- Name/IP address
The host's TCP/IP address (IPv4 and IPv6 address formats are supported).
- Port
The TCP/IP port to which the host is listening.
- Device type
The device type of terminal that ApplinX emulates.
- Protocol
The protocol used to access the host.
Device Type Protocol Comment Mainframe: IBM-3278, IBM-3279 (only supported via SNA servers that convert SNA to TN3270) TN3270 TN3270E Natural-Unix (Software AG) Natural-APX, Natural-IO See Appendix C: Natural for Linux and Cloud Installation. BS2000 9750 The BS2000 protocol is deprecated and will not be supported in a future ApplinX version. UNISYS-TD830 (UNISYS T27 EBCDIC), UNISYS-TD830-ASCII (UNISYS T27 ASCII) TELNET TANDEM: TN6530-8 TN6530 Only block mode applications are supported in Web enablement. FUJITSU-6680-00, FUJITSU-6680-02 TN6680 AS/400: IBM-3179, IBM-3477-FC, IBM-5555 TN5250 TN5250E HITACHI TN560 Supported only by ApplinX Servers installed on Win 32 platforms. VT VT-100, VT 220-7, VT 220-8 VT is supported in a SOA enablement only. - Model
The number of characters per column and per row, in the host's window.
- Application
The name of the application on the BS2000, to which you want to connect (relevant only to BS2000). The name can be up to 8 characters long. $DIALOG is provided as the default name. The connection to the host will be established using an Open command, without any parameters.
Note:
The BS2000 protocol is deprecated and will not be supported in a future ApplinX version.- Application script
The name of the shell script file required to start the Natural application (relevant for Natural for Linux and Cloud).
- Parameter file
This file contains the configuration parameters relevant for Natural for Linux and Cloud. Enter the parameter file name as it appears in Natural, without the file extension. For example: SYSTRANS.SAG should be written as SYSTRANS.
- Advanced parameters
If you specify specify a parameter file for Natural-Linux and are using the Natural-IO protocol, you can specify additional parameters here. Example: You can specify file "apx-ntw" in the Parameter file text box and "MAXPREC=20" in the Advanced parameters text box.
Note:
The Natural-IO protocol has been supported since ApplinX version 10.7. It enables you to create an SSL connection to a Natural Linux host without the need of a third-party component. See Support of Natural-IO Protocol Under Reference Guide > Appendix C - Natural for Linux and Cloud Installation.- Connection timeout
The number of milliseconds the application will try to connect to the host, before it announces failure.
- Code page
The code page number of the required language for this application.
- Convert input to uppercase
Sends data to the host as uppercase (overrides default host configuration-backwards compatible).
- Use 8-bit data
Determines whether to use an 8-bit ASCII table. When not selected, the 7-bit ASCII table is used by default.
- Auto wrap
This option is available for VT hosts only. Selecting this option starts a new line when the current line of characters reaches the margin.
This is not available for AS/400 hosts.
- Enable Natural-Data-Transfer support
Enables uploading and downloading Natural data transfer files.
- Ignore leading form feed in downloaded report
When you are downloading a report, an empty page precedes the report. However, if this check box is selected, this empty page is not generated. This appliea to reports generated using the Natural WRITE command (available for Mainframe hosts only).
- Keep trailing blanks at the end of downloaded records
If this check box is selected, the trailing blanks are also written to disk. This option applies to reports generated using the Natural WRITE WORK command (available for Mainframe hosts only).
Available in SOA applications only.
Note:
This tab is not displayed in Mainframe host applications.
- Username
Insert a User ID to log into an AS/400 host.
- Password
A password to log into an AS/400 host.
- Library list
A list of libraries separated by spaces, in the AS/400 host called by programs that may reference them. If a program calls a library that is not recorded in the Library list, the program may not function properly.
- Create debug log
Check this check box to save a debug log when running ApplinX programs.
- File name
Specify the log file.
- Connect using SSH
Enables connecting using the SSH connection between the ApplinX server and the host.
- Use SSL connection to host
Enables using the SSL connection between the ApplinX server and the host.
- Add and Remove icons
The Add icon enables adding a valid X509 certificate. Use the remove button to remove certificates not used.
Note:
This can be used in any block mode host, however this has only been
tested on a 3270 Mainframe host.
