5250 Sessions through One Link

If you want all your 5250 sessions to connect through one link to an iSeries™, eServer™ i5, or System i5™, use the same PC Location Name and the same Link Parameters for all the sessions.

For example, you can configure two display sessions and one printer session connected to an iSeries™, eServer™ i5, or System i5™ using APPN.PC5250 as the Location Name.

  Session A   :  Session Type           :  Display
  (Display)      System Location Name   :  APPN.S7801234
                 PC Location Name       :  APPN.PC5250
                 Workstation ID         :  (not specified)
 
  Session B   :  Session Type           :  Display
  (Display)      System Location Name   :  APPN.S7801234
                 PC Location Name       :  APPN.PC5250
                 Workstation ID         :  (not specified)
 
  Session C   :  Session Type           :  Printer
  (Printer)      System Location Name   :  APPN.S7801234
                 PC Location Name       :  APPN.PC5250
                 Workstation ID         :  PCLOCALP1

In this example, the iSeries™ network attributes are:


`Local network ID : APPN Local location : S7801234`

Tip

Enter DSPNETA from a 5250 session to display iSeries™, eServer™ i5, or System i5™ network attributes.
