The sb_te command invokes the 3270 Terminal Emulator.
Synopsis
sb_te session_number
Description
The sb_te command is used to invoke the 3270 terminal emulator and interact as a terminal to a host. This is used to first prove that a host communications link has been established. It can also be helpful in verifying that there have not been any changes to the host application screens. Sometimes changes can occur on the host end that are not passed down to the voice system end. The session_number chosen must be released from the host interface process before invoking sb_te. This can be accomplished by stopping the custom data interface process (DIP) for non-Script Builder applications or by using the hdelete command for Script Builder applications.
Sessions are mapped to logical unit (LU) numbers, with sessions numbered from 0 to 127 mapped to LUs that are numbered from 2 to 128. For example, session number 0 corresponds to the first LU number specified in the Configure Host Link screen for Link 0, while session number 1 corresponds to the second LU number in the Host Configure Link screen. LUs are configured dynamically. However, it is possible that LU's on a single connection may be non-contiguous.
A range of session numbers (for example, 5-38) can be specified to sequentially emulate each session in turn. Press CTRL+Y to emulate the next session in the specified range. The CTRL+Y command may only be used for multiple sessions.
If a session is not specified, the system assumes the value all for sessions 0-63 for both cards in a two card installation. If the first session the first card is not configured, sb_te automatically proceeds to the first session on the next card. For example, if session 0 on card 0 is specified and that session is not configured, the system displays a failure message and the sb_te command proceeds to the first session on card 1.
Example
The following example invokes the 3270 terminal emulator for card 0 and session 0.
sb_te 0
The next example invokes the 3270 terminal emulator for sessions 35-40 for card 1.
sb_te 35-40
