How to: |
Use the Recorder mode to create a file that can be used with Player Server to simulate a live connection to the mainframe. Each screen, keystroke, and text entry that you enter is recorded into a dump file. When you play it back with the Player Server, this recorded session is played back exactly as you navigated through your screens. This allows you to either design web-mode or RPC mode sessions against these screens or use the session for offline testing or debugging.
To use Telnet Designer in Recorder (REC) mode:
The Terminal Emulator window opens with the Connection tab active, as shown in the following image.
The Advanced tab of the Terminal Emulator opens. Make a selection from the Language drop-down list. The Language selection determines the national language character set that will be used in your emulation session.
If you want to use a specific terminal name (LU) or pool name (LU pool) with your mainframe connection, type this value in the LU Name field. This option allows the mainframe to dedicate specific connections and privileges to specific telnet ports.
A connection is made to the mainframe online system.
The mainframe session window opens in the right pane of Telnet Designer. The following image shows an example of a mainframe window in Telnet Designer.
As you move through each screen of the mainframe, session information is written to a file.
The Save As dialog box opens, as shown in the following image.
Note: Entering information in the Remarks field is optional.
The following image shows an example prerecorded file, REC1, under the dumps folder.
You are ready to develop against the prerecorded file.
