Prior to Version 3.1.0 of Clients and Gateways, whether a terminal was sign-on capable or not depended upon the server implementation. Client terminals installed on distributed CICS® servers were sign-on capable; terminals installed on mainframe CICS and CICS Transaction Server for iSeries™ servers were sign-on incapable.
Use CICS_EpiAddExTerminal and set the sign-on capability parameter in the CICS_EpiAttributes_t structure.
Set the sign-on capability parameter when constructing a CclTerminal class object.
Use the SetTermDefns method of the Terminal COM class.
The sign-on capability of the installed terminal is returned in the terminal attributes. This will be set to SIGNON_UNKNOWN if the server does not return a sign-on capability parameter in the terminal install (CTIN) response.
To use any of the extended EPI functionality, ensure that you have applied the relevant server APAR; see CICS server PTF requirements.
