Using display terminal for testing and debugging

When debugging applications on a test system, you can control whether a terminal window that displays host screens is created on the server display. You can use host screens displayed in the terminal window to observe interactions between the ZIETrans applications and the host application at runtime. You can also interact with the host application using the host screen in the terminal window. Terminal screens are created only for connections established while this option is turned on. They are not created for existing connections or for connections that are idle. However, the Host Connections panel in ZIETrans administrative console includes a Toggle Display Status button that turns display terminal on and off for selected connections.

You can turn display terminal on for any new host connections by selecting the Enable Display Terminal box on the Trace Settings panel under the Troubleshooting heading in the left navigation frame; however, you can use Toggle Display Terminal on the Host Connections panel to turn display terminal on and off for a particular connection at any time, regardless of whether you have selected the Enable Display Terminal box on the Trace Settings panel.
