User Function Selection Screen; Update Environment For User Screen - IBM Professional Series User Manual

User Function Selection Screen
From the USER SELECTION screen let us select user CMS
and press ENTER. This takes us to the USER FUNCTION
SELECTION screen. If you had chosen to add a new user,
this screen would have been bypassed, and you would have
gone directly to the UPDATE ENVIRONMENT FOR
USER screen, which we will discuss later. Here, notice that
we have 4 function keys activated. F3 returns us to the main
menu as is always the case. F5 returns us to the USER
SELECTION screen which was the previous screen. We will
not discuss these two keys any further since they always
perform the same function. This is the first screen in which
the Scroll keys are activated.
If
you had more than 1 user
listed on the previous screen, you would be able to scroll
through the list using the F7 and F8 keys. Notice the name
change on the top of this screen as you scroll.
Update Environment for User Screen
Select "User Environment" for user CMS and press ENTER.
You will see the environment items, for the user CMS, listed
on the screen. Press the scroll keys and watch all of the
environment items change as you scroll through the list of
users.
If
you select" ADD new user" and then try to scroll
through the user list, you will never come back to the screen
with the blank input areas, because that entry is not yet
considered a user. You must go back to the USER
SELECTION screen and again select to add a new user.
The "USERID" is the name given to identify the VM/PC
user.
It
is required in order to logon and use the system.
It
may contain from 1 to 8 characters. You may wish to
establish a convention such as using the last name of users as
their USERIDs. To delete a user from the configuration file
just blank out the "USERID" field on this screen.
The "Password" is a character string that provides access
authority to logon to the given USERID and access the
associated data. This is a secret word which should only be
known by the user and by the Technical Coordinator.
The "Virtual Machine Storage Size" specifies the amount of
storage the user will have simulated in his virtual machine
when he logs on to VM/PC. The amount of storage is
3-12
