Learn how to connect to a 5250 console locally.
To connect to a 5250 console locally, complete the following steps:
- In the navigation area, expand the Server and Partition folder.
- Select Server Management.
- In the contents area, right-click on the partition and select Open
dedicated 5250 console or Open shared 5250 console. If you select Shared, you must enter a session
key that can be used by another user with another 5250 emulator. If you are
the first user, the session key is entered twice to verify accuracy and it
is not echoed to the window as you type. Selecting this option allows you
to:
- Share a console session
- See the same logical partition console windows
- Navigate each of the logical partition console windows
If you select Open dedicated 5250 console,
other users are not able to share the session with you.
