presented a certificate by that server; if you have enabled client certificate authentication, your certificate is likewise presented to the server. The digital signature of the CA is authenticated using a published root certificate of the issuing CA. The client automatically decrypts certain information on the presented certificate using a public key on the CA’s root certificate. This step is successful only when the presented certificate was encrypted using a well-guarded, unique, and corresponding private key, known only to the CA. This process can detect (and reject) intentional alterations (forgeries) and the rare garbling that can occur over data circuits. Personal Communications also allows users to use self-signed certificates for this purpose. Note that Windows Me and Windows 98 do not support self-signed client 64 Administrator’s Guide and Reference certificates. If you attempt to connect a client authentication session using the Microsoft CryptoAPI security provider and a self-signed client certificate, the connection will fail. Once this certificate-issuer authentication step succeeds, the client and server negotiate to agree on an encryption key to be used during the ensuing data exchange session. Configuring Personal Communications Session Security Whether you are configuring a TN3270, TN5250, or VT session, the underlying protocol must be TCP/IP. Use the following procedure to enable security: 1. Start a workstation profile from the Session Manager; or, from an active session, click Configure from the Communication menu. When the dialog box opens, click Configure. 2. In the Customize Communication panel, choose the appropriate Type of Host, Interface, and Attachment values for the desired Telnet host. 3. Click Link Parameters. 4. On the Host Definition property page, do the following: a. Specify the normal host name and LU parameters under Primary. b. Specify the Port Number under Primary. It is likely that it will not be the default port value for Telnet. The administrator of the destination server might have set up a specific port number to handle TLS/SSL service. 5. On the Security Setup property page, check Enable Security. For server authentication only, no additional setup is required. For client authentication, proceed to the next step. 6. On the Security Setup property page, select the IBM Global Security Kit (GSKit) or Microsoft CryptoAPI (MSCAPI) security package. 7. For GSKit, you can click Advanced to control key ring access password options and Smart Card setup. In the Key Ring Access group box, you can choose whether or not to use the key database password stash file. Select Use Password Stash (STH) File to use key database stash file and not be prompted for the key database file password. You can use this option with or without the Client Authentication function. Select Cryptographic Support to enable Smart Card use. Click Setup to enter module and token information. See “Smart Card Support in GSKit” on page 71 for more information. 8. Use the Security Protocol drop-down list to choose TLS or SSL protocol for negotiation of the secure session. If you select TLS, Personal Communications attempts to negotiate the secure session using the TLS protocol. If the server does not support TLS, Personal Communications steps down to the SSLv3 protocol. If you select SSL only, Personal Communications attempts to negotiate the secure session utilizing the SSLv3 protocol. If the server side does not support SSLv3, Personal Communications steps down to the SSLv2 protocol. 9. For TLS security, you can select FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standard) mode. When this option is enabled, only FIPS-approved ciphers are used. For GSKit, the following FIPS-approved cipher suites are available: v TLS_RSA_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA v TLS_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA Chapter 6. Configuring and Using Security for Personal Communications 65 v TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA v TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA For MSCAPI, the following FIPS-approved cipher suites are available: v TLS_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA v TLS_RSA_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA v TLS_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA v TLS_RSA_EXPORT1024_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA v TLS_RSA_EXPORT1024_WITH_RC4_56_SHA 10. Enable Check for Server Name and Certificate Name Match to have the session authenticate the server by matching the server name to the host or server certificate name. The server and certificate names must match exactly. For MSCAPI sessions, if the certificate name and server name do not match, an error is returned. For GSKit sessions, if the host certificate name does not match the name of the host to which are connecting, the session is terminated. 11. In the Client Authentication group box, you determine when and how the client certificate will be chosen for sending to the server. If you want to enable client authentication and have the personal client certificate from the key database file sent to the server when requested, check Send Personal Certificate to Server if Requested. Send Personal Certificate Trusted by Server Select this option if you do not want to be prompted to select a personal client certificate from a key database file. Personal Communications will send the personal client certificate trusted by the server. Send Personal Certificate based on Key Usage Use this option to select one or more key usages. Click Key Usage to select the defined Object ID (OID) key usages. Go to the Extended Key Usage panel to add a new OID and description to the list. At authentication time, Personal Communications chooses certificates for client authentication, based on the key usage that you select. If a certificate’s Enhanced Key Usage attribute contains one or more of the OIDs that you specify, the certificate is eligible for use. If no eligible certificates are found, the authentication fails. If one eligible certificate is found, it is automatically used. If two or more eligible certificates are found, you will be prompted to select a personal client certificate. Select or Prompt for Personal Client Certificate Use this option if you want to choose the personal client certificate. You will be prompted to select a personal client certificate during session establishment, when the server requests the client certificate. To preselect a personal client certificate during configuration, click Select now and choose the Personal Certificate Label. Pop-up Messages During session establishment, your workstation may display pop-up messages in order to solicit from you: v The password for accessing the PCommClientKeyDb.kdb database v The location of the PCommClientKeyDb.kdb 66 Administrator’s Guide and Reference If you chose to be prompted for personal client certificate information, the Select Client Personal Certificate Label Name screen is displayed at connection time, when the server requests the client personal certificate. The Server Certificate Information list box displays the information about the certificate issued to the server, as well as the issuer. Information includes common name, organization, locality and e-mail. This is provided for information purpose only; none of the information can be selected. The Server Trusted Root List list box displays the information about the trusted root supported by the server. This is also provided for information purpose only; none of the information can be selected. Click the Select Personal Certificate Label Name drop-down list and select the personal certificate to be sent to the server for client authentication. Click OK after selection. If you chose to be prompted once for the key database password, the Enter Key Database Password screen is displayed at connection time, when the server requests the client personal certificate. Enter the key database password and click OK. Changing the Password of a Client’s Key Database The key database file created when Personal Communications is installed has a default set of root certificates that will handle a majority of server certificates without modification to the file. This initial file is accessible using certificate management. The default password pcomm. Certificates can be managed using Certificate Manager or the IKEYCMD command-line interface. Using Certificate Management To change the password using Certificate Management, do the following: 1. From the Start → Programs → IBM Personal Communications → Utilities menu, select Certificate Management. 2. From the Key Database File menu, select Open. 3.

Configuring and Using Security for Personal Communications 67 Connecting to a Server Using a Certificate from a Well-Known CA The following CA signed root certificates are already stored in Personal Communication’s key database and marked as trusted certificates: v Thawte Personal Premium CA v Thawte Personal Freemail CA v Thawte Personal Basic CA v Thawte Premium Server CA v Thawte Server CA v RSA Secure Server CA v VeriSign Class 1 Public Primary CA v VeriSign Class 2 Public Primary CA v v v v v VeriSign VeriSign VeriSign VeriSign VeriSign Class 3 Public Primary CA Test CA Root Certificate Class 1 CA Individual Subscriber-Persona Not Validated Class 2 CA Individual Subscriber-Persona Not Validated Class 3 CA Individual Subscriber-Persona Not Validated Following is a summary of the steps required for connecting to a server using a certificate issued by a well-known CA: 1. Confirm that the server you want to connect to has a certificate from a well-known CA. 2. Configure Personal Communications for TLS/SSL support. See “Configuring Personal Communications Session Security” on page 65 for details. Connecting to a Server Using a Certificate from an Unknown CA The procedures in this section explain how to configure security for connecting to a server using a certificate issued by an unknown CA; that is, a CA that is not already defined in the PCommClientKeyDb.kdb file. Following is a summary of the steps required: 1. Confirm that the server you want to connect with has a certificate from an unknown CA. 2. Request the root certificate for the unknown CA from your server administrator. 3. Open the PCommClientKeyDb.kdb file and add the root certificate to it. 4. For client authentication, obtain a personal certificate from this unknown CA and add it to the PCommClientKeyDb.kdb file. Opening a Key Database and Adding a Root Certificate When you get the root certificate file from your server administrator, make sure that it is in one of the following formats, based on the normal file extensions: .ARM Base64-encoded ASCII data (armored 64 format) .DER Binary DER data Only a certificate in one of these formats can be added to the keyring database. 68 Administrator’s Guide and Reference Note: In many cases, instead of providing a root certificate file, the server administrator may create the key database file and password stash file at the server. After adding the root certificate, the server administrator can copy the files to each client. If you do this, it is important that the names and location match as follows: v Key database file: PCommClientKeyDb.kdb v Password stash file: PCommClientKeyDb.sth These files are located in the user-class application data directory. If the server administrator provided only a root certificate file, use the Certificate Management utility to open the key database file and add the root certificate. Using Certificate Management: To use Certificate Management to open a key database and add a root certificate, do the following: 1. From the Start → Programs → IBM Personal Communications → Utilities menu, select Certificate Management. 2. From the Key Database File menu, click Open. 3. Select the PCommClientKeyDb.kdb file. 4. Click Open. 5. Type the password in the Password entry field and click OK. 6. Select Signer Certificates from the drop-down listbox. 7. Click Add to receive the certificate. The Add CA’s Certificate from a File panel appears. 8. Select the format dictated by your server administrator from the Data Type listbox. 9. Type the full path to the root certificate file in the Certificate file name entry field. 10. Click Browse, open the certificate file, and click OK. 11. Enter a label for the certificate and click OK. 12. Click View/Edit. 13. Activate the Set the certificate as a trusted root, and click OK. Opening a Key Database and Adding a Personal Certificate When you get the personal certificate file from your server administrator or a CA, make sure that it is in one of the following formats: v PKCS#12 file v CMS key database file v Keyring file v Base64-encoded ASCII data (armored 64 format) v Binary DER data A personal certificate can also be in a cryptographic device (such as a Smart Card or Fingerprint) or in a browser’s keyring (Windows 2000 and XP only). Using Certificate Management: To use Certificate Management to open a key database and add a personal certificate, do the following: 1. From the Start → Programs → IBM Personal Communications → Utilities menu, select Certificate Management. 2. From the Key Database File menu, click Open. Chapter 6.

Select the format dictated by your server administrator from the Data Type listbox. Type the full path to the root certificate file in the Certificate file name entry field. Click Browse, open the certificate file, and click OK. Enter a label for the certificate and click OK. Obtaining a Personal ID Certificate from a Known Certificate Authority (CA) A personal ID certificate uniquely identifies you, and can be obtained from known certificate authorities. One such certificate authority is VeriSign. To obtain a Personal ID certificate from VeriSign: 1. Open the VeriSign web page at http://digitalid.verisign.com/. 2. Select Personal IDs from the page. 3. Follow the instructions on the next Web page to install a Digital ID (either full-service or trial) in your Web browser or on a cryptographic device, if the device has such capability. After the certificate has been installed in your browser, you must store it in the key database. In Windows 2000 and XP, you can use the Certificate Management utility to open the Microsoft Certificate Store. For other supported Windows operating systems, use the following procedure. 1. From the browser, export the certificate into a new key file. 2. Open the Personal Communications client key database file. 3. Click Export/Import to import the certificate. The Export/Import Key dialog appears. 4. Click the Key button. Note: The key file type must be PKCS#12. 5. Enter the name of the file in the first field, the path to the file in the second field; click OK. 6. At the password prompt, enter your password and click OK. Connecting to a Server Using a Self-Signed Certificate Although using self-signed certificates is not recommended, a server administrator can use them while waiting for a purchased CA certificate. Once the CA certificate 70 Administrator’s Guide and Reference is available, the server and all clients should be reconfigured to switch from the self-signed certificate to the purchased one. Following is a summary of the steps required: 1. Confirm that the server you want to connect with has a self-signed certificate. 2. Request from your server administrator the root certificate for the self-signed certificate. 3. Open the PCommClientKeyDb.kdb file and add the root certificate to it. The steps required by a client in this scenario are the same as those for the Unknown CA scenario. See “Opening a Key Database and Adding a Root Certificate” on page 68 for the steps involved. Note: Windows Me and Windows 98 do not support self-signed client certificates. If you attempt to connect a client authentication session using the Microsoft CryptoAPI security provider and a self-signed client certificate, the connection will fail. Problem Determination Following is some information to help you avoid problems that might be related to TLS/SSL configuration. v With server-side authentication, the common name in the sever’s certificate is always compared to the name you type in the Host Name field on the client. These names must match exactly. You cannot: – Type the IP address in one place and the host name in the other – Type wrt05306 in one place and WTR5306 in the other – Type wtr05036 in one place and wtr05036.raleigh.ibm.com in the other v v v v v Note: This information is available only from the target server administrator. Make sure that TLS or SSL is enabled on both the Personal Communications client and the TLS/SSL server. Makes sure that the port number in the Advanced configuration panel on the client matches the port number defined in the server. For each different server using a self-signed certificate, you must add a copy of each of the server certificates to your keyring. Be sure there is a root certificate of the proper class to correspond with the class and issuer of the certificate on the server. Make sure that the password to your key database has not expired. Note: Notify your server administrator of any problems prior to contacting IBM Service. Smart Card Support in GSKit The GSKit security package includes Smart Card support. A Smart Card is a small electronic device that contains electronic memory and can be used to store a certificate. You can keep the certificate in a local or network accessed file, in Netscape PKCS#11 format. You can specify the location of the certificate in the session preferences, or prompt for the personal client certificate. You can control the timing of prompts for client certificates. You should have a Smart Card reader installed when working with certificates for Smart Card. Table 1 on page 72 displays the supported Smart Card drivers and Chapter 6. Configuring and Using Security for Personal Communications 71 their filenames. Table 1. Supported Netscape PKCS#11-compatible Smart Card Drivers Smart Card Drivers File names ® IBM SecureWay Smartcard w32pk2ig.dll GemPlus/GemSoft Smartcard w32pk2ig.dll ® ibmpkcss.dll IBM Netfinity PSG Chip 1 Rainbow Ikey 1000 Cryptoki22.dll Schlumberger Cryptoflex acpkcs.dll or slbck.dll SCW PKCS 3GI 3-G International 3gp11csp.dll Data Key Dkck232.dll Fortezza Module fort32.dll 1 The system boards in some IBM systems are preconfigured with a Promise of Value (POV) card, a 256-bit encrypted security chip daughtercard attached to the motherboard. If an attempt is made to remove the POV card from the board and install it into another system, the cryptographic key material will be erased, rendering it unusable. This security feature is by design and prevents the cryptographic key migration from one system to another. Therefore, moving this security chip from one board to another is not a supported option. If an attempt is made to move the POV card from one system to another, it may hang on boot and display an error message referring to an invalid machine type and serial number. Enabling Smart Card Support in GSKit Smart Card is only used for the personal certificate—it can only hold one personal certificate and does not hold the signer certificates. The signer certificate or the root and any intermediate certificate of the personal certificate on the Smart Card should be added in the PCommClientKeyDb.kdb file. To enable Smart Card security using the Certificate Management utility, do the following. 1. From the Select Key Database File menu, select Open. 2. From the Key database type drop-down, menu, select Cryptographic Token 3. Locate the appropriate file or enter the file name and location. To enable Smart Card support when configuring a session, do the following: 1. Select Enable Security in the Security Setup panel. 2. Select Send Personal Certificate to Server if Requested. 3. Select Cryptographic Support (PKCS#11). 4. In the Cryptographic Support Setup panel, choose the Netscape Compatible PKCS#11 driver name from the drop-down list. If a driver software provider was not found by Personal Communications, you must enter a Smart Card driver name. 5. If the driver loaded successfully, the Cryptographic Token Label list is displayed. There may be a delay while the certificate labels are loaded. 6. Enter the Cryptographic Token Password for the selected Cryptographic Token Label; this provides access to the PKCS#11 Cryptographic device. You can then access the PKCS#11 Certificate Label Names from the drop-down list. If there is only one Certificate, it will automatically be used. If PKCS#11 Cryptographic support is enabled and a password for the PKCS#11 cryptographic module is not defined during configuration, you will be prompted for the password. 72 Administrator’s Guide and Reference Using the IKEYCMD Command-Line Interface IKEYCMD is a command-line tool that can be used to manage keys, certificates, and certificate requests. It is functionally similar to Certificate Management (IKEYMAN) and is intended to be run from the command line without a graphical interface. Use IKEYCMD for configuration tasks related to public/private key creation and management. You can use IKEYCMD to create key database files for the same key database types that IKEYMAN currently supports. You can also create certificate requests, import CA signed certificates, and manage self-signed certificates. You cannot use IKEYCMD for configuration options that update the server configuration file httpd.conf. To update the server configuration file, you must use the IBM Administration Server. Environment Setup for IKEYCMD Command-Line Interface Use the following procedure to set the environment variables to use the IKEYCMD command-line interface. 1. Set or modify the PATH variable to include the location of the Java executables. This can be done by using the UI, modifying autoexec.bat, or typing the following in a command window: set PATH=c:\Program Files\IBM\Personal Communications\jre\bin;%PATH%; where C:\Program Files\IBM\Personal Communications is the directory where is Personal Communications installed. 2. Set or modify the PATH variable to include the location of the Java executables. This can be done by using the UI, modifying autoexec.bat, or typing the following in a command window: set CLASSPATH=c:\Program Files\ibm\gsk6\classes\cfwk.zip;C:\Program Files\IBM\gsk6\classes\gsk6cls.jar;%CLASSPATH%; Once completed, IKEYCMD should run from any directory. To run an IKEYCMD command, use the following syntax: java com.ibm.gsk.ikeyman.ikeycmd <command> IKEYCMD Syntax The syntax of the IKEYCMD CLI is java com.ibm.gsk.ikeyman.ikeycmd <object> <action> [options] where object is one of the following: -keydb Actions taken on the key database (either a CMS key database file, a WebDB keyring file, or SSLight class). -cert Indicates that the operation applies to a certificate. -certreq Actions taken on a certificate request. -help Display help for the IKEYCMD invocations. -version Display version information for IKEYCMD. Chapter 6. Configuring and Using Security for Personal Communications 73 Action is the specific action to be taken on the object, and options are the options (either required or optional) specified for the object and action pair. Some options may be required for certain object and action pairs. Note: The object and action keywords are position-sensitive and must be in the order indicated in the example. However, options are not position-sensitive and can be typed in any order, provided that they are entered as an option and operand pair.

IKEYCMD Tasks for Personal Communications IKEYCMD command-line interface tasks required for Personal Communications are summarized in the following sections. v v v v “Creating a New Key Database” “Storing the Encrypted Database Password in a Stash File” on page 77 “Creating a New Key Pair and Certificate Request” on page 78 “Creating a Self-Signed Certificate” on page 78 v v v v v “Exporting Keys” on page 79 “Importing Keys” on page 79 “Listing CAs” on page 79 “Storing the CA Certificate” on page 79 “Showing the Default Key in a Key Database” on page 81 See “Summary of Command-Line Invocations” on page 82 for a summary of command-line invocation syntax examples. Creating a New Key Database A key database is a file that the Personal Communications client uses to store one or more key pairs and certificates—this is required to enable secure connections between the Personal Communications client and the Telnet server. Before configuring TLS/SSL communication, you need to have the PCommClientKeyDb.kdb key database file in the Personal Communications application data directory. By default, this file is installed on your machine with Personal Communications and it has a default password of pcomm. It is recommended that you change this initial password the very first time you use Personal Communications. See “Changing the Database Password” on page 77 for instructions on how to change the key database password. To open a key database using the IKEYCMD command-line interface, type the following command: java com.ibm.gsk.ikeyman.ikeycmd -keydb -open -db PCommClientKeyDb.kdb -pw <password> -type cms -expire <days> -stash where: <password> Password is required for each key database operation. The initial password for PCommClientKeyDb.kdb ispcomm. -type 76 The PCommClientKeyDb.kdb used by the Personal Communications client is a CMS database type. Administrator’s Guide and Reference -expire Number of days before password expires. -stash Stashes password for key database. When the -stash option is specified during the key database creation, the password is stashed in the PCommClientKeyDb.sth file. The PCommClientKeyDb.kdb key database file holds all the security information needed by the Personal Communications client. Any additions or changes are made to the existing PCommClientKeyDb.kdb key database file. Setting the Database Password: When you create a new key database, specify a key database password. This password protects the private key. The private key is the only key that can sign documents or decrypt messages encrypted with the public key. Change the key database password frequently. Use the following guidelines when specifying the password: v The password must be from the U.S. English character set. v The password should be at least six characters and contain at least two nonconsecutive numbers. Make sure the password does not consist of publicly obtainable information about you, such as the initials and birth date for you, your spouse, or children. v Stash the password. Note: Keep track of expiration dates for the password. If the password expires, a message is written to the error log. The server will start, but there will not be a secure network connection if the password has expired. Changing the Database Password: To change the database password, type the following command: java com.ibm.gsk.ikeyman.ikeycmd -keydb -changepw -db PCommClientKeyDb.kdb -pw <password> -new_pw<new_password> -expire <days> -stash where: -new_pw New key database password. This password must be different than the old password and cannot be a NULL string. -expire Number of days before the password expires. -stash Stashes password for key database. Storing the Encrypted Database Password in a Stash File: For a secure network connection, store the encrypted database password in a stash file. To store the password while a database is created, type the following command: java com.ibm.gsk.ikeyman.ikeycmd -keydb -create -db <path_to_db>/<db_name>.kdb -pw <password> -type cms -expire <days> -stash To store the password after a database has been created, type the following command: java com.ibm.gsk.ikeyman.ikeycmd -keydb -stashpw -db <db_name>.kdb -pw <password> Registering a Key Database with the Server: The initial configuration setting for the default key database name is key.kdb. If you use key.kdb as your default key Chapter 6. Configuring and Using Security for Personal Communications 77 database name, you do not need to register the database with the server. The server uses the initial setting on the KeyFile directive in the configuration file. If you do not use key.kdb as your default key database name, or, if you create additional key databases, you must register those databases. Creating a New Key Pair and Certificate Request To create a public–private key pair and certificate request, do the following: 1. Type the following command: java com.ibm.gsk.ikeyman.ikeycmd -certreq -create -db PCommClientKeyDb.kdb -pw <password> -size <1024 | 512> -dn<distinguished_name>-file <filename> -label <label> where: -size Key size of 512 or 1024. -label Label attached to certificate or certificate request. Enter an X.500 distinguished name. See Table 3 on page 75 for syntax. -dn Name of file where the certificate request will be stored. By default, Personal Communications uses the name certreq.arm and it should be stored in the application data directory, where the PCommClientKeyDb.kdb key database is located. 2. Verify that the certificate was successfully created. a. View the contents of the certificate request file you created. b. Make sure the key database recorded the certificate request by typing the following command: -file java com.ibm.gsk.ikeyman.ikeycmd -certreq -list -db PCommClientKeyDb.kdb -pw <password> You should see the label that you just created in the list of certificates. Send the newly created file to a certificate authority. 3. Send the newly created file to a certificate authority. Creating a Self-Signed Certificate It usually takes two to three weeks to get a certificate from a well-known certificate authority (CA). While waiting for an issued certificate, use IKEYCMD to create a self-signed server certificate to enable TLS/SSL sessions between clients and the server. Use this procedure if you are acting as your own CA for a private Web network. To create a self-signed certificate, type the following command: java com.ibm.gsk.ikeyman.ikeycmd -cert -create -db PCommClientKeyDb.kdb -pw <password> -size <1024 | 512> -dn <distinguished name> -label <label> -default_cert <yes or no> where: -size Key size 512 or 1024. -label Enter a descriptive comment used to identify the key and certificate in the database. -dn Enter an X.500 distinguished name. See Table 3 on page 75 for syntax. -default_cert Type yes if you want this certificate to be the default certificate in the key database. Otherwise, type no. 78 Administrator’s Guide and Reference Exporting Keys To export keys to another key database or to export keys to a PKCS#12 file, type the following command: java com.ibm.gsk.ikeyman.ikeycmd -cert -export -db PCommClientKeyDb.kdb -pw <password> -label <label>-type <cms | sslight> -target <filename> -target_pw <password> -target_type <cms | sslight | pkcs12> -encryption <strong | weak> where: -label Label attached to the certificate. -target Destination file or database. -target_pw Password for the target key database. -target_type Type of the database specified by -target operand. -encryption Strength of encryption. Default is strong. Importing Keys To import keys from another key database, type the following command: java com.ibm.gsk.ikeyman.ikeycmd -cert -import -db <filename> -pw <password> -label <label> -type <cms | sslight> -target <filename> -target_pw <password> -target_type <cms | sslight> To import keys from a PKCS#12 file, type the following command: java com.ibm.gsk.ikeyman.ikeycmd -cert -import -file <filename> -pw <password> -type pkcs12 -target <filename> -target_pw <password> -target_type <cms | sslight> where: -label Label attached to the certificate. -target Destination database. -target_pw Password for the key database if -target specifies a key database. -target_type Type of database specified by -target operand. Listing CAs To display a list of trusted CAs in the PCommClientKeyDb.kdb key database, type the following command: java com.ibm.gsk.ikeyman.ikeycmd -cert -list CA -db PCommClientKeyDb.kdb -pw <password>-type cms Storing the CA Certificate Receiving a CA-Signed Certificate: Use this procedure to receive an electronically mailed certificate from a certificate authority (CA), designated as a trusted CA on your server. By default, the following CA certificates are stored in the PCommClientKeyDb.kdb key database and marked as trusted CA certificates: v IBM World Registry™ CA v Integrion CA Root (from IBM World Registry) v VeriSign Class 1 Public Primary CA Chapter 6. Configuring and Using Security for Personal Communications 79 v v v v v v v VeriSign Class 2 Public Primary CA VeriSign Class 3 Public Primary CA VeriSign Class 4 Public Primary C VeriSign Test CA RSA Secure Server CA (from VeriSign) Thawte Personal Basic CA Thawte Personal Freemail CA v Thawte Personal Premium CA v Thawte Premium Server CA v Thawte Server CA The CA may send more than one certificate. In addition to the certificate for your server, the CA may also send additional Signing certificates or Intermediate CA Certificates. For example, Verisign includes an Intermediate CA Certificate when sending a Global Server ID certificate. Before receiving the server certificate, you must receive any additional Intermediate CA certificates. See “Storing a CA Certificate” for instructions on receiving Intermediate CA Certificates. Note: If the CA who issues your CA-signed certificate is not a trusted CA in the key database, you must first store the CA certificate and designate the CA as a trusted CA. Then you can receive your CA-signed certificate into the database. You cannot receive a CA-signed certificate from a CA who is not a trusted CA. For instructions, see “Storing a CA Certificate.” To receive the CA-signed certificate into a key database, type the following command: java com.ibm.gsk.ikeyman.ikeycmd -cert -receive -file <filename> -db PCommClientKeyDb.kdb -pw <password> -format <ascii | binary> -default_ cert <yes | no> where: -format Certificate Authority might provide CA Certificate in either ASCII or binary format. -label Label attached to CA certificate. -trust Indicates whether this CA can be trusted. Use enable options when receiving a CA certificate. -file File containing the CA certificate. -default_ cert Type yes if you want to make this key your default key. Storing a CA Certificate: To store a certificate from a CA who is not a trusted CA, type the following command: java com.ibm.gsk.ikeyman.ikeycmd -cert -add -db PCommClientKeyDb.kdb -pw <password>-label <label> -format <ascii> -trust <enable> -file <file> where: -label Label attached to certificate or certificate request. -format Certificate Authorities might supply a binary ASCII file. 80 Administrator’s Guide and Reference -trust Indicate whether this CA can be trusted (should be yes). Opening a Key Database Explicit opening of a key database is not supported. For each command, database and password options are given—these options are sufficient to operate in a key database. Showing the Default Key in a Key Database To display the default key entry, type the following command: java com.ibm.gsk.ikeyman.ikeycmd -cert -getdefault -db PCommClientKeyDb.kdb -pw <password> Managing a Digital Certificate on a Smart Card You can manage digital certificates on a Smart Card (or, more generically, on a PKCS#11 cryptographic device). To do so, you must first use the following procedure to inform the IKEYMAN CLI of the name of the module for managing your Smart Card. 1. Edit the java.security file in your JDK environment with one of the following settings stored in the (JAVA_HOME)\jre\lib\security\ directory: v security.provider.1=sun.security.provider.Sun v security.provider.2=com.ibm.spi.IBMCMSProvider v security.provider.3=com.ibm.crypto.provider.IBMJCE 2. Edit the ikmcmd.properties file to set the DEFAULT_CRYPTOGRAPHIC_MODULE property to the name of the module for managing your smart card. For example, DEFAULT_CRYPTOGRAPHIC_MODULE=C:\\Winnt\\System32\\W32pk2ig.dll The module is normally installed on your system when you install the software for your Smart Card. 3. Save the ikmcmd.properties file. Use the following command syntax for PKCS#11 operations: -crypto <module_name> -tokenlabel <token_label> -pw <password> For example, to display the certificate contained on your PKCS#11 cryptographic device, type the following: java -Dikeycmd.properties=<properties_file> com.ibm.gsk.ikeyman.ikeycmd -cert -list all -crypto <module_name> -tokenlabel <token_label> -pw <password> where: -cert Indicates that the operation applies to a certificate. -list all Displays the certificate. -crypto <module_name> Specifies PKCS#11 cryptographic device usage, where <module_name> is the name of the module to manage your smart card. This parameter is optional if the module name is specified in the ikmcmd.properties file. -tokenlabel <token_label> The PKCS#11 cryptographic device token label. -pw <password> The password for the PKCS#11 cryptographic device. Chapter 6. Configuring and Using Security for Personal Communications 81 Using Microsoft CryptoAPI: If you want to open a cryptographic hardware device using MS CryptoAPI, use the following procedure. 1. Edit the ikmcmd.properties file. Set the cryptographic service provider (CSP) name to the DEFAULT_CRYPTOGRAPHIC_MODULE property. For example, DEFAULT_CRYPTOGRAPHIC_MODULE=Schlumberger Cryptographic Service Provider The CSP is normally installed on your system when you install the software for your Smart Card. 2. Save the ikmcmd.properties file. Use the following command syntax to display the certificate contained on your cryptographic device: java -Dikeycmd.properties=<propertiesfile> com.ibm.gsk.ikeyman.ikeycmd -cert -list all -crypto <CSP_module_name> where: -cert Indicates that the operation applies to a certificate. -list all Displays the certificate. -crypto <CSP_module_name> Specifies the CSP name. Managing the Microsoft Certificate Store You can use the following command to manage the Microsoft Certificate Store (supported only on Windows 2000, Service Pack 2 or later, and Windows XP): -db MSCertificateStore For example, to view the details of a certificate stored in Microsoft Certificate Store, use the following command syntax: java com.ibm.gsk.ikeyman.ikeycmd -cert -details -db MSCertificateStore -label <label> where: -cert Indicates that the operation applies to a certificate. -details Specifies verbose mode when displaying information. -db MSCertificateStore Specifies Microsoft Certificate Store. -label <label> The label of the certificate used in the operation. The password parameter is not needed in -db MSCertificateStore operations. Using GSK6CMD Batch File The batch file gsk6cmd provides the same function as the java com.ibm.gsk.ikeyman command. For example, to store the password after a database has been created, you can also type the following command: gsk6cmd -keydb -stashpw -db <db_name>.kdb -pw <password> Summary of Command-Line Invocations The following is a list of each of the command-line invocations, with the optional parameters specified in italics. 82 Administrator’s Guide and Reference Note: The actual Java invocation java com.ibm.gsk.ikeyman,iKeycmd must precede each of the command examples. -keydb -changepw -db <filename> -pw <password> -new_pw <new_password> -stash -expire <days> -keydb -convert -db <filename> -pw <password> -old_format <cms | webdb> -new_format <cms> -keydb -create -db <filename> -pw <password> -type <cms | sslight> -expire <days> -stash -keydb -delete -db <filename> -pw <password> -keydb -stashpw -db <filename> -pw <password> -cert -add -db <filename> -pw <password> -label <label> -file <filename> -format <ascii |binary> -trust <enable | disable> -cert -create -db <filename> -pw <password> -label <label> -dn <distinguished_name> -size <1024 | 512> -x509version <3 | 1 | 2> -default_cert <no |yes> -cert -delete -db <filename> -pw <password> -label <label> -cert -details -db <filename> -pw <password> -label <label> -cert -export -db <filename> -pw <password> -label <label> -type <cms | sslight> -target <filename> -target_pw <password> -target_type <cms | sslight | pkcs12> -encryption <strong | weak> -cert -extract -db <filename> -pw <password> -label <label> -target <filename> -format <ascii | binary> -cert -getdefault -db <filename> -pw <password> -cert -import -db <filename> -pw <password> -label <label> -type <cms | sslight> -target <filename> -target_pw <password> -target_type <cms | sslight> -cert -import -file <filename> -type <pkcs12> -target <filename> -target_pw <password> -target_type <cms | sslight> -cert -list <all | personal | CA |site> -db <filename> -pw <password> -type <cms | sslight> -cert -modify -db <filename> -pw <password> -label <label> -trust <enable |disable> -cert -receive -file <filename> -db <filename> -pw <password> -format <ascii | binary> -default _cert <no | yes> -cert -setdefault -db <filename> -pw <password> -label <label> -cert -sign -file <filename> -db <filename> -pw <password> -label <label> -target <filename> -format <ascii | binary> -expire <days> -certreq -create -db <filename> -pw <password> -label <label> -dn <distinguished_name> -size <1024 | 512> -file <filename> -certreq -delete -db <filename> -pw <password> -label <label> -certreq -details -db <filename> -pw <password> -label <label> -certreq -extract -db <filename> -pw <password> -label <label> -target<filename> -certreq -list -db <filename> -pw <password> -certreq -recreate -db <filename> -pw <password> -label <label> -target<filename> -help -version Using Transport Layer Security Personal Communications allows you to negotiate the Transport Layer Security 1.0 protocol. The TLS protocol is based on the SSL protocol. TLS differs from SSL mainly in the initial handshake protocol for establishing client/server authentication and encryption. TLS also allows you to use FIPS (Federal Chapter 6. Configuring and Using Security for Personal Communications 83 Information Processing Standard) mode. Although TLS and SSL do not operate with each other, TLS provides a mechanism by which a TLS 1.0 implementation can revert to SSLv3. The TLS protocol uses public-key and symmetric-key cryptographic technology. Public-key cryptography uses a pair of keys, one public and one private. Information encrypted with one key can only be decrypted with the other key. For example, information encrypted with the public key can be decrypted only with the private key. Each server’s public key is published, while the private key is confidential. To send a secure message to the server, the client encrypts the message by using the server’s public key. When the server receives the message, it decrypts the message with its private key. Symmetric-key cryptography uses the same key to encrypt and decrypt messages. The client randomly generates a symmetric key to be used for encrypting all session data. The key is then encrypted with the server’s public key and sent to the server. TLS provides three basic security services: Message privacy Achieved through a combination of public-key and symmetric-key encryption. All traffic between a client and a server is encrypted using a key and an encryption algorithm negotiated during session setup. Message integrity Ensures that session traffic does not change while in route to its final destination. TLS and SSL use a combination of public/private keys and hash functions to ensure message integrity. Mutual authentication Exchange of identification through public-key certificates. The client and server identities are encoded in public-key certificates, which contain the following components: v Subject’s distinguished name v Issuer’s distinguished name v Subject’s public key v Issuer’s signature v Validity period v Serial number Configuring for TLS When configuring a Telnet session, you can choose TLS or SSL only as your Security Protocol. If the configured host does not support TLS, the host does one of the following: v Sends SSLv3 hello to Personal Communications In this case, Personal Communications will revert to SSLv3 and continue SSLv3 negotiations. v Sends a fatal error In this case, Personal Communications does not continue negotiations with the host. 84 Administrator’s Guide and Reference If you know that the host does not support TLS, you can select the SSL only option. In this case, Personal Communications starts with SSL negotiations to establish a secure connection, and does not attempt TLS negotiations. This option also enables SSLv2. Chapter 6. Configuring and Using Security for Personal Communications 85 86 Administrator’s Guide and Reference Chapter 7. Using Windows Terminal Services Windows Terminal Services (WTS) is a feature that allows more than one user to log onto a Windows NT, 2000, or XP machine. This feature is available as an add-on to Windows NT; it is included in Windows 2000 Advanced Server and Windows XP. This functionality is also referred to as simultaneous user environments or terminal services. Users can logon to the Windows machine from the console (the screen attached to the Windows machine) or from a remote desktop client. On Windows XP, more than one user can logon at the console, although only one of the logged-on users will be able to see his desktop at any time. This terminal services function is called fast user switching. Citrix MetaFrame allows administrators to configure their WTS servers to run individual applications, and to configure each user to run different applications on different servers. Thus, instead logging on to a WTS server, a user launches preconfigured applications from his Citrix environment running on their client machine. Citrix then logs onto the appropriate WTS server and runs the application. When the user closes the application, Citrix shuts down the application, waits for all processes that were started by the application to terminate, and then logs off from the WTS server. Notes: 1. A message file log is not maintained for each WTS logon session. Only one message log file is maintained for the WTS server. 2. When Personal Communications is used in a WTS environment, the maximum of 26 sessions (A-Z) applies to each WTS logon session. There is not a limit of 26 sessions per WTS server. Session IDs In simultaneous user environments such as WTS, each time a user logs on, that specific logon session is assigned a session ID. When a user logs on at the console, that session is assigned the session ID 0 (zero)—this is also called the server console session. When a user logs on from a remote desktop, the assigned session IDs begin with session 1. SNA Node Options Personal Communications has a number of features that allow it to fully function in simultaneous user environments. In addition, you can use specific features to control the behavior of SNA nodes in such environments. Note: You can only have one SNA node configuration file running for each WTS server. This means that each user cannot start an independent SNA node. The following features are available in the SNA Node Configuration utility. Refer to the online help for specific information about option settings. © Copyright IBM Corp. 1989, 2004 87 Configuration Preferences The SNA Node Configuration Edit → Preferences dialog displays the following node options: Auto Start This option controls whether and when an SNA node is automatically started. The settings are as follows: v None The SNA node is never automatically started. v On Boot The SNA node is started when the workstation is booted up. v User The SNA node is started when any user logs onto the workstation. Auto Stop This option controls whether and when an SNA node is automatically stopped. The settings are as follows: v None The SNA node is automatically stopped only when the workstation is shut down or restarted. v TP User The SNA node is stopped when the TP user logs off the workstation. v User The SNA node is stopped when any user logs off the workstation. v Last User The SNA node is stopped when the last logged-on user logs off the workstation. TP Context An SNA Node is responsible for starting Transaction Programs (TPs). This option controls whether a TP is allowed to access a user’s desktop. The settings are as follows: v System An SNA Node is responsible for starting Transaction Programs (TPs). The TP Context System value causes TPs to run with SYSTEM authority and the only workstation that can be accessed is the system console. v User The TP Context User value allows a TP to access the TP User’s desktop. The TP User is defined as the user who starts the SNA node. If that user logs off the workstation, the TP User becomes the user who has been logged onto the system the longest. If the SNA node was started on boot then the TP User becomes the first user who logs on. Note: The TP context is ignored when a user ID is specified in the Local LU definition in the active node configuration. Default SNA Node Configuration You can specify a default node configuration (.acg) file. User ID (Local LU 6.2) When you configure a Local LU 6.2, you can specify a user ID for this Local LU. When a Transaction Program is started on a Local LU that has this user ID 88 Administrator’s Guide and Reference defined, the SNA Node attempts to give the TP access to that user’s desktop. If the user is logged on at the time, the TP context is the user ID entered in this Local LU 6.2 configuration panel. This user ID field can also be the value SYSTEM (as in the TP Context configuration option). In that case, the TP is always started with a TP context value of SYSTEM. Trace Facility For simultaneous user environments such as WTS, the APPN and APPC and Connectivity functions are only available for users logged in as session 0. Each user can run his own trace facility, which gives information from that user’s specific WTS logon session. However, there are trace options that enable tracing from device drivers, which are not associated with any specific WTS logon session. Thus, those options only appear on the trace facility that is started in the WTS console session (session 0). Chapter 7.

ODBC Drivers and Database Access Utility This chapter contains information about ODBC drivers and the Database Access utility. Should you require more detailed information, refer to the following guides: v IBM DB2 Connect Personal Edition Quick Beginnings v IBM DB2 Connect User’s Guide You can also find additional information in the online help. Overview of Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) ODBC is an industry standard application program interface (API) that provides a solution to a common problem—how to write programs that access a Database Management System (DBMS) without making them dependent on specific DBMS designs. ODBC provides API access to SQL-accessible databases, allowing application programs to use SQL to access data from many kinds of sources. The independence of the access method from the original design of the database means that developers can design and produce a single version of an application that can work with, for example, DB2 Connect™, Oracle, or Sybase data, without requiring a separate version for each DBMS. Users simply add database drivers to link the application to their choice of DBMS. ODBC is a component of the Windows Open Services Architecture (WOSA). Personal Communications supports ODBC 2.0, for development of 32-bit applications for Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows Me, Windows 2000, and Windows XP. An ODBC driver provides an application program with standard and uniform SQL access to a DBMS database. An ODBC driver allows the designers and users of the application program to ignore the SQL differences between various DBMS systems. Figure 1 shows an overview of the Personal Communications Database Access utility and the ODBC DB2® drivers. iSeries MVS Host Systems V3R1 ODBC Server DB2/400 Data Base DB2/MVS Data Base PC Side Advanced Program to Program Communication OEM ODBC Driver ODBC Administrator (provided by Microsoft) Data Base Access Utility (PCSDB.EXE) Copy/Paste Microsoft Excel Lotus 1-2-3 PC Data Base Windows Application Program Figure 1. Database Access Overview © Copyright IBM Corp. 1989, 2004 91 Components of ODBC There are four components in the ODBC architecture: v The application component defines and performs the work to be accomplished. It calls the ODBC API functions that submit SQL statements and retrieve results. v The driver manager component loads drivers on behalf of an application. v The driver component processes ODBC function calls, submits SQL requests to a specific data source, and passes results to the application. The driver transforms the application’s SQL syntax into the syntax expected by the driver’s associated DBMS. v The data source component is the data to be accessed and the means for doing so, including the associated operating system, DBMS and network platform. From the application program’s perspective, the driver manager and the driver appear to be a single unit for processing ODBC function calls. Figure 2 shows the relationship between the four components: Application ODBC Interface Driver Manager iSeries ODBC Driver MVS ODBC Driver Other ODBC Driver Data Source Data Source Data Source DB2/400 DB2/MVS other Figure 2. ODBC Components Application Component An application using ODBC performs the following tasks: v Requests a session (connection) with a data source. v Sends SQL requests to the data source. v Defines storage areas and data formats for the results of the SQL requests. v Requests the results of the defined query. v Processes errors. v Requests commit or rollback operations for transaction control. v Terminates the session with the data source. Any program that accesses a DBMS, such as a spreadsheet, a mail server, or a report generator, can be designed to use ODBC. 92 Administrator’s Guide and Reference Driver Manager The driver manager is a dynamic link library (DLL), the purpose of which is to load drivers. It also performs the following functions: v Maps a data source name to a specific driver DLL. v Processes ODBC initialization calls. v Provides the entry points to the ODBC functions for each driver. v Provides parameter and sequence validation for ODBC calls. Driver A driver is a DLL that implements ODBC function calls and interacts with a data source. The driver manager loads a driver when the application calls the SQLBrowseConnect, SQLConnect, or SQLDriverConnect function. A driver performs the following tasks in response to ODBC function calls from an application: v Establishes a connection to a data source. v Submits requests to the data source. v Translates data to or from other formats, if requested by the application. v Returns results to the application. v Formats errors into standard error codes and returns them to the application. v Declares and manipulates cursors if necessary. This operation is invisible to the application unless there is a request for access to a cursor name. v Initiates transactions of the data source. This operation is invisible to the application. Data Source A data source is an instance of a DBMS product and any remote operating system and the protocol required to access it. Database Access Database Access lets you access host or PC databases and retrieve data, using ODBC drivers. If you specify the conditions for accessing data in each window, the desired query can be created automatically. See the online help for extensive information on using the Database Access utility with the Personal Communications ODBC drivers. From Database Access, you can perform any of the following actions: v You can see and modify the SQL statements that are created automatically. v You can see available database table lists. v You can copy spreadsheet data to the clipboard v You can show data in the grid in the main window spreadsheet, send data to other applications (for example Lotus® 1-2-3® or Microsoft Excel), or send data to a printer. v If you want to know the meaning of items in the windows, you can see an explanation when you click on the item and then click help.

When you use another application (for example Lotus 1-2-3), refer to the manual for that application because the limit might be different. Chapter 8. ODBC Drivers and Database Access Utility 95 96 Administrator’s Guide and Reference Chapter 9. Express Logon Feature The Express Logon Feature allows a Personal Communications Telnet 3270 user to securely logon to a host application without sending the User ID and password. One advantage of using this function is that it reduces the time you spend maintaining host user IDs and passwords. It also reduces the number of user IDs and passwords that the users have to remember. To use Express Logon, the host session must be configured for SSL and client authentication. This means the client must have a valid client certificate. The SSL connection must be made to one of the supported Telnet 3270 servers. Using Express Logon When starting a session using Express Logon, Personal Communications establishes an SSL client authentication session with the Telnet 3270 server. During the logon process, a macro with the Express Logon information is played. Once the session is established, Personal Communications sends the application ID for the application that the user is accessing to the Telnet 3270 server. This information is contained in the logon macro. The Telnet 3270 server uses certificate information from the SSL connection and the application ID received from Personal Communications, and requests the user ID and passticket (a temporary password) from the host access control program (such as RACF®). Personal Communications uses the macro function to put predefined substitute strings in the user ID and password fields. The Telnet 3270 server substitutes the user ID and passticket in the appropriate place in the 3270 datastream. The logon is completed. After an ELF macro is recorded, it can be distributed to multiple users for playback without further modification. Preparing to Configure the Express Logon Feature Before you configure an Express Logon macro, you need to have the following information. v Host application name Name of the host application the user is logging onto. For example, the name entered on the USSMSG10 screen. v Host access application ID This name must match the RACF PTKTDATA (Passticket Data Profile) application name that is configured on the OS/390® (V2R10 or later) or z/OS™ host. This name could be the same as the application name that the user is logging onto (for example, the name on USSMSG10). When creating PTKTDATA profiles for applications such as TSO, the application name portion of the profile will most likely not be the same. For example, RACF requires that the application ID portion of the profile name be TSO+SID. Refer to OS/390 V2R10.0 SecureWay Security Server RACF Security Administrator’s Guide or z/OS V1R1.0 SecureWay Security Server RACF Security Administrator’s Guide to determine the correct profile naming. v User ID and password for the application that you are logging on to. © Copyright IBM Corp. 1989, 2004 97 During macro recording, the actual user ID and password are used. They are not recorded in the macro; only the predefined substitute strings are recorded in the macro. The Telnet 3270 server replaces the predefined substitute strings with the actual user ID and password during the logon process. v Client Security Certificate The security certificate for the client must be stored in RACF using the RACF RACDCERT command. – For information about using digital certificates with RACF, refer to the following books: - For OS/390, refer to OS/390 V2R10.0 SecureWay Security Server RACF Security Administrator’s Guide and OS/390 V2R10.0 SecureWay Security Server RACF Command Language Reference. - For z/OS, refer to z/OS V1R1.0 SecureWay Security Server RACF Security Administrator’s Guide and z/OS V1R1.0 SecureWay Security Server RACF Command Language Reference. – For information about configuring DCAS to use RACF certificates, refer to the following books: - For OS/390, refer to OS/390 V2R10.0 IBM Communication Server IP Migration. - For z/OS, refer to z/OS V1R1.0 IBM Communication Server IP Migration. Configuring Express Logon Recording the Macro You must record a macro for each host application that you want to access. You cannot log on to multiple applications with one macro. You do not have to configure SSL, and client authentication is not required on the telnet servers and OS/390 or z/OS before recording the logon macro, but you must do this before you can play the macro. Manual Configuration of an ELF Macro You can manually configure an existing Macro format file for ELF use. The procedure is as follows: 1. From the Action Bar, open the macro file containing the recorded keystrokes by selecting Edit → Preferences → Macro/Script. 2. Select the macro file you just recorded and then select Customize. 3. Replace the UserID recorded in the macro with two tags: the ELF Application ID and the ELF UserID placeholder. The Application ID tag consists of three words, each separated by a blank character: elf, applid, and the identifier of the host application that will be logged onto. The UserID placeholder is )USR.ID(. For example, replace "myUserID with ")USR.ID(. 4. Replace the Password recorded in the macro with the ELF Password placeholder tag )PSS.WD(. For example, replace "myPassword with ")PSS.WD(. Limitations of the Logon Macro v Automatic insertion of the user ID and password placeholders into the recorded macro requires that the password be typed into the first non-display input field. The user ID is assumed to have been entered just prior to the password. The 98 Administrator’s Guide and Reference Modified Data Tag attribute of each formatted input field is assumed to be ON only when the field has been modified by the operator. v There is a short delay while the Telnet 3270 server acquires the passticket from the host access control facility. The amount of time is probably less than the usual delay incurred when the user enters a user ID and password. However, the user can see the macro proceed through the screens during the logon process. v Logon Express recording requires that the host program uses 3270 field attributes to define the password field on the screen. Problem Determination If the client logon fails and displays the messages )USR.ID( NOT IN CP DIRECTORY, INVALID USERID, )USR.ID(, PASSWORD NOT AUTHORIZED or any similar messages, check the Telnet 3270 server log for details. Possible reasons for failures are: v The application ID defined in the macro is not valid. v The Telnet 3270 server could not connect to DCAS. The host might be down. v The client certificate is not defined in RACF or it is not valid. v The passticket has expired and could not be used to log on. v The Telnet 3270 server completed scanning of data stream without replacing the user ID or password. v The Telnet 3270 server or the host does not support the Express Logon Feature.

Log Viewer Functions The Personal Communications log viewer utility enables you to view, merge, sort, search, and filter information contained in message and trace logs. You can use the viewer during problem determination to work with message and trace log entries. The default name of the message log output file is PCSMSG.MLG; its file extension must be .MLG. The file extension for trace logs must be .TLG. Note that the Help per Message Log Item functionality is available only for message logs. Viewing Message and Trace Logs To view message or trace logs: 1. From the Administrative and PD Aids folder, click Log Viewer; or, from an active session window, click Actions → Launch → Log Viewer. 2. From the list of logged messages, click on one of the details on the log entry in the bottom pane. Note: If the logger device driver determines that the product kernel driver-generated log is full and cannot log a message, it will create an entry in the Windows log. The information logged may include which log failed, as well as the location and reason for the failure. Changing Message Log Size and Location The Personal Communications log viewer utility allows you to modify the size and location of message log files, and change the name of the default message log file. The size of a log file is counted in kilobytes and can range from a minimum of 4Kb to a maximum limited only by available hard disk space. To modify the location and size of the log: 1. From the Log Viewer main menu, click Options and then click Configure Message Log Settings... A Windows common dialog box is displayed. 2. From the dialog box, browse the directory structure and choose the destination directory and file name for the message log. 3. Using the spin control counter field, use the up and down arrows to increase or decrease the log file size (in kilobytes). 4. Select OK to save settings and exit the window. Merging Message and Trace Logs The Personal Communications log viewer utility allows you to open and merge message and trace log entries in the same log viewer window. You can merge any combination of message and trace log files. v .MLG into .TLG v .TLG into .TLG v .TLG into .MLG v .MLG into .MLG To merge message and trace log files: 1. From the Log Viewer window, select the message or trace log file window where the files will be merged. 2. Click the File menu, then click Merge and choose a file to be merged. © Copyright IBM Corp. 1989, 2004 101 Sorting Message and Trace Logs The Personal Communications log viewer utility allows you to sort message and log files in ascending and descending order. To sort files in ascending order, click the column header one time, or right mouse click the data. Click the column header, or right mouse click the data a second time to sort in descending order. Message and logs can also be sorted by selecting the data to be sorted, and right mouse clicking to display the pop-up menu. Click Sort. Searching Personal Communications Logs To search the log files, click Edit → Find on the Main menu. Type your search string in the provided box. You can refine your search by checking the Match case check box if your search is to be case-specific. If you want to limit your search to only complete words, select the Match whole word only check box. Clicking Find Next takes you to the next instance where your search string appears highlighted in the log. Clicking Cancel will stop the search. Filtering Personal Communications Logs Messages can be filtered by component only. Traces can be filtered by component, by process ID, and by thread ID. To filter the message or trace record list, do the following: 1. Decide what you want to filter by. For example, in the message log, you may want to filter your view so that it contains only messages issued by a particular component. (Filtering by component is the default.) 2. Click the left mouse button to highlight the item that has the value that you want to filter by. 3. Right click in the appropriate column list area. 4. Click Filter In, Filter Out or Sort. Filter In allows only those items selected to be in the resulting view. Filter Out removes the selected items from the resulting view. Sort allows you to sort entries in ascending or descending order based upon the entry selected. This function works much like sorting by column header. Filters are cumulative, so you can filter the results of your first filter. To restore your original view, click View and then Refresh, or you can press F5. 102 Administrator’s Guide and Reference Part 3.

Logical Unit Address (LUA) System software and interfaces that supply input/output (I/O) service routines to support communications that use LU types 0, 1, 2, and 3 SNA protocols. These protocols support user defined data streams, SNA character streams, and SNA 3270 data streams. LUA services include only those services that support data communications. LUA does not supply any device emulation facilities. Node An endpoint of a link, or a junction, common to two or more links in a network. Nodes can be linked to host processors, communication controllers, cluster controllers, terminals, or workstations. End Node Provides directory and routing services for a workstation on an APPN network. If the workstation will not be connecting from an end node to a network node server, you need to define an SNA connection. APPC Concepts Personal Communications provides Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking (APPN) end node support for workstations, allowing them to communicate more flexibly with other systems in the network. Personal Communications provides advanced program-to-program communications (APPC) to support communications between distributed © Copyright IBM Corp. 1989, 2004 105 processing programs, called transaction programs (TPs). APPN extends this capability to a networking environment. The TPs can be located at any node in the network that provides APPC. Introducing APPC and CPI-C Advanced Program-to-Program Communication (APPC), also known as LU 6.2, is software that enables high-speed communications between programs on different computers, from portables and workstations to midrange and host computers. APPC software is available for many different IBM and non-IBM operating systems, either as part of the operating system or as a separate software package. APPC serves as an interface between application programs and the network. When the communications application on your workstation passes information to the APPC software, APPC takes the information and sends it on to a network interface, such as a token ring adapter card. The information travels across the network to another computer, where the APPC software receives the information from the network interface. APPC puts the information back into its original format and passes it to the corresponding communications application. APPC provides a consistent set of functions for program-to-program communications across different platforms. But, the architecture did not specify a common application programming interface (API) for implementing these functions. As a result, each operating system that supports APPC developed its own API, a set of verbs that closely resemble the operating system itself. These differences do not pose a problem if you are writing programs for two computers that use the same operating system. Most client/server applications run on different types of computers, however, to take advantage of the strengths of each computer. So, if you are designing programs for different operating systems, you must learn how to use two or more different sets of verbs. The Common Programming Interface for Communications (CPI-C) eliminates this problem. CPI-C provides one standard set of verbs, known as CPI-C calls, for all systems that support CPI-C. As a result, you learn only one set of calls to write client/server applications for different systems. What Is a Transaction Program? The part of the communications application that initiates or responds to APPC communications is called a transaction program. A transaction program is not an entire, stand-alone program. Instead, it is the part of the program that handles transactions (exchanges of data) with another program. When people talk with each other, we say that they are having a conversation. Likewise, the communication between two transaction programs is called a conversation. A conversation between two programs is similar to a conversation between two people. When you have a conversation with another person, you follow unwritten rules that govern how you begin and end the conversation, take turns speaking, and exchange information. Similarly, APPC is called a protocol because it provides the rules that govern how conversations between transaction programs start and stop, which program “speaks” first, and how data is exchanged. Computers need complete and rigid rules for conversations between programs. For that reason, APPC consists of a set of well-defined and thorough rules to cover all possible communications situations. 106 Administrator’s Guide and Reference An APPC program may have several conversations active at one time, with the same transaction program or with different transaction programs. Every transaction program needs a partner to communicate with. Thus, transaction programs are developed in pairs called partner transaction programs. People use different parts of speech to communicate with each other. Transaction programs are more limited in their communications; they use only verbs to communicate with each other. The verbs are the programming language you use to start, stop, and control conversations. A transaction program consists of APPC and CPI-C verbs such as: ALLOCATE (CMALLC in CPI-C) Starts a conversation with another transaction program SEND_DATA (CMSEND in CPI-C) Sends data to the partner transaction program RECEIVE (CMRCV in CPI-C) Receives data from the partner transaction program DEALLOCATE (CMDEAL in CPI-C) Ends a conversation with another transaction program. The APPC verbs make up the application programming interface (API) for APPC and CPI-C. In other words, these verbs represent the interface between the transaction program and the APPC software. What Is the Difference between APPC and APPN? APPC is a communications protocol that enables programs on different computers to “talk to” each other. APPC provides the interface between the programs and the networking hardware and software and defines the rules that programs use to exchange information. Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking (APPN) is the underlying networking protocol that routes APPC traffic through intermediate nodes in the network. For instance, when Program A uses APPC to talk to Program B, APPN finds the node where Program B is located and directs the APPC traffic through the network. APPN includes several features that help reduce the amount of configuration required to set up and maintain a network. These features automate many tasks that are time-consuming, complicated, and error-prone. For example, if you’re installing a new workstation that uses APPN, you don’t have to set up configuration information for every workstation you want to communicate with. You simply provide the name of the computer and the address of the intermediate node that handles your traffic. APPN takes care of the rest of the information needed to route APPC traffic to and from your workstation. If you connect to an APPN network, you simplify your own configuration and make it easier for other computers in the network to find you. Side Information Definitions Before starting a conversation with a partner program, a CPI-C program requires the following information: v The name of the partner program v The name of the LU on the remote computer Chapter 11. SNA Client/Server Concepts 107 v The type of session used by the program v Security information If the CPI-C partner program uses a blank symbolic destination name, a side information definition is not necessary. Improving Productivity Using APPC The advanced features of APPC help speed the development of robust client/server applications and keep development costs low. Client/server applications often prove to be especially challenging to the programmer. It’s not enough to understand the details about the computer and operating system that your application uses. If you’re designing client/server applications, you have to deal with computers used by both sides of the application, as well as the intervening network. For instance, implementing effective security measures is more important and more complicated, since you must ensure security throughout the network. In addition, synchronization and error reporting are often problematic in a distributed environment, because both sides of the application must coordinate their work. One reason that APPC has become so widely used in client/server applications is that it furnishes a complete set of useful functions like security, synchronization, and error reporting. If you use other protocols, you must build these functions in every application you write. For example, if you use NetBIOS, you must design and implement a strategy for security for each application. Not only does this approach require additional work, it may result in a number of incompatible security systems in your network. By contrast, APPC includes a common set of security services that are consistent across all APPC platforms. Similarly, most protocols do not include synchronization functions. Synchronization is required by any program that cannot continue processing data until the data sent to the partner program has been received and processed. Rather than writing your own synchronization routine, APPC provides a Confirm call that you can use to handle synchronization between two programs. Improving Productivity Using CPI-C Because many client/server applications are distributed between mainframe systems and workstations, host programmers and workstation programmers must work together to develop partner applications. CPI-C bridges the gap between these programmers by providing a common language for designing the communications part of the applications. CPI-C also enables you to write the communications portion of an application without knowing the details of the operating system. After you write a CPI-C application, you can easily move the programs from one operating system to another with few changes. So, by using the CPI-C interface, you can port both your applications and your programming skills from one system to another, quickly and cost-effectively. What Is a Logical Unit? Every TP gains access to an SNA network through a logical unit (LU). An LU is SNA software that accepts verbs from your programs and acts on those verbs. A TP issues APPC verbs to its LU. These verbs cause commands and data to flow across the network to a partner LU. An LU also acts as an intermediary between 108 Administrator’s Guide and Reference the TPs and the network to manage the exchange of data between TPs. A single LU can provide services for multiple TPs. Multiple LUs can be active in the node simultaneously. LU Types Personal Communications supports LU types 0, 1, 2, 3, and 6.2. LU types 0, 1, 2, and 3 support communication between host application programs and different kinds of devices, such as terminals and printers. LU 6.2 supports communications between two programs located at type 5 subarea nodes, type 2.1 peripheral nodes, or both, and between programs and devices. APPC is an implementation of the LU 6.2 architecture. Communication occurs only between LUs of the same LU type. For example, an LU 2 communicates with another LU 2; it does not communicate with an LU 3. When Personal Communications is configured, your local and partner LUs are defined once for each machine. When you design programs, you must understand the capabilities supported by the LU in the particular machines you plan to use. Dependent and Independent LUs A dependent LU depends on a system services control point (SSCP) to activate a session. A dependent LU needs an active SSCP-LU session, which the dependent LU uses to start an LU-LU session with an LU in a subarea node. A dependent LU can have only one session at a time with the subarea LU. For communications with a TP at a subarea node, each dependent LU can have only one conversation at a time, and each dependent LU can support communications for only one TP at a time. An independent LU does not depend on an SSCP to activate a session. An independent LU supports multiple concurrent sessions with other LUs in a subarea node, so you can have multiple conversations and support multiple TPs for communications with subarea TPs. LUs between peripheral nodes also use this support. The distinction between a dependent LU and an independent LU is meaningful only when discussing a session between an LU in a peripheral node and an LU in a subarea node. Otherwise, dependent and independent LUs both support multiple concurrent sessions and conversations when communicating between type 2.1 peripheral nodes, for example, between two Windows NT workstations. A Personal Communications LU can support a single session with a dependent LU or multiple sessions with an independent LU. What Is a Session? Before TPs can communicate with each other their LUs must be connected in a mutual relationship called a session. A session connects two LUs, so it is called an LU-LU session. Figure 3 on page 110 illustrates this communication relationship. Multiple, concurrent sessions between the same two LUs are called parallel LU-LU sessions. Chapter 11. SNA Client/Server Concepts 109 Figure 3. A Session between Two LUs Sessions act as conduits that manage the movement of data between a pair of LUs in an SNA network. Specifically, sessions deal with things such as the quantity of data transmitted, data security, network routing, and traffic congestion. Sessions are maintained by their LUs. Normally, your TPs do not deal with session characteristics. You define session characteristics when you: v Configure your system v Use the Session Services function in the Subsystem Management windows v Use the management verbs What Is a Conversation? The communication between TPs is called a conversation. Conversations occur across LU-LU sessions. A conversation starts when a TP issues an APPC verb or CPI-C call that allocates a conversation. The conversation style associated with the conversation indicates the style of data transfer to be used, two-way alternate or two-way simultaneous. A conversation that specifies a two-way alternate style of data transfer is also known as a half-duplex conversation. A conversation that specifies a two-way simultaneous style of data transfer is referred to as a full-duplex conversation. When a half-duplex conversation is allocated to a session, a send-receive relationship is established between the TPs connected to the conversation, and a two-way alternate data transfer occurs where information is transferred in both directions, one direction at a time. Like a telephone conversation, one TP calls the other, and they “converse”, one TP talking at a time, until a TP ends the conversation. One TP issues verbs to send data, and the other TP issues verbs to receive data. When it finishes sending data, the sending TP can transfer send control of the conversation to the receiving TP. One TP decides when to end the conversation and informs the other when it has ended. When a full-duplex conversation is allocated to a session, both TPs connected to the conversation are started in send-and-receive state, and a two-way simultaneous data transfer occurs where information is transferred in both directions at the same time. Both TPs may issue verbs to send and receive data simultaneously with no transfer of send control required. The conversation ends when both TPs indicate they are ready to stop sending data, and each TP has received the data sent by the partner. If an error condition occurs, one TP may decide to end both sides of the conversation abruptly. Conversations can exchange control information and data. The TP should select the conversation style best suited for its application. 110 Administrator’s Guide and Reference A Conversation between Two TPs Figure 4 shows a conversation between two TPs as it occurs over a session. Figure 4. A Conversation between Two TPs A session can support only one conversation at a time, but one session can support many conversations in sequence. Because multiple conversations can reuse sessions, a session is a long-lived connection compared to a conversation. When a program allocates a conversation and all applicable sessions are in use, the LU puts the incoming Attach (allocation request) on a queue. It completes the allocation when a session becomes available. Two LUs can also establish parallel sessions with each other to support multiple concurrent conversations. A parallel session occurs when either TP allocates a conversation, and a session exists but is being used by a conversation. The LU can request a new session to satisfy the allocation. Parallel Sessions between LUs Figure 5 shows three parallel sessions between two LUs; each session carries a conversation. Figure 5. Parallel Sessions between LUs SNA Communications Personal Communications supports Systems Network Architecture (SNA) type 2.1 nodes (including SNA type 2.0 and SNA type 2.1 support for LUs other than SNA LU 6.2). This support lets you write programs to communicate with many other IBM SNA products. You can write programs without knowing the details of the underlying network. All you need to know is the name of the partner LU; you do not need to know its location. SNA determines the partner LU location and the best path for routing data. A change to the underlying network, such as a physical address change, the Chapter 11. SNA Client/Server Concepts 111 addition of a new adapter, or the relocation of a machine, does not affect APPC programs. A program might, however, need to establish link connections over switched SDLC connections. When Personal Communications starts, it establishes local LU and logical link definitions, which are stored in a configuration file. The system management application programming interface (API) provides functions that control configuration definition and adapter and link activation. SNA Node Operations With SNA Node Operations, either a user or system administrator can display information or take action on node resources that are known to the active node. The following tasks are supported: v Starting and stopping resources v Deleting resources v Displaying resource information v Changing session limits v Initiating path switches For more information about SNA node operations, see Chapter 13, “SNA Node Operations,” on page 135 or refer to the online help. 112 Administrator’s Guide and Reference Chapter 12. AnyNet SNA over TCP/IP This chapter describes the AnyNet SNA over TCP/IP function of Personal Communications. What Does AnyNet SNA over TCP/IP Do? SNA over TCP/IP is one of the IBM AnyNet software offerings. AnyNet software enables application programs to communicate over different transport networks and across interconnected networks. Using AnyNet, you can reduce the number of transport networks and therefore reduce operational complexity. These benefits are gained without modification to your existing application programs or hardware. The AnyNet function in Personal Communications enables SNA applications to communicate over an IP network. This includes the Personal Communications emulators, both 3270 and 5250, as well as APPC and CPI-C applications. The following network configurations illustrate how SNA over TCP/IP access nodes and gateways can be used. Running APPC or CPI-C Applications over a TCP/IP Network Figure 6 illustrates how you can use the AnyNet SNA over TCP/IP function of Personal Communications to enable communication between SNA applications over an IP network.

SNA over TCP/IP uses protocols that bypass the lower transport layers of the SNA architecture. This process is transparent to the SNA application program. Using a supported API, an application program passes data to the presentation services of Personal Communications. This data, in turn, is passed through the SNA architectural layers and presented to SNA over TCP/IP at the data link control level. When Personal Communications initiates a session for an application program, SNA over TCP/IP translates the SNA routing information (network-qualified name) into IP routing information (IP address) and uses the IP address to create a TCP connection to the appropriate system. Figure 15 on page 119 illustrates how an SNA over TCP/IP access node enables SNA application programs to communicate over IP networks. 118 Administrator’s Guide and Reference Windows NT SNA Application including emulation and print CPI-C Personal Communications APPC LUA SNA DLCs AnyNet TCP/IP Sockets TCP UDP IP Figure 15. Structure of SNA over TCP/IP for Personal Communications The configuration information you define enables SNA over TCP/IP to determine: v Whether to route the data using SNA or to route the data using IP v The IP address associated with the network-qualified LU name SNA over TCP/IP uses both stream (TCP) and datagram (UDP) sockets that are bound to the well-known port (397). Any information received over this port is routed to AnyNet. Mapping SNA Resources to IP Addresses SNA over TCP/IP access nodes must determine the IP address of the partner before an SNA session can be established. The SNA identifier of the partner is mapped to an IP address using the following steps: 1. SNA over TCP/IP receives the SNA identifier from Personal Communications in one of the following formats: v For LU names, netid.luname v For CP names, netid.cpname 2. SNA over TCP/IP takes the identifier and generates a domain name: v For LU names, luname.netid.snasuffix v For CP names, cpname.netid.snasuffix Note: The default value for snasuffix is SNA.IBM.COM. For additional information on the SNA domain name suffix, refer to the online help. Figure 16 on page 120 shows examples of domain names generated by SNA over TCP/IP. Chapter 12. AnyNet SNA over TCP/IP 119 domain name lu1.neta1.sna.ibm.com LU name netid SNA domain name suffix domain name cp1.neta1.sna.ibm.com CP name netid SNA domain name suffix Figure 16. Formats of the Domain Names That SNA over TCP/IP Builds 3. SNA over TCP/IP requests that the domain name be translated into an IP address. 4. TCP/IP uses the HOSTS file or domain name server to translate the domain name into an IP address (for example, 9.67.192.28). When the IP network includes SNA over TCP/IP gateways, consider the following additional address mapping issue: If the partner LU can be reached through a gateway, the domain name of the partner must be mapped to the IP address of the gateway. If there are parallel gateways, the domain name should be mapped to each gateway IP address. Defining Domain Names and IP Addresses This section describes the TCP/IP name resolution function, used by AnyNet to map SNA resources to IP addresses. This function queries both the local HOSTS file and any domain name servers to convert a domain name (for example, lu1.neta1.sna.ibm.com) into an IP address (for example, 10.1.1.1). HOSTS File You can use TCP/IP HOSTS files to define domain names and IP addresses for your network. However, as your network becomes larger and maintaining the HOSTS file on each user workstation becomes too time-consuming, it is recommended that you use a domain name server. The HOSTS file lists: v IP address v Domain name v Other aliases for the domain name Note: For Windows NT, this resides in the \drivers\etc subdirectory of your NT system. For Windows 98, this is in your Windows system directory. For example, if your IP address is 10.1.1.1, network ID is NETA1, SNA resource name is LUA1, and SNA domain name suffix is the default (sna.ibm.com), enter the following in your HOSTS file: 10.1.1.1 lua1.neta1.sna.ibm.com Domain Name Server Domain names and IP addresses can also be defined in the domain name server database. 120 Administrator’s Guide and Reference Each SNA identifier is mapped to a corresponding IP address by a domain name server. The location of these servers is configured in the Network section of the Control Panel. For more information on HOSTS files and domain name servers, refer to your TCP/IP documentation. If your workstation is using the TCP/IP support in Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows Me, Windows 2000, or Windows XP, refer to the online TCP/IP documentation that is included with the Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows Me, Windows 2000, or Windows XP product. Defining Unique CP Names and Connection Network Names For configurations that have two or more SNA over TCP/IP gateways connecting an SNA network with two or more IP networks, you must define a unique SNA control point (CP) name and a unique SNA connection network name for each IP network. All LUs that reside on access nodes in the IP network appear to reside on a node with this CP name. Use the reverse data file of the domain name server or the HOSTS file to define the CP name and the connection network name for a given IP network. Map the IP address 127.0.0.3 to the CP name and map the IP address 127.0.0.4 to the connection network name. The following example shows entries in the reverse data file. For an IP network with SNA network ID NETA, CP name MYCPNAME, and connection network name MYCNET, you would define the following entries: 127.0.0.3 127.0.0.4 NETA.MYCPNAME. NETA.MYCNET. Notes: 1. A period is required at the end of the name only if the definition is in the DNS reverse data file. No period is used in HOSTS file definitions. 2. Do not include the SNA domain name suffix. The AnyNet SNA over TCP/IP function of Personal Communications provides a default CP name ($ANYNET.$GWCP) and a default connection network name ($ANYNET.$GWCNET). In configurations with one IP network, you can use the default by not defining a CP name or a connection network name. In configurations with multiple gateways connecting multiple IP networks, one IP network can use the default. You must, however, define a unique CP name and connection network name for all other IP networks. Figure 17 on page 122 shows how to define the CP name and the connection network name for a configuration with two IP networks. An example is provided in Quick Beginnings. Chapter 12. AnyNet SNA over TCP/IP 121 IP Network CPName = $ANYNET.$GWCP Connection network name = $ANYNET.$GWCNET SNA over TCP/IP gateway (no table, default assumed) Node A SNA SNA over TCP/IP gateway Node B IP Network CPName = NETB.CPB Connection network name = NETB.CNETB reverse address table 127.0.0.3 NETB.CPB 127.0.0.4 NETB.CNETB Figure 17. Defining a CP Name and a Connection Network Name Setting and Modifying the Routing Preference Protocol When an SNA application initiates a session, Personal Communications must first determine which transport to use, either SNA, IP, or a combination of the two. Personal Communications uses the default routing preference for the session unless there is a specific routing preference set for the partner LU. Personal Communications then sets up a session for the partner LU using the preferred transport. If the partner is not available through the preferred transport, Personal Communications can reroute the session request over the other available transport, depending on the setting in the routing preference table. For example, if the setting in the routing preference table for the destination LU is nonnative first, Personal Communications will attempt to set up the session over TCP/IP. If the partner is not available through TCP/IP, Personal Communications will route the session over SNA. However, if the setting in the routing preference table for the destination LU is nonnative only, Personal Communications will attempt to set up the session over TCP/IP. If TCP/IP is not available, Personal Communications will not route the session over SNA, because the setting allows only Personal Communications to use nonnative transport. The routing preference table is used only for new sessions. Previously existing sessions use the same transport; they are not brought down and rerouted if the routing preference table is changed. You can set or modify the default routing preference to one of the following: 122 Administrator’s Guide and Reference Native first Requests are routed over SNA. If no SNA route is available, requests are routed over TCP/IP. Nonnative first Requests are routed over TCP/IP. If no TCP/IP route is available, requests are routed over SNA. Native only Requests are routed only over SNA. If no SNA route is available, the connection will fail. Nonnative only Requests are routed only over TCP/IP. If no TCP/IP route is available, the connection will fail. Helpful Hints This section contains helpful hints on tuning, TCP/IP connectivity via SLIP or PPP, and dynamic IP addresses. Tuning If you can access an LU through multiple SNA over TCP/IP gateways, and you have mapped that LU name to multiple IP addresses, increase the Connection retry duration and Connection wait time limit when configuring the AnyNet base parameters. This ensures that TCP attempts to connect to all possible adapters and gateways. It can take as long as 90 seconds for a TCP connection to fail to an inactive IP address. Connecting to eServer i5 or iSeries If you are unable to connect to eServer i5 or iSeries using SNA over TCP/IP, use the following procedure: 1. Make sure that the ANYNET support on the eServer i5 or iSeries is activated. Issue the command DSPNETA on the eServer i5 or iSeries and make sure the ANYNET status is yes. 2. Edit the HOSTS file on the PC, mapping the IP address to the CP name of the eServer i5 or iSeries. 3. Reboot the PC; the SNA over TCP/IP connection is then activated. Dynamic IP Addresses Generally, AnyNet SNA over TCP/IP depends on SNA resources (for example, LU names, CP names, or idblk/num) being statically mapped to IP addresses. However, depending on your configuration and how your connections are initiated, you might be able to use AnyNet SNA over TCP/IP in environments where IP addresses are dynamically assigned (for example, DHCP). APPC or CPI-C Applications An SNA over TCP/IP access node with a dynamically assigned IP address may always initiate sessions to another SNA over TCP/IP access node or gateway with a static IP address. The only way an SNA over TCP/IP access node or gateway with a static IP address (node A) can initiate a session to a partner with a dynamic IP address (node B) is: v Node B initiated a session to or through node A first. Chapter 12. AnyNet SNA over TCP/IP 123 v The session initiated in Step 1 is still active. Dependent LU Applications Note: The information in this section applies to LU 0, 1, 2, 3, or dependent 6.2 applications. SNA over TCP/IP access nodes with dynamically assigned IP addresses can support dependent LU communications if the following criteria are met. v Dependent LU communication is occurring through an SNA gateway either through: – Communications Manager/2 V5 or later – Communications Server for Windows 5.0 or later v The SNA over TCP/IP access node with a dynamically assigned IP address initiates connections to an SNA gateway with a static IP address. Dependent LU communication through DLUS/DLUR over AnyNet SNA over TCP/IP is not supported if the DLUR node has a dynamically assigned IP address. AnyNet Configuration Examples This section includes examples of AnyNet running SNA over IP connections.The following configuration instructions are complete only for the Windows NT operating system.

Devices Parts of the workstation hardware, such as adapters, that are used to transmit and receive data. DLUR PUs A dependent logical unit requester (DLUR) physical unit (PU) is a PU in an APPN end node that owns dependent LUs, but requests that a dependent LU server provide the SSCP services for those dependent LUs. Focal Points A system that provides centralized network management services. Local LU 0 to 3 A local logical unit (LU) type 0, 1, 2, or 3 is a dependent LU on the workstation that provides services for 3270 terminal and printer emulation applications. Local LU 6.2 A local logical unit (LU) type 6.2 is an independent or dependent LU that provides APPC services. LU 6.2 Sessions Transports data between two partner LU 6.2s. Conversations between transaction programs use LU 6.2 sessions. Mode The name used by the initiator of a session to designate the characteristics desired for the session, such as traffic pacing values, message-length limits, sync point and cryptography options, and the class of service (COS) within the transport network. Node The control point that manages the node and its associated resources. The local node provides APPN services. Partner LU 6.2 A remote computer that communicates through an APPC session with local LU 6.2s. RTP Connections In high-performance routing (HPR), a rapid transport protocol (RTP) connection is the connection established between the endpoints of the route to transport session traffic. Transaction Programs A transaction program (TP) is a program that processes transactions in an SNA network. There are two kinds of TPs: application transaction programs and service transaction programs. Starting Node Operations To start Node Operations, click the SNA Node Operations icon in the Personal Communications folder; or, from an active session window, click Actions → Launch → SNA Node Operations. Using the Menu Bar From the menu bar of the SNA Node Operations utility, click one of the following: Chapter 13. SNA Node Operations 137 Operations To start or stop a SNA node. To start a node, select the configuration file you want to use. To change session limits (CNOS). To apply a new configuration file, select the configuration file you want to use. Launch To launch to other Personal Communications programs, such as Log Viewer, Trace Facility, or SNA Node Configuration.

Administrator’s Guide and Reference Deleting a Resource To 1. 2. 3. delete a resource: Select a resource from the pull-down list on the tool bar. Select the first column of the item, and right mouse click to display the pop-up. Select Delete to delete the resource. You should stop a resource (make it inactive) before redefining it. You do not need to delete the resource before redefining it. Changing an HPR Path Switch To perform a high performance routing (HPR) path switch: 1. Select RTP connections from the pull-down list on the tool bar. 2. Select the first column of the item, and right mouse click to display the pop-up. 3. Select HPR path switch to change the path for the data on this RTP connection. Updating SNA Resources Dynamically It is not necessary to delete an SNA resource before redefining it. A resource must be inactive, however, when you redefine it. If a redefinition is rejected for a reason other than that the resource is active, a STATE_CHECK return code is returned as well as a specific secondary return code, as listed in the NOF specification. Most rejections are due to inconsistencies in the configuration, such as one of the following: v Attempting to define an LS with the adjacent CP name set to the local CP name. v Attempting to define two link stations on a non-switched port with the same destination address. Such rejections occur regardless of whether you are defining a resource for the first time or redefining it. Keep in mind the following when redefining resources: v You cannot change the ls_role of a port that has link stations defined on it. The link stations must be deleted before the port role can be changed (because an LS may default to the port ls_role). v You cannot change the type of a named DLC. The DLC definition must be deleted before the same name can be reused for a DLC of a different type. Command-Line Utilities Another way to perform SNA Node operations is to use the command line. Five command line programs are available to perform basic operations for the SNA Node. CSSTART [ -a | -d | -m | -h ] [ -p | -q ] [ cfgfile ] Use the CSSTART command to start the SNA Node with a specified configuration. The -a flag enables automatic start up after rebooting the machine. The -d flag sets the default SNA node configuration file. The -m flag stands for manual start which disables automatic start up after rebooting the machine. If the -p flag is used, all messages are shown in a message box pop-up. Messages are written to stdout by default. The -q flag suppresses all output. The -h flag summons the help data for this Chapter 13. SNA Node Operations 139 command. The cfgfile parameter is the name of the configuration file you want to use to start the product. If no cfgfile parameter is specified, the default configuration file is used. If no default configuration file has been set, an error is reported. If the node is successfully started, CSSTART returns zero, otherwise a nonzero value is returned. CSSTOP [ -p | -q ][ -h ] Use the CSSTOP command to stop the SNA Node. The flags have the same meaning as for CSSTART. If the node is successfully stopped then CSSTOP returns zero, otherwise a nonzero value is returned. CSQUERY [ -p | -q ][-h ] Use the CSQUERY command to query the status of the SNA Node. The flags have the same meaning as for CSSTART. Along with the status, the default and active configuration file names are shown. If the node is running, then CSQUERY returns zero; otherwise a nonzero value is returned. CSDSPY {resource [object_id] [/D#]} | [ -h ] Displays information about SNA node resources, where: resource One of the following: AIL AnyNet IP to LU mapping CNT Connection networks CON Connections CPS CPI-C side information DLC Data link controls DEV Devices DPU DLUR PUs FPT Focal Points LU0 Local LU 0 to 3 L62 Local LU 6.2 L6S LU 6.2 sessions MOD Modes NOD Nodes PLU Partner LU 6.2 RTP RTP connections TRP Transaction programs object_id Specifies a case-sensitive value (for example, LU001 or LINK001) to search for. Only objects whose first attribute matches this value are displayed. The object_id must be spelled correctly, including case (upper and lower).

SNA Cryptography Support SNA session-level encryption (SLE) enables secure data transfer between nodes running SNA applications. The request units (RUs) for all the SNA traffic across the selected session are encrypted. Software encryption/decryption is implemented with the Application Manager for Data Security (AMDSEC) utility. AMDSEC is a software implementation of the Common Cryptographic Architecture verbs used by SNA Session Level Encryption (SLE). A subset of these verbs are implemented and they are the ones required to allow data confidentiality. Because this is a complete software implementation, it will be slower than the conventional hardware-based encryption. SNA SLE is only supported for Windows NT, 2000, and XP platforms. Some of the supported environments are as follows: v 3270 emulation v APPC/CPI-C client-server applications v APPC over TCP/IP v Sockets over SNA: Encrypted transport sessions The key-encrypting keys can be added or accessed using the command-line utility amdsec.exe, which is available in the Personal Communications installation directory. Enabling and Using Session-Level Encryption Configuring Proper Key-Encrypting Keys Enter the key-encrypting keys before performing any operation. KEKs are shared between the LUs that are going to be involved. KEKs reside in key storage (.kek file) and are used to protect data (session) keys when they are sent to the partner node or Logical Unit (LU). The following commands are available to add or modify these keys: amdsec clear This command clears the AMDSEC key storage. All key-encrypting keys are discarded. amdsec pass <new passphrase> This command sets the AMDSEC passphrase. Using this passphrase, the key-encrypting keys are secured before they go to the storage file (by encryption). The default passphrase is amdsec security amdsec addkey <label> <key value> <key form> <option> amdsec adds a key-encrypted key to key storage. v <label> is the key label for this KEK (up to 5 key label tokens of 8 bytes each). See “Naming Labels for KEKs” on page 144 for further details. v <key value> is the KEK value. It must be 16 bytes in hexadecimal (32 hex digits), optionally separated by the - (hyphen) character. v <key form> is the value importer or exporter. v <option> is the value translate. Specify this option to have the translate attribute for this key. © Copyright IBM Corp. 1989, 2004 143 This parameter is optional. Data key translate is required only when you are running APPN encryption. Example: amdsec addkey cm@[email protected] 8182-d4e7-836a-4d6f-8182-d4e7-830a-4d6f importer amdsec addkey cm@[email protected] 8182-d4e7-836a-4d6f-8182-d4e7-830a-4d6f exporter When entering KEKs, it is often easier to edit the commands in a batch (.bat) file and then execute the command to enter your keys in key storage. amdsec repkey <label> <key value> <key form> <option> amdsec replaces a key-encrypted key in key storage. v <label> is the key label for this KEK (up to 5 key label tokens of 8 bytes each). See “Naming Labels for KEKs” for further details. v <key value> is the KEK value. It must be 16 bytes in hexadecimal (32 hex digits), optionally separated by the - (hyphen) character. v <key form> is the value importer or exporter. v <option> is the value translate. Specify this option to have the translate attribute for this key. This parameter is optional. Data key translate is required only when you are running APPN encryption. Example: amdsec repkey cm@[email protected] 8182-d4e7-836a-4d6f-8182-d4e7-830a-4d6f importer amdsec repkey cm@[email protected] 8182-d4e7-836a-4d6f-8182-d4e7-830a-4d6f exporter amdsec list amdsec lists your KEK labels in key storage. Example: amdsec list Naming Labels for KEKs Key Labels for Dependent LU Encryption The key label when implementing session level encryption for dependent LU sessions uses the the following naming convention: CM@[email protected] CM is a constant prefix @ is a constant delimiter LU identifies an LU key-encrypting key IM identifies an importer key-encrypting key netid1.cpname1 is the fully qualified name of the local node where the key-encrypting key will be used v puname is the PU name of the subarea or DLUR PU, as configured in Communications Server v locaddr is the network addressable unit address or local address of the dependent LU. It has to be of the form nnn with possible values from 1 to 255 (for example, 001, 002, 003, . . ., 255) v v v v v 144 Administrator’s Guide and Reference Note: For encryption of dependent LU sessions you only need importer KEKs in the Communications Server node, because LUA sessions are always secondary. Key Labels for APPC Encryption The following key labels are used for the key-encrypting keys: CM@[email protected] CM@[email protected] v CM is a constant prefix v @ is a constant delimiter v LU identifies an LU key-encrypting key v IM identifies an importer key-encrypting key v EX identifies an exporter key-encrypting key v netid1.cpname1 is the fully qualified name of the local node where the key-encrypting key will be used v netid.luname is the fully qualified name of the partner LU Note: In APPC, an independent LU can initiate a session (primary LU) or it can be secondary when the partner LU initiates the LU 6.2 session. If the LU initiates a session, an exporter KEK is required in key storage. Otherwise, an importer KEK will be used. Enabling Cryptography in SNA Node Configuration Open the SNA Node Configuration utility (pcscfg.exe). In the Connection Configuration section of the LU you are planning to use, select the Use Cryptography option. Note: For LU 6.2, a mode has to be defined with Use Cryptography enabled in the Configure Modes → Advanced panel. That mode has to be used while connecting to the peer LU Chapter 14.

Multiple-Language Support Personal Communications multiple-language support provides the capability to allow users to interact with more than a single language on their workstations. Prior versions allowed for different languages to be displayed in emulator sessions; now, the Windows graphical user interface elements of the Personal Communications user interface can be tailored to the languages of users, allowing more flexibility in configuring and using Personal Communications. This chapter provides a basic description of these facilities. Refer to Quick Beginnings for a description of the procedures for changing your configured user interface language. The particulars of installing the support are described in CD-ROM Guide to Installation. Overview There are two system-related factors which govern the usage of multiple languages by Personal Communications users: System Locale This is set in the Windows Regional Settings (Regional Options in Windows 2000 and Regional and Language Options in Windows XP) control panel applet; it determines what system user interface languages can be viewed. Language Groups Each system locale is associated with a language group; some groups have only one language; others support several, allowing for simultaneous viewing of applications in more than one language. System Locale When you choose a language on the Regional Settings (or Options) screen, a system locale is established as the basis for interacting with the system; Windows interactions of certain applications (such as Personal Communications) are governed by this setting. In Windows 2000, you can change the system locale in the Regional Options → General → Set Default... → Select System Locale dialog. For Windows XP, Personal Communications uses the settings specified in Regional and Language → Advanced → Language for non-Unicode programs. Notes: 1. Windows common dialogs, such as file open and print, may not change to match the system locale; they will be displayed in the language chosen when Windows was installed. 2. The actions needed to switch system locales depend on the languages installed and the version of Windows. Refer to your Windows documentation for details. Language Groups The system locale set when Windows is started determines which Windows/ANSI code page is used by applications; in turn, this code page determines which language group an application can use. The language groups and languages supported for Personal Communications user interface are: © Copyright IBM Corp. 1989, 2004 149 Cyrillic Russian Japanese Japanese Latin 1 v Brazilian-Portuguese v Danish v v v v v v v v v v Dutch English Finnish French German Italian Norwegian Portuguese Spanish Swedish v v v v Czech Hungarian Polish Slovenian Latin 2 Turkish Turkish Notes: 1. For Windows XP, most language groups are installed by default. You can specify supplemental language support. 2. English text can be displayed for any system locale without significant corruption. Therefore, English is an implicit member of each language group. 3. There are additional languages supported for host emulation sessions; these groups only concern user interface language. Personal Communications User Interface Languages It is important to understand how Personal Communications uses the capability for supporting multiple languages. Like other applications, Personal Communications can use any language within the language group for which the current system locale is set. As an administrator, you have the ability to change that locale, using the Windows Regional Settings control panel applet. There are several considerations to keep in mind: v There is a default Personal Communications user interface language; this is set at installation, and applies to every user of the Windows system. Note: This default is set to match the Windows user default locale. v The Personal Communications user interface language is a preference that is stored per user; thus, a shared workstation can support users of different languages. 150 Administrator’s Guide and Reference v If a user does not have a user interface language preference defined, Personal Communications uses the Personal Communications default language for that machine. v If the user’s language preference cannot be displayed (because of a language group mismatch) the user interface is in the Personal Communications default language; a warning is displayed. v If the Personal Communications default language is incompatible with the system language, English is used as the default. v Each user in a client/server or Windows Terminal Server (WTS) environments can have his own Personal Communications user interface language. Multiple Sessions It is possible to open multiple Personal Communications emulation sessions simultaneously; in previous versions of Personal Communications these sessions could interact with hosts of different languages. With Version 5.8 it is also possible to have simultaneous sessions with different user interface languages; this is only possible for languages within a language group. In order to do this, you start a session in one language, then change the Personal Communications configuration to another language; when you then start a new session, it will use the newly selected language. Other Considerations To prevent the generation of log files in several languages the Personal Communications log file is recorded in the default Personal Communications user interface language. Some of the Personal Communications components (such as LLC2 drivers) do not require multiple-language support; they only use the default Personal Communications language. Some Personal Communications components (the keyboard customizer, keypad, play/record, copy/paste and macro components, for example) record, store, and insert language-sensitive text into Personal Communications sessions. It should be noted that text created in one language group may be corrupted and meaningless when inserted in a session running under another language group. For instance, keyboard customizer text created on a Japanese Personal Communications configuration will not be readable on a French configuration. Chapter 15.

Country Codes and Character Sets 155 IBM Japanese Character Set (2-Byte Codes) The IBM Japanese character set defines characters that consist of 2-byte codes. Character Types The following characters are included in this character set: v Basic kanji set v Basic non-kanji set: alphabet, numerals, Katakana, Hiragana, symbols, and space v v v v Extended kanji set New extended kanji set New extended non-kanji set Extended non-kanji set: Roman numerals, Greek alphabet, and Russian alphabet In addition to these characters, you can define up to 1880 (6205 for extended Unicode subset) user-defined characters. Character Size A kanji character is displayed on the screen using the area of two SBCS characters; it is usually enclosed with the shift characters hex 0E and hex 0F. Similarly, when a kanji character is printed, it uses the area of two SBCS printed characters. This size is equivalent to double the area used by alphabetic, numeric, and Katakana characters when they are displayed or printed. IBM Kanji Codes The following tables show the relationship between kanji and IBM kanji codes. Table 6.

Switching Keyboard between Thai and Latin Press either Alt+left Shift or Alt+right Shift to toggle the keyboard between Thai and Latin. Language Shift Status The status line of each emulator session shows a language shift indicator. If keyboard is in Thai language shift, an indicator TH will appear in the status line. Thai Display Composed Mode Mode 1: Non-compose mode No character composition occurs in this mode. Mode 2: Composed mode Thai characters are auto-composed in this mode. No column realignment is performed. Mode 3: Composed with space alignment In this mode of composing, three consecutive spaces cause column realignment. The realignment occurs whenever composing routine finds three consecutive spaces. Thus if all fields have at least three trailing spaces, then all fields of all records will be properly aligned. Mode 4: Composed with EOF alignment In this mode of composing, the EOF character (Hexadecimal ’EA’) also causes column realignment. Whenever the composing routine finds a single Chapter 16. Country Codes and Character Sets 159 EOF, it deletes the EOF and performs column realignment. If two consecutive EOFs are found, no realignment occurs, one EOF is deleted, and one EOF is treated as data. Mode 5: Composed with space and EOF alignment This mode of composing performs the column realignment function of both mode 3 and mode 4. Printer Space Adjustment If your printer needs space adjustment for Thai printing, add the following statement to PCSWIN.INI, which resides in the user-class application data directory: [Thai] PrintAdjust=x The value of x can be: 0 no adjustment (same as no PrintAdjust statement) 1 Perform adjustment when found three consecutive spaces 2 Perform adjustment when found EOF character 3 Perform adjustment when found three consecutive spaces or EOF character (combine 1 and 2) Thai Scalable (Truetype) Font Support on Printers Personal Communications provides a Thai Truetype font, ThaiPhuket. To print Thai characters, you can install a Thai scalable (Truetype) font as follows: 1. Open the Control Panel Folder. a. Click Start on the task bar. b. Move pointer to Settings and click Control Panel. 2. Open the Fonts Folder (Double-click the Fonts icon). 3. On the file menu, select Install New Font. 4. Click the drive and folder where Personal Communications is installed. 5. Double-click on ThaiPhuket. 160 Administrator’s Guide and Reference Chapter 17. Bidirectional Language Support (Arabic and Hebrew) Considerations for Printing PDT printing mode requires the IBM 864 code page font to be installed for Arabic printing, and the IBM Hebrew 862 code page font for Hebrew printing. Printing in Arabic Using the Windows Printer Driver To set up your printer to use a Windows printer driver, do the following: 1. In the session window, click File → Printer Setup. The Printer Setup dialog lists the supported printers. 2. Select the desired printer driver from the Printer list. The default value is the Windows default printer. 3. Confirm that the Use PDT option is clear and click OK. Page Setup: For 5250 printer sessions, click the Advanced Options tab in the Page Setup dialog. Set the Printer Font Code Page to 1008. For 3270 sessions, click the Text tab in the Page Setup dialog. Set the Font to Typing Arabic. Using Printer Definition Table (PDT) Files To set up your printer to use a PDT file, do the following: 1. In the session window, click File → Printer Setup. The Printer Setup dialog lists the supported printers. 2. Select the desired port from the Printer list. 3. Select the Use PDT box and click Select PDT. 4. Select a PDT file to be used and click OK. Page Setup: For 5250 printer sessions, click the Advanced Options tab in the Page Setup dialog. Set the Printer Font Code Page to 864. Creating an Arabic PDT file for an Arabic printer: If none of the predefined PDTs are acceptable, you can create a new one. To create a PDT, you must create a printer definition file (PDF) and then compile it to create a PDT. You should understand a PDF’s structure and the types of statements. See Chapter 20, “Building a Printer Definition Table (PDT) for PC400,” on page 191 for information about building a PDT. To customize an existing PDF file for Arabic, do the following: 1. In the macro definition dialog, define a macro containing a printer command that selects the Arabic printer font. Define the escape sequences of the fonts that you want to use. For example, /* NSM © Copyright IBM Corp. 1989, 2004 Naseem ( 1 0 V ( s 0 p 1 5 h 9 v 0 s 0 b 3 T */ EQU 1B 28 31 30 56 1B 28 73 30 70 31 35 68 39 76 30 73 30 62 33 54 161 Note: You can get the font escape sequences by printing out the font names from the printer menus. 2. Add this macro to the START_JOB escape sequence in the Control Code section of the PDF. For example, START_JOB=CUL CBP NSM /* Switch to Arabic Font */ 3. Save your new PDF file and copy it to the pdfpdt directory in the Personal Communications program directory. 4. In the Printer Setup → Select PDT file dialog, click Convert PDF. 5. Select the PDF file that you modified, and click Convert. 6. In the Select PDT file dialog, select the converted PDT file Using Host Print Transform (5250 only) When configuring an Arabic 5250 printer session, the Host Print Transform (HPT) mode can be selected. This mode requires that the 864 font be installed on the printer. To use HPT, do the following: 1. Select Printer session type in the Session Parameters – 5250 Host panel. Click the Advanced tab. 2. Select the Host Print Transform=Yes option. In the eServer i5 or iSeries screen, do the following: 1. Specify that Host Print Transform will be used in the device description of a printer: Host print transform . . . . . . TRANSFORM 2. (*YES) Specify your printer type and model: Manufacturer type and model . . MFRTYPMDL (*___________) 3. Ensure that the character identifier parameter is capable of handling Arabic: Character identifier: CHRID Graphic character set . . . . 235 Code page . . . . . . . . . . . . 420 Page Setup: Click the Advanced Options tab in the Page Setup dialog. Set the Printer Font Code Page to 864. DAT File for 5250 Arabic For Arabic 5250 print sessions, selecting the 420 host code page prompts Personal Communications to load the PCSPDA.DAT file. This file ensures that the host-specified fonts map properly to the Typing Arabic print font. If the 037 (U.S.) host code page is selected in a Win32 OS session, the PCSPD.SAM file is loaded automatically. This file replaces the Courier font with Courier New. For 5250 sessions in OS/2, Personal Communications uses the original PCSPD.DAT file, since Euro support is implemented in Courier in OS/2, not in Courier New (as in Windows). The user can specify the DAT file using the .ws parameter DATFILE=xxxx where xxxx is the name of the preferred DAT file. 162 Administrator’s Guide and Reference Bidirectional Arabic Support Limitations The Bidirectional Text Assist Function is not supported in the Personal Communications iSeries component. As a result, the user cannot run Bidirectional OfficeVision/400™. Installation Tips To set up an Arabic workstation, do the following: 1. Select 420 Arabic Speaking as the host code page in the Customize Communication panel. 2. Select Arabic Speaking as the keyboard layout. 3. In the Select Display Font panel, choose ARB3270 at the Automatic Sizing list box or at the Fixed size font selection. 4. In the API Settings panel, select 1256 as the DDE/EHLLAPI PC code page. 5. Choose Typing Arabic as the font in the Page Setup panel. To set up for Numeric Swapping or Symmetric Swapping: 1. Select Display Setup from the Edit → Preferences → Appearance pull-down list. 2. Select Swapping from the list box at the left, where the settings for numerics and symmetric characters is displayed. Changes are immediately reflected on the active session. Note: Numeric Swapping is a 3270-only feature. This function will not be selectable if the session is an iSeries session. The supported Arabic fonts are: v ARB3270, which is found in the PCSANSIA.FON, or MFIANSIA.FON. To use the MFIANSIA.FON: 1. Rename the file PCSANSIA.FON to PCSANSIA.ORG. 2. Copy MFIANSIA.FON to PCSANSIA.FON. v Typing Arabic, which is found in the file TYPEARB.TTF. The Arabic font files are located on the product CD-ROM in the FONT subdirectory. Bidirectional Keyboard Functions for 3270 The keys unique to Bidirectional 3270 are: v Language selection: This function is activated by the key combination Alt+Shift and allows you to change the language layer. If the language layer is Latin, pressing the Alt+RightShift key combination changes the language layer to Arabic. If the language layer is Arabic, pressing the Alt+LeftShift key combination changes the language layer to Latin. v Screen Reverse: This function is activated by the key combination Alt+NewLine and reverses the screen image. If the screen orientation is left-to-right, pressing this key combination reverses the screen image right-to-left. If the screen orientation is right-to-left, pressing this key combination reverses the screen image to left-to-right. Note that the operator information area is not reversed by this operation. When the screen orientation is changed, the language layer is changed to the default language of the new screen orientation. If the screen is reversed to Chapter 17. Bidirectional Language Support (Arabic and Hebrew) 163 right-to-left, then the language is changed to Arabic. If the screen is reversed to left-to-right, then the language is changed to one using Latin characters. If the swapping of symmetric characters is enabled, the inversion of the screen causes directional characters to be replaced by their counterparts. If the swapping of numeric characters is enabled, the inversion of the screen causes Hindi numerals to be replaced by their Arabic counterparts and the Arabic numerals to be replaced by their Hindi counterparts. v Field Reverse: This function is activated by the key combination Alt+NumLock and toggles the field orientation to either opposite to or the same as the screen orientation. The text in the field is not inverted. The cursor orientation is set equal to the new field orientation and the language layer is selected accordingly. If the cursor is in the first logical position of a field or line, when you select the field reverse function, the cursor skips to the other side of that field or line, which becomes the first logical position. If the cursor was not in the first position of the field or line, when selecting the field reverse function, the cursor remains in its position and allows natural and correct editing of existing text. v Auto Field Reverse: This function is activated by the key combination Alt+NumPad5, which toggles the auto field reverse mode for the current screen orientation. Auto field reverse affects the automatic selection of the field orientation of unprotected fields: – When auto field reverse is disabled, upon initial entry to a field (whether numeric or alphanumeric), the field orientation is always set equal to the screen orientation. – When auto field reverse is enabled, upon initial entry to an alphanumeric field, the field orientation will be set to right-to-left (for both left-to-right and right-to-left screen orientations). – When auto field reverse is enabled, upon initial entry to a numeric field, the field orientation will be set to left-to-right (for both left-to-right and right-to-left screen orientations). v Push/End Push: This function is activated by the key combination Shift+NumLock and allows the entering and editing of text whose direction is opposite from the field direction. When this function is activated, the cursor orientation is reversed, the language layer is changed accordingly, and a push segment is created. The PUSH function has two secondary modes: – Boundary mode: This mode is activated upon entering push mode. In this mode, the cursor remains in its position, and the typing of additional characters pushes the text in the direction opposite from the field direction. To indicate this boundary mode, the cursor has a block shape. – Edit mode: This mode is activated when the cursor is moved from its boundary position into the PUSH SEGMENT area. In this mode, you can edit the text within the PUSH segment, while typing in the field’s natural direction. END PUSH, activated by the Shift+NumLock key sequence, terminates the push mode. Note: In Windows mode, END PUSH is activated by the Shift+Numpad/ key sequence. 164 Administrator’s Guide and Reference The cursor jumps to the end of the PUSH segment, and its direction changes to the original direction. You can also perform END PUSH by pressing any field exit keys (for example, Cursor Up or Cursor Down) or an AID key (for example, Enter) v AutoPush: This function is activated by the key combination Alt+NumPad/ and assists the terminal operator in typing mixed left-to-right and right-to-left text. When enabled, reversed segments are automatically initiated and terminated, according to the entered character or the selected language layer. This mode relieves the operator from manually pressing Push, as it is automatically invoked. – In right-to-left fields, typing a digit or a Latin letter causes the automatic initiation of Push, without language change. Further Latin letters or digits will continue the push mode; any other character automatically terminates push mode. This feature allows you to type Arabic text with imbedded numbers or Latin words without using Push/End Push. – In left-to-right fields, typing an Arabic character or special character causes the automatic initiation of Push, without language change. Typing any digit or Latin character causes the automatic termination of the mode. This allows the user to type Latin text with imbedded Arabic words using language layer selection rather than Push/End Push. Arabic Character Shape Selection Functions There are five shape selection keys: one for Contextual Shape Determination (CSD), and 4 for Specific Shaping modes (Base/Isolated, Initial, Middle, Final). The default Shaping Mode is CSD. The keys unique to Bidirectional 3270 are: v Contextual Shape Determination (CSD) key: Pressing this key sets the shaping mode to Contextual Shape Determination (CSD), which is the default. Note that contextual shape determination is performed only for right-to-left text entered or modified by the operator. This key toggles between CSD and Base mode. Pressing any of the Specific shape selection keys disables CSD. The character Alef-Madda in the operator information area indicates that CSD is selected. This function is initiated by the key combination Alt+NumPad4. v Specific Shape Selection keys: – Base/Isolated: initiated by the key combination Alt+NumPad2 – Initial: initiated by the key combination Alt+NumPad1 – Final: initiated by the key combination Alt+NumPad7 – Middle: initiated by the key combination Alt+NumPad8 Pressing one of the above keys disables CSD, and sets shaping mode to the selected value. Arabic letters typed from then on will have the selected shape. Note: Some Arabic characters do not have middle, initial, or final shapes. In this case, if the user enters one of those characters where the requested shape does not exist, then the closest shape is selected according to the following rules: – Instead of initial, isolated is selected. – Instead of final, isolated is selected. Chapter 17. Bidirectional Language Support (Arabic and Hebrew) 165 – Instead of middle, final (if it exists) or isolated is selected. The selected Shaping Mode is shown in the operator information area: – Isolated GHEIN indicates Base/Isolated Shaping Mode – Initial GHEIN indicates Initial Shaping Mode – Middle GHEIN indicates Middle Shaping Mode – Final GHEIN indicates Final Shaping Mode v Field Shape key: Pressing the key combination Alt+NumPad+ causes the shaping of the Arabic data present in the current field or line. The cursor position remains unchanged. v Field De-Shape key: The key combination Alt+NumPad Enter de-shapes the Arabic data present in the current field or line. All Arabic letters are converted to their Base/Isolated shapes. Personal Communications iSeries The keys unique to Bidirectional PC400 are: v Language selection: This function is activated by the key combination Alt+Shift and allows the changing of the language layer. If the language layer is Latin, by pressing the Alt+RightShift key combination, the language layer will change to Arabic. If the language layer is Arabic, by pressing the Alt+LeftShift key combination, the language layer will change to Latin. v Screen Reverse: This function is activated by the key combination Alt+NewLine and reverses the screen image. If the screen orientation is left-to-right, by pressing this key combination the screen image will be reversed to right-to-left. If the screen orientation is right-to-left, pressing this key combination reverses the screen image to left-to-right. Note that the operator information area is not reversed by this operation. When the screen orientation is changed, the language layer is changed to the default language of the new screen orientation. If the screen is reversed to right-to-left, the language is changed to Arabic. If the screen is reversed to left-to-right, the language is changed to one using Latin characters. The inversion of the screen causes directional characters to be replaced by their counterparts. v Field Reverse: This function is activated by the key NumLock and toggles the field orientation to either left-to-right or right-to-left. The text in the field is not inverted. The cursor orientation is set equal to the new field orientation and the language layer is selected accordingly. 166 Administrator’s Guide and Reference If the cursor is in the first logical position of a field or line, when selecting field reverse function, the cursor skips to the other side of that field or line, which now becomes the first logical position. If the cursor was not in the first position of the field or line, when selecting field reverse function, the cursor remains in its position and allows natural and correct editing of existing text. v Close: This function is activated by the key combination NumPad/ and is provided so that the data entered in one keying direction can be concatenated with the data that was previously entered in the opposite direction. It operates as follows: – All embedded nulls are removed from the current line. – Concatenated text is moved to the right boundary of the field (if the field direction is right-to-left) or to the left boundary (if the field direction is left-to-right). – The cursor direction is set to the field direction. – The language layer is set to the default for the field direction. – If the screen orientation is now left-to-right, the cursor is positioned at the first null to the right of the concatenated text. – If the screen orientation is now right-to-left, the cursor is positioned at the first null to the left of the concatenated text. v Base: This function is activated by the key combination Ctrl+Home; it is a toggle key that activates or deactivates the Automatic Shape determination function for Arabic RTL text. It is valid only when processing RTL Arabic text. If it is pressed in an LTR field, an operator error 0027 results. Bidirectional Hebrew Support The Bidirectional Hebrew support in 3270 enables the program to emulate an English/Hebrew 3270 display terminal. Special Language and Bidirectional functions are added to the list of standard functions supported by the emulation program. Bidirectional Functions for 3270 Table 12. Bidirectional Key-Combinations for 3270 Function Combination Hebrew Language Alt+RightShift English Language Alt+LeftShift Screen Reverse Alt+Enter Field Reverse Alt+NumLock Auto Field Reverse Alt+NumPad5 Push Shift+NumLock End Push Shift+NumPad/ Autopush Alt+NumPad/ The 3270 host system can run as a native Windows application. The layout and user interface functions in the Windows-based product conform to the IBM user interface standard (SAA/CUA®); they are similar to the layout and functions implemented in other IBM products (for example, OS/2). v Language Selection: The key combination Alt+Shift allows you to change the language layer. If the language layer is Latin, pressing Alt+RightShift changes Chapter 17. Bidirectional Language Support (Arabic and Hebrew) 167 the language layer to Hebrew. If the language layer is Hebrew, pressing Alt+LeftShift changes the language layer to Latin. v Screen Reverse: This function, activated by the Alt+Enter key sequence, reverses the screen image. If the screen direction is left-to-right, the screen image is inverted and displayed from right-to-left. Pressing this hotkey again returns the screen to its original direction, left-to-right. When the screen orientation is changed, the language layer is changed to the default language of the new screen orientation. If the screen is changed to right-to-left, the language changes to Hebrew. If the screen is changed to left-to-right, the language changes to Latin. Note that the status line (OIA) never reverses. It always displays from left to right. v Field Reverse: In most cases, the field direction is the same as the general screen direction. However, sometimes it is necessary to have a field whose direction is the opposite of the screen direction. The Field Reverse function, activated by the Alt+NumLock key sequence, allows such transitions. When this function is activated, the typing direction is reversed, but the existing text in the field and the screen image does not change. This function creates a temporary change which stays in effect as long as the cursor remains within the field, or until Field Reverse is activated again. If the function is activated while the cursor is at the beginning of a line or field, the cursor jumps to the end of the line or field, so that the reversed field begins logically from that position. Otherwise, the cursor remains in its position and allows natural and correct editing of existing texts whose direction is the opposite of the screen direction. v Auto Field Reverse: This function sets the field orientation for you, when you are entering data for mixed applications (Hebrew and English). This is done by automatically activating the Field Reverse function. The Auto Field Reverse mode is activated by the Alt+NumPad5 key sequence, and can be applied independently for each screen orientation, left-to-right or right-to-left. – If the Auto Field Reverse option is activated on a right-to-left screen, the Field Reverse function is automatically activated every time the cursor moves to a numeric field. The cursor then jumps to the leftmost position of the numeric field, to allow left-to-right typing of numbers. – If the Auto Field Reverse option is activated on a left-to-right screen, the Field Reverse function is automatically activated only when the cursor moves to an alphanumeric field. The cursor then jumps to the rightmost position of the field, to allow right-to-left typing of Hebrew. Initially, the Auto Field Reverse option is enabled when the screen direction is right-to-left, and is not enabled when the screen direction is left-to-right. To terminate the Auto Field Reverse mode, press Alt+NumPad5 again. v Push and End Push: These functions allow you to type or edit text whose direction is the opposite of the field direction. When this function is activated the cursor orientation is reversed, the language layer is changed accordingly, and a push segment is created. The Push function is activated by the Shift+NumLock key sequence. The Push function has two secondary modes: – Boundary Mode: This mode is activated upon entering the Push mode. In this mode, the cursor remains in its position, and the typing of additional characters pushes the text in the direction opposite to the field direction. To indicate this boundary mode, the cursor shape is changed. 168 Administrator’s Guide and Reference – Edit Mode: This mode is activated when the cursor is moved from its boundary position into the Push Segment area. In this mode, you can change the text within the Push segment, while typing in the text’s natural direction. End Push, activated by the Shift+NumPad/ key sequence, terminates the temporary mode. The cursor jumps to the end of the Push segment, and its direction reverts to that of the field. v Autopush: The Autopush mode makes work easier and more efficient when typing Hebrew and English mixed text. When this mode is enabled, reverse segments initiate and terminate automatically, according to the entered character or the selected language layer. It relieves the operator from manually selecting Push and End Push. Autopush is especially useful for typing digits in Hebrew fields (right-to-left fields). The Autopush mode is activated by the Alt+NumPad/ key sequence; it can be applied independently to fields whose direction is left-to-right or right-to-left. In this mode, the Push and End Push functions are automatically activated according to the language of the text being typed. There is no need to worry about activating and terminating the Push mode manually. – In right-to-left fields, typing a digit or a Latin letter causes the automatic initiation of Push, without language change. Additional Latin letters or digits will continue the push mode; any other character automatically terminates push mode. This feature allows you to type Hebrew text with imbedded numbers or Latin words without using Push/End Push. – In left-to-right fields, typing a Hebrew character causes the automatic initiation of Push. Typing any digit or Latin character causes the automatic termination of the mode. This allows the user to type Latin text with imbedded Hebrew words by using language layer selection rather than Push/End Push. Keyboard Layout Two Hebrew keyboard templates (Bulletin and Old Code) are supplied with the product. The Old-Code template is similar to the Bulletin template, with the following exceptions: v Shift of ″6″ (s-6) produces the Greek Delta symbol (ASCII 235, hex EB), representing the old Israeli Lira, instead of the regular Cent symbol. v Shift of ″7″ (s-7) does not produce anything (the Ampersand symbol is not available in Old Code). v In English language mode, unshifted English letters produce uppercase letters (A-Z), rather than lower case letters (a-z), whether Caps Lock is ON or OFF. Configuration To set up a Hebrew workstation, do the following: 1. Select 424 Hebrew (Bulletin Code) or 803 Hebrew (Old Code) as the host code page in the Customize Communication panel. 2. Select Hebrew (Bulletin Code) or Hebrew (Old Code) as the keyboard layout. 3. Select Transfer from the Edit → Preferences pull-down menu. 4. From the General tab, select 862, 916, or 1255 from the PC Code-Page list. 5. In the API Settings panel, select 862, 916, or 1255 as the DDE/EHLLAPI PC code page. 6. In the Select Display Font panel, choose HEB3270 at the Automatic Sizing list box or at the Fixed size font selection. 7. Select Page Setup from the File pull-down menu. 8. In the Text tab, choose (Courier Heb) printer font. Chapter 17. Bidirectional Language Support (Arabic and Hebrew) 169 Font If you are accustomed to a traditional Display Station such as IBM InfoWindow® 3472, you may not prefer the Personal Communications font. You can try an alternative font by changing the font files as follows: 1. Rename PCSANSIH.FON file to BASANSIH.FON 2. Copy ALTANSIH.FON to PCSANSIH.FON In order to use the ALTANSIH.FON file, you must order the needed diskette separately. File Transfer with 862 Code Page PC code page 862 is the IBM number for the Hebrew code page. Microsoft Windows (Hebrew) uses a code page based on (but not identical to) the ISO code page, and quite different from code page 862. Apart from the differences in code points, Microsoft Windows for Hebrew works with logical text. This means that Windows applications are expected to store text in logical order (that is, the same order as typed but not as displayed). Accordingly, the text that is displayed on the screen is different from the text that is processed by the application. Therefore, when transferring files with translation to and from code page 862, there may be unexpected results (such as a different order of Hebrew text), in some cases. To overcome such problems, it is recommended after conversion of EBCDIC text to code page 862 to consider using the CONVERT program, provided as part of Microsoft Windows, which is capable of converting between logical text and visual text.

It functions as follows: – The cursor is repositioned according to the current cursor direction. When right-to-left, the cursor is placed at the current left boundary location. When left-to-right, the cursor is placed at the current right boundary location. – The cursor direction is then reversed; the Keyboard Layer you get depends on the new cursor direction. – Insert mode is reset. v Close: By pressing this key, data entered in one key direction is joined with data that was previously entered in the opposite direction: 170 Administrator’s Guide and Reference – All embedded null characters are removed from the current line (or field, if the field is contained on one line). – Joined text is moved to the right boundary of the field if the field direction is right-to-left, or to the left boundary if the field direction is left-to-right. – The remainder of the line (or the field, if contained on one line) is padded with null characters. – The cursor direction is set to the field direction. – If the cursor direction is now left-to-right, the cursor is positioned at the first null character to the right of the joined text. If the cursor direction is now right-to-left, the cursor is positioned at the first null character to the left of the joined text. – Insert mode is reset. v Screen Reverse: same meaning as in “Bidirectional Functions for 3270” on page 167 Bidirectional Support for VT The bidirectional support in VT enables the program to emulate English/Arabic or English/Hebrew VT 340 7-bit, VT 340 8-bit, VT 100, VT 52, and VT ANSI display terminals.

Building a Printer Definition Table (PDT) © Copyright IBM Corp. 1989, 2004 179 180 Administrator’s Guide and Reference Chapter 19. Building a Printer Definition Table (PDT) for PC/3270 This chapter, in combination with Chapter 20, “Building a Printer Definition Table (PDT) for PC400,” on page 191, explains how to customize a printer definition table (PDT file) for PC/3270. Chapter 20, “Building a Printer Definition Table (PDT) for PC400,” on page 191 contains basic information about creating and changing PDTs; this chapter contains specific information about creating PC/3270 PDTs. PDTs for PC/3270 and PC400 differ only slightly; if you use a common PDT (used for both PC/3270 and PC400), the additional statements for PC400 are ignored for PC/3270 processing. Similarly, statements unique to PC/3270 are ignored for PC400 processing. ASCII_PASSTHRU? and EBCDIC_PASSTHRU? The ASCII_PASSTHRU? and EBCDIC_PASSTHRU? PDF statements are new options available for PC/3270. See “Transparent Print Capability” on page 196 for details. Supplemental Explanation of PDF Statements for PC/3270 The following PDF statements have functions that differ from those for PC400. All statements are listed in “Field Names of Printer Definition Files” on page 208. MAXIMUM_PAGE_LENGTH Printed lines per page. If you change this value, you must change the value in the SET_PAGE_LENGTH=SFL value statement (see “Session parameters” on page 193) to be the same. MAXIMUM_PRINT_POSITION Printed characters per line. COMPRESS_LINE_SPACING? (For LU 3 only) Whether blank or null lines are to be printed if all characters on that line are nulls. FORM_FEED_ANY_POSITION? Whether a form feed is to be valid in any position. If NO, a form feed will be valid only in the following positions: v First print-position of the buffer v After a valid new line operation v First print-position of a line OVERRIDE_FORMATTED_PRINT? Whether nulls are to be printed as blanks. INTERV_REQ_TIMER This statement is ignored. INTERV_TIMER_ON_PE_ONLY? This statement is ignored. RESELECT_TIME_EXCPT_5204 This statement is ignored. ESC/P_LINE_FEED? If YES, the line feed (LF) function is emulated when the line feed © Copyright IBM Corp. 1989, 2004 181 command is received. This is useful when you do not want a line feed accompanied by a carriage return (CR) on a printer using the ESC/P printer language. If NO, the value defined in the LINE_FEED statement is sent to the printer. IGNORE_FORM_FEED_AT_FIRST_POS? If YES, the form feed (FF) function is ignored at the first position (for LU 2, LU 3, and non-SNA sessions) or at the beginning of the print job (for LU 1 sessions). Using this option eliminates extra blank pages at the beginning of each print job. FORM_FEED_TAKES_POSITION? If YES, the form feed (FF) function is effective if followed by data (LU 2, LU 3, and non-SNA sessions only). KANJI_CODE? If YES, kanji codes (JIS or SHIFT_JIS) have been used. This value cannot be changed. ZENKAKU_SPACE The size (adjustment unit) of a user-defined character and a HANKAKU character. This value cannot be changed. SBCS_FONT_LOAD Registration of a HANKAKU GAIJI. This value cannot be changed. DBCS_FONT_LOAD Registration of a ZENKAKU GAIJI. This value cannot be changed. SET_LOCAL_FONT Set a font set of user-defined characters. Remove it when user-defined characters are not loaded to a printer. RESET_LOCAL_FONT Reset a font set of user-defined characters. Remove it when user-defined characters are not loaded to a printer. KANJI_ON Set kanji mode. KANJI_OFF Reset kanji mode. ATTRIBUTE_GRID_LINE Set to grid-line print. This value cannot be changed. START_DOUBLE_WIDTH_CHARACTER Set a double-width character. END_DOUBLE_WIDTH_CHARACTER Reset a double-width character. Notes: 1. When using IBM5577.PDF, change FORM_FEED=EJC to FORM_FEED in the file when a continuous form job does not feed correctly. 2. When using ESC_P.PDF, DBCS (2-byte) characters are placed to the left of the character box, not in the center. To place DBCS characters in the center of the character box, change the IBM-supplied values in ESC_P.PDF: P10 P12 P13 P15 EQU EQU EQU EQU 1B 1B 1B 1B 50 4D 67 67 1B 1B 1B 1B to the following: 182 Administrator’s Guide and Reference 20 20 20 20 00 00 01 00 1C 1C 1C 1C 53 53 53 53 00 00 00 00 0C 06 03 00 1C 1C 1C 1C 54 54 54 54 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 00 P10 P12 P13 P15 EQU EQU EQU EQU 1B 1B 1B 1B 50 4D 67 67 1B 1B 1B 1B 20 20 20 20 00 00 01 00 1C 1C 1C 1C 53 53 53 53 06 03 02 00 06 03 01 00 1C 1C 1C 1C 54 54 54 54 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 00 SCS TAB Setting A PC/3270 printer session LU type 1 can accept any number of tab positions, and the host printer session can send any number of tabs to the printer session. However, the workstation printer you are using might support fewer tab positions than the host application sets; for example, the IBM Proprinter supports 27 tab positions. If the number of tab positions that the host application sets exceeds the maximum number of positions that the printer supports, your printed output will not look as you expect it to. You can avoid this situation by modifying the PDF file and reconfiguring PC/3270 as follows: 1. Modify the SET_HORIZONTAL_TABS statement as follows: SET_HORIZONTAL_TABS=number 2. Save the file under a new name. 3. Convert the PDF file (with the procedure described in Chapter 20, “Building a Printer Definition Table (PDT) for PC400,” on page 191). 4. Select the new PDT file created in Step 2. Printer Color Mixing Some printers, such as the IBM 5182, compose certain colors by mixing colors. Colors are mixed by printing the text in one color and then printing over the same text in another color on a second pass. PC/3270 will compose a color if the color is not defined in the printer definition table of a color printer that is capable of mixing colors. Therefore, if you are using a printer that composes some colors by mixing two colors, leave the definition of the composed colors blank in the printer definition file. Only the composite colors defined in Table 16 are created by double-printing the primary colors. Table 16. Color Mixes Composite Color Primary Colors Red yellow, magenta Green yellow, cyan Blue magenta, cyan For example, to create red, you must define yellow and magenta. The primary colors must be defined in the printer definition table. Printer Session Data Stream Support There are two types of host-directed print data streams supported by PC/3270: the 3270 data stream and the SNA character string (SCS) data stream. 3270 Data Stream The 3270 data stream is a buffer-oriented data stream. The print data is formatted as if it were going to be displayed on a screen. The host system sends commands Chapter 19. Building a Printer Definition Table (PDT) for PC/3270 183 to format the presentation space. These commands can change the presentation space in any location at any time. Once the host system completes formatting the presentation space, it issues a START PRINT command and the presentation space is printed as accurately as the printer hardware allows. The 3270 data stream can be sent to PC/3270 workstations over an SNA LU 3 session or a non-SNA DFT printer session. Table 17 lists the commands that can be sent in the 3270 data stream. Table 17. 3270 Data Stream Commands Command Meaning W Write EW Erase/Write EWA Erase/Write Alternate RB Read Buffer RM Read Modified RMA Read Modified All EAU Erase All Unprotected WSF Write Structured Field The RB, RM, and RMA commands cannot be used with an SNA attachment. Table 18 lists the orders that can be sent in the 3270 data stream. Table 18. 3270 Data Stream Orders Order Meaning SBA Start Buffer Address SF Start Field IC Insert Cursor PT Program Tab RA Repeat to Address EUA Erase Unprotected to Address SFE Start Field Extended SA Set Attribute MF Modify Field The last three orders in the preceding table manage the color, extended highlighting, and programmed symbols attributes for fields and individual characters. The programmed symbols attribute is not supported by PC/3270. In addition to the commands and orders in the two preceding tables, there are special printer formatting control codes that can be included in the 3270 data stream. 184 Administrator’s Guide and Reference The following table lists the control codes that can be sent in the 3270 data stream. Table 19. 3270 Data Stream Format Control Codes Code Description NL New Line control code moves the print position to the left margin and down one line. CR Carriage Return control code moves the print position to the left margin. EM End of Message control code ends the print operation. FF Form Feed control code moves the print position to the left margin at the top of the next page. Note: NL, CR, and EM are valid only if a line-length format specified by the WCC is not used. The FF code is valid in any buffer position. PC/3270 printer support interprets each 3270 attribute and printer control code and translates them into a sequence of one or more workstation printer control codes. For more information about the 3270 data stream, refer to IBM 3270 Information Display Data Stream Programmer’s Reference. SCS Data Stream The SCS data stream is a sequential data stream that is oriented toward line printers. The characters are translated according to the host system code page and printed according to the attributes and formatting specified by the control commands. The way in which SCS characters are printed depends only on the control codes that precede them. Therefore, it is not necessary to buffer the characters before they are printed. The SCS data stream flows across the SNA LU 1 session only. The valid SCS control codes supported by PC/3270 are listed in Table 20. Table 20.

For more information about the SCS printer data stream, refer to IBM Systems Network Architecture - Sessions Between Logical Units. Delimiting Print Jobs Many print jobs can be sent over a single PC/3270 printer session. PC/3270 allows multiple sessions and applications to share a single workstation printer on a between-jobs basis. PC/3270 needs to know when each print job starts and ends so that printers can be shared properly and begin and end job strings can be sent at the appropriate times. The emulator recognizes a number of different methods of delimiting print jobs: By Session PC/3270 printer support assumes, by default, that all print jobs are 186 Administrator’s Guide and Reference delimited by sessions. That is, in the absence of all other indicators, PC/3270 assumes that a print job begins when a printer session is started and ends when it is reset. Time-Out Interval On non-SNA DFT sessions, print jobs can be delimited by a user-specified timeout interval. A print job on a non-SNA DFT printer session begins when the first host-outbound data for that job is received, and ends when no host-outbound data is received for a period of time exceeding the user-specified non-SNA DFT timeout interval. For PC/3270, this interval is specified during configuration. By Brackets On an SNA session with an LU 1 or LU 3 host application, PC/3270 can use bracket indicators to delimit print jobs. The emulator opens the printer when it receives the begin bracket, then it processes and prints data. The emulator closes the printer after it receives an end bracket. When the emulator receives another begin bracket, it again opens a printer and begins processing a print job. Structured Fields The host can use structured fields to indicate to the device that a new file is beginning or that the current file is completed. PC/3270 delimits print jobs with Begin of File and End of File structured fields (SF) to perform host-directed printing. Structured fields are described in “Structured Fields.” Structured Fields The host uses Begin of File and End of File structured fields to indicate to a device that a file is beginning or ending. Begin/End of File Query Reply The Begin/End of File query reply indicates that a device supports Begin of File and End of File to delineate print jobs. The PC/3270 sends a query reply, as shown in Table 21, to the host in response to a Read Partition General query. Table 21. Begin/End of File Query Reply Format Byte Contents Description X'0005' The length of this structure 2 X'81' Query reply 3 QCODE X'9F' Begin/End of File 4 FLAGS Reserved; must be set to 0’s 0–1 Begin/End of File Structured Fields Begin/End of File structured fields are accepted on either LU 1 or LU 3 sessions.

See the following examples: v Begin or End of File structured fields overriding brackets: Begin Bracket, Begin of File Structured Field, ...Data..., End Bracket The device will wait indefinitely until the End of File structured field is received before ending the print job. v Begin or End of File structured fields overriding non-SNA timeout intervals: Begin of File structured fields, ...Data..., pause > timeout value The device will wait indefinitely until the End of File structured fields is received before ending the print job. v Inconsistent use of Begin or End of File structured fields and brackets: Begin Bracket, ...Data1..., Begin of File Structured Fields,...Data2.., End of File Structured Fields, ...Data3..., End Bracket When you use the Begin of File and End of File structured fields inconsistently with brackets, the results are unpredictable. In the preceding example, the device might process Data1, Data2, and Data3 as separate jobs or combine two or more of them into one file. For predictable results, each data block must be enclosed by a Begin of File structured field and an End of File structured field. The following example shows three print jobs all delimited by Begin or End of File structured fields: Begin Bracket, Begin of File Structured Field, ...Data1..., End of File Structured Field,(job1) Begin of File Structured Field, ...Data2..., End of File Structured Field, (job2) Begin of File Structured Field, ...Data3..., End of File Structured Field, End Bracket(job3) PC/3270 always keeps track of brackets and timeout intervals. After the emulator receives a Begin of File structured field, it takes no action on Begin Brackets, End Brackets, or timeout until it receives an End of File structured field. After a valid End of File SF is processed, the emulator defaults to delimiting jobs by brackets or timeout intervals until it receives the next Begin of File structured field. 188 Administrator’s Guide and Reference Begin or End of File Structured Field Error Conditions PC/3270 does not accept transmission of data belonging to two separate print jobs in the same chain. To be accepted by the emulator, Begin of File structured fields must be the first structured field of a chain and End of File structured fields must be the last structured field of a chain. PC/3270 rejects transmission in the following instances: v The emulator receives an End of File structured field without first receiving a Begin of File structured field. v The emulator receives a second Begin of File structured field without receiving an intervening End of File structured field. v The emulator receives a Begin of File structured field that is not the first structured field following a write structured field command (LU 2, LU 3, and non-SNA sessions) or a Function Management Header 1 (LU 1 sessions). v The emulator receives an End of File structured field that is not the last structured field following a write structured field command (LU 2, LU 3, and non-SNA sessions) or a Function Management Header 1 (LU 1 sessions). Processing SCS Data Streams When processing an SCS data stream, PC/3270 treats Begin or End of File structured fields as follows: v A Begin of File structured field indicates that all SCS data in the same transmission until an End of File structured field is received is part of a new print job. v An End of File structured field indicates that any SCS data received in the same chain as the End of File structured field is the last data of the current print job. Processing 3270 Data Streams When processing a 3270 data stream, PC/3270 treats Begin or End of File structured fields as follows: v A Begin of File structured field indicates that the next presentation space print (initiated by a write type command with the start print bit turned on in the write control character) is the first in a print job. v An End of File structured field indicates that the last presentation space print was the last of the current print job. The emulator immediately sends a terminate string to the printer to close the printer session. If PC/3270 receives a Begin of File structured field and an End of File structured field without at least one presentation space separating them, it ignores the structured fields. Chapter 19. Building a Printer Definition Table (PDT) for PC/3270 189 190 Administrator’s Guide and Reference Chapter 20. Building a Printer Definition Table (PDT) for PC400 This chapter explains how to create and change the printer definition table (PDT file) used for PC400. Chapter 19, “Building a Printer Definition Table (PDT) for PC/3270,” on page 181 contains specific information about creating PC/3270 PDTs. PDTs for PC/3270 and PC400 differ only slightly; if you use a common PDT (used for both PC/3270 and PC400), the additional statements for PC400 are ignored for PC/3270 processing. Similarly, statements unique to PC/3270 are ignored for PC400 processing. The PDT file is created by converting the printer definition file (PDF file). The PDF and PDT define the transmission of characters and control codes to the printer and the format of printer output. To change an existing PDF (the recommended method) or create a new one, use a text editor that can produce or update an ASCII file. Using the Printer Definition Table (PDT) File To use the PDT file: 1. Select File from the menu bar of the workstation window. 2. Select Printer Setup from the File menu. The Printer Setup window appears. 3. Select the Use PDT file check box and Select PDT. The Select PDT file window appears. To build the PDT file (required only if the PDF has been changed or created): 1. Select Convert PDF. Select the PDF file to be converted from the list in the Convert PDF to PDT window; then select Convert. The PDF File Converter window appears. After the file has been converted, click on Close, then click Close in the Convert PDF to PDT window. 2. Click OK in the Select PDT file window. 3. Click OK on the Printer Setup window. After printer setup is complete, the Printer Setup window is closed. Printer Definition File (PDF File) Format A PDF contains 3 main sections: v Macro definitions v Formatting controls v Character definitions using EBCDIC_xx keywords Macro Definitions This section of a PDF contains user-defined macros. A macro is a single mnemonic that stands for a control code or a sequence of control codes. A mnemonic simplifies defining control sequences for PC printers and makes it easier to read the information in the PDF. © Copyright IBM Corp. 1989, 2004 191 The following table shows the structure of a macro definition statement. A macro definition is composed of four parts: 1 2 3 4 name EQU PC Printer Control Codes Comments For example: FFF EQU 0C /* Form Feed */ The first part is the user-defined mnemonic or macro name. This name must be exactly three characters long and must not begin with a number. It is helpful to define a meaningful mnemonic, such as P17 for 17.1 pitch. The second part, EQU, stands for equate and must be coded as EQU. The third part is the hexadecimal control code, which is specific to a PC printer. Each PC printer manufacturer can define different control codes for the same printer function. For example, the IBM 4019 LaserPrinter uses control codes defined by the IBM Personal Printer Data Stream (PPDS). Hewlett-Packard printers use control codes defined by the Hewlett-Packard Printer Control Language (PCL). These control codes are usually defined in the manual that comes with the printer. Some PC printer manuals describe control sequences as a string of ASCII symbols, such as ESC J 1 K: others use hexadecimal numbers, such as 1B 57 01; while others use decimal values, such as 27 28 1. The printer definition table compiler accepts any of these formats. The control codes in the macro definitions section can be any of the following: v Single characters that are interpreted as their ASCII value v Two-digit numbers that are interpreted as hexadecimal values v Three-digit numbers that are interpreted as decimal values If you leave the control code section blank or if you delete it, the character or control code is interpreted as a null string. If a character or control code is defined more than once in the file, the last definition is used. The fourth part is the comment section. The symbols /* indicate the beginning of a comment and the symbols */ indicate the end of a comment. Comments can be coded at any point in the printer definition file and are ignored by the printer definition table compiler. The following is an example macro definition statements that are specific to the IBM 4019 LaserPrinter. LFF VTB FFF CRR P05 P10 CDW P17 LL8 P12 RES 192 EQU EQU EQU EQU EQU EQU EQU EQU EQU EQU EQU 0A 0B 0C 0D 1B 12 1B 12 1B 1B 1B 57 01 57 00 0F 41 09 3A 5B 4B Administrator’s Guide and Reference /* Line Feed */ /* Vertical Tab */ /* Form Feed */ /* Carriage Return */ /* 5 Pitch-Characters/inch */ /* 10 Pitch-Characters/inch */ /* Cancel Double Wide contin. */ /* 17.1 Pitch-Character/inch */ 1B 32 /* Set line length 8 lines/inch*/ /* 12 Pitch-characters/inch */ 07 00 05 31 01 A4 00 00 90 /* The above macro resets the */ /* printer using the factory */ /* defaults. See the IBM Laser*/ /* Printer Technical Reference */ /* manual. */ To illustrate how macros are coded, consider this example. To have the host print job printed in double-wide characters, you must know what control code turns on double-wide printing on your PC printer. On the IBM 4019 LaserPrinter, the control code to turn on double-wide printing is X’1B5701’. This would be coded as: BDW EQU 1B 57 01 where BDW stands for Begin Double Wide. This alone would not cause 3270 host print to send this control to the printer. The mnemonic would have to be included in a control code statement, such as START_JOB which is described in the control codes section of the file. Note: The IBM 4019 LaserPrinter printer definition file that comes with IBM Personal Communications already has this control code defined as the P05 macro. See line 9 of the sample IBM 4019 LaserPrinter Macro Definition Statements (“IBM4019.PDF File Contents” on page 198). Macro Name Examples The following are example mnemonics or macros. The control codes are for the IBM 4019 LaserPrinter: LND POR P12 T10 LTR G66 EQU EQU EQU EQU EQU EQU 1B 1B 1B 1B 1B 1B 26 26 28 28 26 26 6C 6C 73 73 6C 6C 31 30 31 31 32 36 4F 4F 32 2E 30 30 48 30 2E 30 56 41 36 50 /* /* /* /* /* /* LANDSCAPE PORTRAIT PITCH_12.00 POINT_10.0 LETT_PAPER PG_LENGTH_66 */ */ */ */ */ */ Formatting Controls The controls section of a PDF contains the following: v Session parameters v Control codes v Color specifications v Highlight specifications Session parameters MAXIMUM_PAGE_LENGTH, MAXIMUM_PRINT_POSITION, and SET_PAGE_LENGTH The parameter to the left of the equal sign is a keyword and must be coded exactly as shown. The keyword is used to define a statement. The values to the right of the equal sign are macros or control codes. Because the values to the right of the equal sign can be both macros and control codes, they will sometimes be referred to as parameters. The MAXIMUM_PAGE_LENGTH, MAXIMUM_PRINT_POSITION, and SET_PAGE_LENGTH parameters specify the dimensions of the output job. The number specified in the MAXIMUM_PAGE_LENGTH parameter is used in the SET_PAGE_LENGTH parameter and is substituted for the value keyword. In other words, if SET_PAGE_LENGTH and MAXIMUM_PAGE_LENGTH are coded as follows: MAXIMUM_PAGE_LENGTH=066 /* Printed lines per page */ SET_PAGE_LENGTH=SFL 066 Chapter 20. Building a Printer Definition Table (PDT) for PC400 193 The results would be: SET_PAGE_LENGTH=SFL 066 Because SFL is coded as X’1B 43’ in the macro section, the actual control code that would be sent to the printer to set the maximum page length is: X'1B 43 42' where X'42' is decimal 66. Note: Setting MPL=255 causes suppression of form feeds (FFs). Control Codes The control codes section of a PDF is used by the PDT function to determine what specific PC printer control code is to be sent to the PC printer when an SCS control code is received. Some of the statements used by Communications Manager are shown in the following example. START_JOB=SEL CDW CDL CUL CDS CP8 CS2 END_JOB=CAT CDW CDL CUL CDS CP4 FFF SET_PAGE_LENGTH=SFL value SET_VARIABLE_LINE_DENSITY=ESC A value ESC 2 SET_10_CHARACTERS_PER_INCH=P10 Note: The above example lines come from the IBM 4019 LaserPrinter PDF. START_JOB and END_JOB The control codes associated with START_JOB are sent at the start of each host print job. It is best to set all printer options to a known or desired state at the beginning of each host print job. The PC printer changes its state or changes the options selected only when instructed to do so by control codes. Therefore, the previous PC application could have left the printer in portrait mode with a Courier font selected, and unless your job changed them, these would be the printer options used. Even though the START_JOB and END_JOB control codes are the ones shipped with the IBM4019.PDF, many users change them to be more like the ones below: START_JOB=RES P12 LL8 END_JOB=RES In this example, the RES, P12 and LL8 macros are used on the START_JOB statement (these macros are defined in “IBM4019.PDF File Contents” on page 198). This translates into the following control codes being sent to the printer at the beginning of your print job: X'1B 5B 4B 07 00 05 31 01 A4 00 00 90 1B 3A 1B 41 09 1B 32' This sequence of control codes: v Resets the printer to the IBM PPDS factory default settings (RES) v Begins printing in 12 pitch (P12) v Begins printing at 8 lines per inch (LL8) The END-JOB statement sends the following control code to the printer at the end of your job: 194 Administrator’s Guide and Reference X'1B 5B 4B 07 00 05 31 01 A4 00 00 90' This control code resets the printer to IBM PPDS factory default settings (RES). SET_VARIABLE_LINE_DENSITY The SET_VARIABLE_LINE_DENSITY statement is used in combination with the panel where you can select the number of lines per inch (LPI), which can be either 6 or 8. The PDT process uses whatever is selected in the lines per inch field, and substitutes this number for the value keyword in the SET_VARIABLE_LINE_DENSITY parameter. In other words, if lines per inch is set to 8, the SET_VARIABLE_LINE_DENSITY parameter is SET_VARIABLE_LINE_DENSITY=ESC A 09 ESC 2 where the 09 comes from 72/8. The number of typographic points in 1 inch is 42; thus a value of 12 points would indicate six lines to an inch. The control code that is sent to the printer to set the line density is: X’1B 41 09 1B 32’ SET_10_CHARACTERS_PER_INCH On most printers, the default pitch is 10 characters per inch. In most PDTs, Personal Communications uses this same convention and sends the control code found on the SET_10_CHARACTERS_PER_INCH statement. This is usually coded in the PDF as: SET_10_CHARACTERS_PER_INCH=P10 where P10 is coded in the macro definition section as: P10 EQU 12 Printing More than One Screen on a Page If you want to print two or more screens per page, use the BEL command in the PDF to specify the number of blank lines to insert (instead of a Form Feed between two successive screens). You must coordinate this modification with the usage of the LPI and MPL parameters in the PDF (see “Field Names of Printer Definition Files” on page 208). Note: This specific use of the BEL command is applicable only for printing screens using the Print Screen Collection function. Setting the value BEL=FF will send a Form Feed, while the value BEL=00 does not insert a Form Feed or a Line Feed. Values between 00 and FF send that number of blank lines between successive screens. For example, BEL=02 inserts two blank lines between two successive screens. Thus, more than one screen can be printed on a single page. Chapter 20. Building a Printer Definition Table (PDT) for PC400 195 Transparent Print Capability ASCII_PASSTHRU? Keyword Support If you add the following line to your PDF, Personal Communications will send host data without any translation: ASCII_PASSTHRU? = YES This option is for special host applications that generate PC printer control codes directly. Even if ASCII_PASSTHRU? is set, control codes defined START_JOB and END_JOB are sent to the printer at the start and the end of a print job respectively. To remove those commands, you need to rebuild the PDT file after removing the PDF keyword definitions for START_JOB and END_JOB. If ASCII_PASSTHRU? is set, all character definition lines, for example, EBCDIC_xx, are ignored. If both ASCII_PASSTHRU? and EBCDIC_PASSTHRU? are set, ASCII_PASSTHRU? has priority. EBCDIC_PASSTHRU? Keyword Support If you add the following line to your PDF, Personal Communications will ignore all SCS commands and send data to the printer after EBCDIC-to-ASCII translation: EBCDIC_PASSTHRU? = YES For example, the default EBCDIC-ASCII translation table used for U.S. English host code page 037 is as follows: Hex | 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F -----+---------------------------------------0 | 2020 2020 2020 2020 2020 2020 2020 2020 10 | 2020 2020 2020 2020 2020 2020 2020 2020 20 | 2020 2020 2020 2020 2020 2020 2020 2020 30 | 2020 2020 2020 2020 2020 2020 2020 2020 40 | 20FF 8384 85A0 C686 87A4 BD2E 3C28 2B7C 50 | 2682 8889 8AA1 8C8B 8DE1 2124 2A29 3BAA 60 | 2D2F B68E B7B5 C78F 80A5 DD2C 255F 3E3F 70 | 9B90 D2D3 D4D6 D7D8 DE60 3A23 4027 3D22 80 | 9D61 6263 6465 6667 6869 AEAF D0EC E7F1 90 | F86A 6B6C 6D6E 6F70 7172 A6A7 91F7 92CF A0 | E67E 7374 7576 7778 797A ADA8 D1ED E8A9 B0 | 5E9C BEFA B8F5 F4AC ABF3 5B5D EEF9 EF9E C0 | 7B41 4243 4445 4647 4849 F093 9495 A2E4 D0 | 7D4A 4B4C 4D4E 4F50 5152 FB96 8197 A398 E0 | 5CF6 5354 5556 5758 595A FDE2 99E3 E0E5 F0 | 3031 3233 3435 3637 3839 FCEA 9AEB E9FF You can modify this code page using EBCDIC_xx keywords. Note that the EBCDIC_PASSTHRU? line precedes any EBCDIC_xx lines in your PDF file because Personal Communications reinitializes the EBCDIC-to-ASCII translation table when it finds that EBCDIC_PASSTHRU? is set. Even if EBCDIC_PASSTHRU? is set, control codes defined START_JOB and END_JOB are sent to the printer at the start and the end of a print job respectively. To remove those commands, you need to rebuild the PDT file after removing PDF keyword definitions for START_JOB and END_JOB. 196 Administrator’s Guide and Reference EBCDIC_xx Keyword Support EBCDIC_xx keywords are used to remap entries of EBCDIC-to-ASCII translation table for printer sessions that receive SNA character string (SCS) data streams. For example, if you want to print host space characters using ASCII X’1B’, add the following line to your PDF file and recompile to update the PDT file: EBCDIC_40 = 1B You can specify two or more characters for one EBCDIC character. The following definition: EBCDIC_F1 = 1 2 3 translates EBCDIC X’F1’ into ″123″ in ASCII. You can also remap EBCDIC code points (X’00’-X’3F’) which are normally assigned to SCS control characters. The following line: EBCDIC_15 = 0C overrides the SCS new line function with X’0C’, which normally works as a form feed function. If you remap a code point that is not used for a SCS command (for example, X’27’) Personal Communications sends the defined code to the printer and does not send SNA sense data to the host. The following example EBCDIC_27 = 1B defines EBCDIC code point X’27’ as ASCII X’1B’, which is used as an escape character on most personal computer printers. If you do not need to use any SCS command processing but still need EBCDIC-to-ASCII translation, the EBCDIC_PASSTHRU? is a better solution. If you do not need any SCS command processing or EBCDIC-to-ASCII translation, ASCII_PASSTHRU? is an easier solution. Printer Definition Tables Standard printer definition table file names are of the form IBMnnnnn.PDT, and PDT’s ASCII-to-ASCII character definitions are of the form PRNnnnnn.PDT, where nnnnn is a machine type. See character definition descriptions for more details. See the help panel or the specific 5250, 3270, or VT emulator user’s reference for a list of the PDT files provided by Personal Communications. The PDT files contained in the PC400 installation diskette can be used as is. However, you might want to do special formatting by changing the definitions of some fields. To do so, copy an existing PDF file, modify it, and then convert it to a new PDT file. Example PDF files are shown in ″Example Printer Definition Files″. Do not attempt to change the statements in a field for which modification is specifically prohibited. If you use a PDT file created from a changed PDF file, the results of printing cannot be guaranteed. Example Printer Definition Files The following examples are annotated versions of printer definition files for the IBM LaserPrinter 4019 (for SBCS sessions) and for the IBM 5577 Printer (for DBCS sessions).

MIDDLE_DOT_ACCENT . Using Printer Control Codes This section explains the SNA Character String (SCS) control codes, or Final Form Text: Document Content Architecture (FFT DCA). For details of eServer i5 or iSeries printer control codes, refer to AS/400 Guide to Programming for Printing. Printer Control Code Format Some printer control codes perform single, specific functions by themselves, while others perform multiple functions according to the parameters specified after the control code. A printer control code with parameters has the following format: Control Code Count Parameter 1 Parameter 2... 1 or 2 bytes 1 byte 1 or 2 bytes 1 or 2 bytes A count consists of 1 byte, and indicates the length of the parameters (including the count) after the control code, in bytes. For example, a count and two 1-byte parameters is shown as X'03', because the count itself is included. Some control codes, such as the Printing Position (PP) control code, do not have counts. Chapter 20. Building a Printer Definition Table (PDT) for PC400 219 A parameter can be 1 or 2 bytes in length. The number of bytes depends on the control codes. Not all control codes have parameters. Note: In this manual, counts and parameters that are actually processed in binary are all expressed in hexadecimal (0–F) to improve readability. Parameter Definition of Printer Control Codes Some printer control codes require that parameters be specified. Pay particular attention when defining a parameter because how this is done depends on the parameter type. If the definition method for another type is used, the desired output will not be obtained. The following table lists printer control code parameter types and their meanings: Table 26. Printer Control Code Parameter Types Parameter Type Meaning byte-value One-byte parameter. byte-values Multibyte parameter. Used if operands are fixed. word-value(HL) One-word parameter (higher and lower bytes). word-value(LH) One-word parameter (lower and higher bytes). length(HL)-values Multibyte parameter requiring operands. An operand consists of a higher and lower byte. Used if operands are variable. length(LH)-values Multibyte parameter requiring operands. An operand consists of a lower and higher byte. Used if operands are variable. length(HL)-images Image data requiring operands. An operand consists of a higher and lower byte. length(LH)-images Image data requiring operands.

If the transmission of a control code is interrupted, the printer waits for the remaining part of the code. If the data stream (the series of data units and control codes) sent after the interruption is consistent with the data stream sent before the interruption, (that is, if one complete printer control code is restored by chaining), the control code is processed as is. If the two parts of the data stream are inconsistent, an error occurs. A negative response to an “Invalid Printer Parameter” is sent to the host system, or treated as a no-op (no operation; ignored because of a meaningless code). Detailed information is not sent to the host system if an error occurs in a control code. After programming, the data stream must be checked thoroughly by repeating the printing test. Restrictions and Notes for eServer i5 or iSeries Commands and Printer Setup This section provides supplementary notes and explains restrictions for printing. Chapter 20. Building a Printer Definition Table (PDT) for PC400 223 Printer Control Codes Table 28. Printer Control Codes If a Windows Printer Driver is Used: Printer Control Code If Use PDT file is Selected: SCD — Set the Character Density Select the GFID for the valid character distance (CD) parameter as shown in Table 29. If the specified font is not See “How to Determine supported, a substitution is PC400 Font” on page 225. provided. For example, when 15 CPI font is specified but the font is not supported, the supported 17 CPI font is substituted. SFG — Set Font ID through GFID Recognizable GFIDs are restricted. (See “Field Names of Printer Definition Files” on page 208.) If the specified GFID is not supported and it is out of the range from 154 through 200, the closest font width from the fonts shown in Table 30 on page 225 is substituted. If the specified GFID is not supported and it is between 154 and 200, the following font is substituted: Font name: Document; GFID value:175. See “How to Determine PC400 Font” on page 225. BUS — Begin Underscore The selected font might not support the underscore. BES — Begin Emphasis The selected font might not support the emphasis. STO — Set Text Orientation The page orientation can be changed to portrait or landscape. The direction, which is up, down, left, or right on the paper, depends on the Microsoft Windows printer driver. If the page orientation is changed, the current paper is ejected.

How to Determine PC400 Font When a print job is created on eServer i5 or iSeries, a certain font, identified by font ID (GFID), is associated with it. Such a font can be specified by the following parameters: v Font family v Pitch and family v Character set v Width v Height v Weight v Style System fonts are available with all print drivers, and more flexible device fonts are unique to each printer and printer driver. These fonts are also more fixed as to CPI, weight, code pages, and other criteria that can preclude use of it when matching to the host specified needs.

Default GFID from host is 011, we use Courier 10 CPI. 2. A print driver will change the font to its default if you ask for a font name that it does not recognize. Some drivers recognize Gothic, but the DeskJet drivers do not. 3. Most print drivers default to Courier New, instead of Courier. So Courier switched to Courier New works, but Gothic switched to Courier New changes the font family. Preferably, you should explicitly select Courier New. 4. Special fonts like CourHEB and GRCOUR869 (for Greek) has required them to be added to PCSPD.DAT to work. Note if the operating system properly or fully supports a language, that font could be the default font instead of Courier New. Chapter 20. Building a Printer Definition Table (PDT) for PC400 227 Avoiding iSeries System Dump If you are running OS/400 Version 3 Release 1, and you attempt to perform a Telnet 5250 mode host print operation, you may experience an iSeries system dump under certain conditions. To prevent this from occurring you should apply PTF SF35327 on OS/400. This table matches the eServer i5 or iSeries table of fonts. PC400 builds a PC spool file with the selected font in it. The printer driver picks up the spool file and the font and sends it to the printer where the expected font is used. Refer to Printer Device Programming for additional information on other useful tables. The following factors can produce unexpected results: v Not all fonts are available on a PC or printer device. If the font that was selected from the table and incorporated into the spool file cannot be found on a PC or on a printer, the printer driver determines how to present the data on a printer. For example, HP printer drivers have the following order of considerations: – HP Font Priority Considerations: 1. Symbol Set 2. Spacing 3. Pitch 4. Height 5. Style 6. Stroke Weight 7. Typeface Family 8. Resolution 9. Orientation – Location: printer ROM, SIMM module ROM, cartridge ROM, printer RAM Priority of locations: 1. Soft font (lowest ID first) 2. Cartridge Font 3. SIMM Font 4. Internal Font – 600 dpi has priority over 300 dpi To avoid this uncertainty, it is recommended that you update the table so that only the fonts that are available in the given environment are used. v NLS The eServer i5 or iSeries font has NLS characters in it, which are not part of a corresponding PC font. The IBM-supplied table does not support character sets other than ANSI, although it provides a field for them. In this case, PC400 builds a PC spool file with a font that doesn’t recognize NLS. To fix the problem, it is recommended that you either change the font names in the table to the NLS enabled on a PC/printer, or if the font has the same name as the one in the table, update a Character Set value. v After you decide to scale a printout which may be a result of CORig or BesFitting, you usually decrease the distance horizontally as well as vertically between characters. This can result in overlapping. PC400 attempts to adjust the given character size to a new one. A problem may occur when a font defined in the table is not a scalable font. Like GFID011, the most heavily used eServer i5 or iSeries font is mapped to Courier. Courier is a non-scalable font which has 228 Administrator’s Guide and Reference only a limited number of character box sizes. To avoid possible problems it is recommended that you use Courier New instead, which is a scalable TTF font. PFT Migration Utility The PFT migration utility converts the printer function table (PFT) for the PC Support/400 workstation feature to a printer definition file (PDF) for PC400. This section describes the operator interface of the PFT migration utility. For details about PFT, refer to AS/400 PC Support: DOS and OS/2 Technical Reference. Using the PFT Migration Utility The file name of the PFT Migration Utility program is PCSPFC.EXE. It is a Windows application, and you can execute it by doing the following: 1. Double-click the program name using the Windows Explorer utility. 2. Specify the program name (and parameters) in the Windows Run utility as follows: PCSPFC [ [drive:] [path] PFT-file-name[.extension] ] If no parameter is specified, PCSPFC.EXE displays the Convert PFT to PDF dialog box. If you omit a drive name and a directory name, PCSPFC.EXE uses the current drive and the current directory. If you omit an extension, PCSPFC.EXE adds .PFT to the PFT file name. 3. When you execute the PFT Migration Utility, the Convert PFT to PDF dialog box appears. On the Convert PFT to PDF dialog box, select a PFT file from the list box or type a specific PFT file name, and click OK. The PFT Migration Utility starts the conversion and displays the PFT File Converter dialog box to show the conversion status. After the conversion, if you click Save List on the PFT File Converter dialog box, conversion messages in the dialog box are saved into a list file. The list file is created in the same directory and with the same name as the PFT file, except the extension. The extension of the list file is .LS2. If the conversion was completed successfully, you can click Convert PDF to PDT from the PFT File Converter dialog box to convert the PDF file to a PDT file. You can also create a PDT file by selecting Printer Setup from the File pull-down menu as explained in “Using the Printer Definition Table (PDT) File” on page 191. Migration Considerations When the base PDF file already exists, the converted PDF fields are appended to the end of the base PDF file. The name of the base PDF file is decided as follows: Table 32. PDF File Name PFT File Name Base PDF File Name xxxxxxxx.PFT xxxxxxxx.PDF xxxxx.MNL MNLxxxxx.PDF zzzxxxxx.MNL* zzzxxxxx.PDF* : * “zzz” is not “IBM”. Chapter 20. Building a Printer Definition Table (PDT) for PC400 229 Even if the same fields are already defined in the PDF file, the appended fields are effective because the last definition is always effective in a PDF file. If the base PDF file does not exist in the directory, the PFT Migration Utilitycreates a new PDF file that has only the converted fields from the PFT file. In this case, you should append this file to an appropriate base file manually, because the fields converted from the PFT file do not cover all of the necessary PDF fields. Therefore, it is recommended that you prepare both the PFT file and its base PDF file in the same directory before the conversion. Details of Migration This section describes how the PFT Migration Utility migrates the printer function table (PFT) to the printer definition file (PDF). Migration from the Printer Function Table The following table shows the target fields of the PDF for the data in the PFT. Table 33.

Building a Printer Definition Table (PDT) for PC400 249 Note: When you migrate IBM3812.PFT and IBM3812.MNL, the following fields are added to IBM3812.PDF: v FORWARD_VERTICAL_STEP_FEED=1B 5B 43 03 00 E3 word-value(LH) v VERTICAL_PEL=240 Definition of PAPER HANDLING Migration The PFT Migration Utility migrates the data for PAPER HANDLING and LANDSCAPE PAPER HANDLING as follows: 1. The PFT Migration Utility checks whether the LANDSCAPE PAPER HANDLING controls are defined. 2. If the LANDSCAPE PAPER HANDLING controls are defined, the PFT Migration Utility assumes that the PAPER HANDLING control sequences include controls to set the page orientation to portrait. Each LANDSCAPE PAPER HANDLING control sequence has the controls to set the page orientation to landscape in addition to the tray select and feed controls. 3. If the LANDSCAPE PAPER HANDLING controls are not defined, the PAPER HANDLING controls do not have the controls to set the page orientation to portrait. If a personal printer supports normal portrait, landscape left, portrait upside down, and landscape right orientation, the page orientation controls are defined in the appropriate user-defined controls. If the LANDSCAPE PAPER HANDLING controls are not defined: When the PAPER HANDLING controls are not defined, the controls are migrated as follows: PFT Fields Bottom Tray Select & Feed Top Tray Select & Feed Envelope Tray Select & Feed Manual Select & Feed PDF Fields SELECT_DRAWER2= SELECT_DRAWER1= SELECT_ENVELOPE= SELECT_DRAWER3= If the LANDSCAPE PAPER HANDLING controls are defined: When the PAPER HANDLING controls are defined, these controls have the controls to set the page orientation to portrait. The LANDSCAPE PAPER HANDLING controls have the controls to set the page orientation to landscape. The PFT Migration Utility migrates the controls as follows: 250 Administrator’s Guide and Reference Length of the control in the corresponding field of LANDSCAPE PAPER HANDLING with PAPER HANDLING (Length1) ==0 (Length1) > 0 CASE 1 CASE 2 Length of the control in the corresponding field of PAPER HANDLING with LANDSCAPE PAPER HANDLING (Length2) ==0 Length1 != Length2 CASE 4 (Length2) > 0 CASE 3 Length1 == Length2 CASE 5 v CASE 1 Since both of the fields are not defined, no data is migrated. Example: No data is migrated to SELECT_DRAWER2= under the following conditions. For this example, SELECT_DRAWER2= is not written in the output file. – No data is defined in the bottom tray select and feed for PAPER HANDLING. – No data is defined in the bottom tray select and feed for LANDSCAPE PAPER HANDLING. v CASE 2 Since no data is defined in the field for PAPER HANDLING, the PFT Migration Utility cannot compare the data in the corresponding field with the data for LANDSCAPE PAPER HANDLING. The data for LANDSCAPE PAPER HANDLING is migrated to the drawer selection field of PDF regardless, including control of the landscape orientation. Example: The control of the top tray select and feed for LANDSCAPE PAPER HANDLING is migrated to SELECT_DRAWER1= under the following conditions. – No data is defined in the top tray select and feed for PAPER HANDLING. – The control is defined in the top tray select and feed for LANDSCAPE PAPER HANDLING. v CASE 3 Since no data is defined in the field for LANDSCAPE PAPER HANDLING, the PFT Migration Utility cannot compare the data in the corresponding field with Chapter 20. Building a Printer Definition Table (PDT) for PC400 251 the data for PAPER HANDLING. The data for PAPER HANDLING is migrated to the drawer selection field of PDF regardless, including the control of the portrait orientation. Example: The control of the manual select and feed for PAPER HANDLING is migrated to SELECT_DRAWER3= under the following conditions. – The control is defined in the manual select and feed for PAPER HANDLING. – No data is defined in the top tray select and feed for LANDSCAPE PAPER HANDLING. v CASE 4 Since the length is different, no data is migrated. Example: No data is migrated to SELECT_DRAWER2= under the following conditions. For this example, SELECT_DRAWER2= is not written in the output file. – The data is defined in the bottom tray select and feed for PAPER HANDLING and the length is 8. – The data is defined in the bottom tray select and feed for LANDSCAPE PAPER HANDLING and the length is 10. v CASE 5 The PFT Migration Utility compares the data for PAPER HANDLING with the data for LANDSCAPE PAPER HANDLING as follows: – If a different value is found in the data, search the control backward for the escape character X'1B'. – If the escape character is found in the middle of the control, divide the control into two parts. The PFT Migration Utility assumes that the first part is the control for the tray select and feed, and the second part is the control for the page orientation. The PFT Migration Utility migrates the first part of the PAPER HANDLING control into the tray select and feed, the second part of the PAPER HANDLING control into the SET_PORTRAIT_ORIENT=, and the second part of the LANDSCAPE PAPER HANDLING control into SET_LANDSCAPELEFT_ORIENT=. – If the escape character is found at the top of the control and 03 (= HP PCL) is defined in the user-defined control 988, the PFT Migration Utility assumes that the controls are combined. For this, the control begins with the escape character and the two shared characters. For this, the PFT Migration Utility assumes that the last character of the first part is a lowercase letter and converts it to an uppercase letter to indicate that it is a terminating character. 252 Administrator’s Guide and Reference The PFT Migration Utility divides the controls into the two parts as follows: < Control for the PAPER HANDLING > Migrated into SET_PORTRAIT_ORIENT= ESC shared character oo oo oo oo XX Different value Converted uppercase Migrated into the tray select and feed < Control for LANDSCAPE PAPER HANDLING > Migrated into SET_LANDSCAPELEFT_ORIENT= ESC shared character oo oo oo oo XX Different value – If the escape character is found, but the data stream is not HP PCL, the PFT Migration Utility displays the error message to indicate that the PFT Migration Utility cannot migrate the data. – If the escape character is not found, the PFT Migration Utility displays the error message to indicate that the PFT Migration Utility cannot migrate the data. – If a different value is not found, the same control is defined for PAPER HANDLING and LANDSCAPE PAPER HANDLING. The PFT Migration Utility migrates the data in the following order: 1. Top Tray Select and Feed 2. Bottom Tray Select and Feed 3. Manual Select and Feed 4. Envelope Tray Select and Feed The migration stops for the page orientation, SET_PORTRAIT_ORIENT= and SET_LANDSCAPELEFT_ORIENT=, when the controls for the page orientation are found. For example, the controls for the page orientation are found when the data is migrated for the Bottom Tray Select and Feed. The PFT Migration Utility does not care about the page orientation when migrating the data Manual Select and Feed, and Envelop Tray Select and Feed. Chapter 20.
