IBM I Series servers running telnet using the 5250 emulation require some unique
configuration parameters. Thus we developed in partnership with IBM, a client
application for these specific needs.
Iseries.exe will let you get started right away. Its purpose is to setup your
configuration for your unique environment. We suggest first looking at the TrueGUI.exe
client so that you have the basic concepts down. The settings for iSeries.exe are storedin an XML file called settings.xml. Lets take a quick look at how it all flows.
Client startup
The Iseries System provides 3 startup options:
| • | Live Login- A Graphic interface to enter your user/password. |
| • | AutoStart TrueGui- Using the information stored in the client setting file. |
| • | Manual- This passthru session uses the Telnet client to handle the startup. |
Execute the Client
| • | Start > Alpha Microsystems\TrueGui\iSeries |
[shortcut: "C:\Program Files\Alpha Microsystems\TrueGui\iseries.exe"]
| • | If you have not yet entered the "Activation Unlock Code": |
| • | The "TrueGUI Activation Required" screen should appear. |
| • | Check "Continue without activation" or install the activation code emailed to you. |
| • | Then press [Enter] or click [Continue]. |
Entering the basic information
The following screen should appear with these various "tab" sections. Enter the information indicated.
The iSeries includes its source code in the projects folder. Before building the client application, you may need to copy your license files into the \Projects\iSeries\License folder. The setup is in the same manner as TrueGui.exe. The appendix includes field by field references.
