IDB Basics

Introduction

On-line programming of the SCS options received through the SCS
emulation expands the possibilities for adapting the SCS/TNe Emu-

The SCS options are programmed using the IDB language. IDB is
short for Intermate Data Base and refers to the SCS/TNe Emula-
tion's storage of all SCS protocol conversion tables.
This chapter reviews how to use IDB commands to change the SCS
option settings remotely. Configuration of the IDB settings
should only be carried out by authorized technical personal.
A complete description is given in the IDB Technical Reference
guide, available on the internet site with manual updates listed in
"Support" on page 4.

Both TN3270E and TN5250E users can use the Advanced IDB Lan-

guage to access and configure/customize the SCS options found in
the protocol conversion tables.
