Creating a Connection Pool
Overview
When creating a 5250 Terminal component, you normally first create the
Connection object it needs. Similarly, when creating the objects comprising a
Connection Pool, you must create certain objects first, starting (in essence) at the
host and working your way backwards to the 5250 Terminal Component that will
access the host. A typical sequence of steps for creating a Connection Pool is:
Creating a Connection
This step is simple. Create a new TN5250 Connection Resource as described in
“To create a 5250 Connection Resource:” on page -18. Even though you will be
using User IDs and Passwords defined in the Logon Connection later, you should
still define one in the Connection as well. This will be needed when you define the
Logon Component in the next step. Alternatively, you can simply use an existing
Connection Resource.
Step One:
Create a basic host
Connection Resource
Step Two:
Create Logon Component
that uses basic Connection
Step Three:
Create Logon Connection
that uses Logon Component
Step Four:
Create standard Components
using Logon Connection
