Automatic logons

You can enable your LUs to automatically log on to a particular application program. This is most useful when a designated terminal always accesses one application program. To enable automatic logons, you can either code the LOGAPPL operand on the LU definition statement, or you can use the VARY LOGON or VARY ACT,LOGON commands.

Automatic logon is useful for the following situations:

Unattended terminals (terminals with no operator to issue a logon)
Establishing a controlling application program to:
- Manage allocation of terminals
- Automatically reestablish sessions with terminals after failure and restart of a host or NCP
