Chapter 5. Migrating from 1174 or 3174
5-14 707156-002
Notes:
1)
On the 1174, the Type field is used to determine whether passwords are required
or not. If the client type includes ‘PW’ then an 1174-wide password is required
from the user when connecting. This password is included as part of the
configuration file. If the client type includes ‘ID’ then a User ID and Password are
required. These are stored as part of the nickname file.
2) Passwords on the 1174 are not case sensitive unless the entry ‘SENSITIVE=YES’
is the first entry in the nickname file.
3) Defining a port on the 1174 without a resource assigned to it is interpreted as
requesting a menu of available 3270 Host Classes (pools). On the CNA-8000, this
is achieved by selecting ‘Present Menu’ from the dropdown
4) White space is not allowed in the 1174 nickname file (no blank lines or blanks
within a line). White space found in the nickname file is interpreted as ‘end of
file’.
5) An IP address configured for one of the client entries on the 1174 is interpreted as
allowing only a user from the specified IP address to have access to the listed
resource.
6) On the 1174, if you select ‘Subnet’ as the client type, the entered partial IP
address is interpreted as a subnet associated with the entry. The CNA-8000 makes
use of wildcard entries to allow you to define access from subnets.
7) Resources listed on the TN3270 Client Definition panels of the 1174 are scanned
top to bottom until a match is found. Duplicate entries (such as using the same
listening port) are allowed, but if a client is matched to the first entry, the
additional entries will not be checked or used. On the CNA-8000 redundant
entries of a specific port are not tolerated.
8) When nicknames on the 1174 are used, the nickname file will be checked top to
bottom and the first instance of a nickname will always be selected. Redundant
instances of the nickname will be ignored. On the CNA-8000, multiple instances
of a nickname are not saved.
