Pop-up menu

A pop-up menu is provided to enable the user to perform actions on one or more applications in the view. Select one or more application names and right-click to show the menu. The following menu items are available:
Open
Selecting this menu item starts a new instance of the selected application. If multiple applications are selected, an instance of each selected application is started.
View Print Jobs
This menu item is only enabled when at least one print-enabled application is selected. Selecting this menu item opens either the Print Jobs (3270) or Print Jobs (5250) view, which displays a list of queued print jobs. See Enabling print support for more information.
Properties
This menu item is enabled if only one application is selected. Selecting this menu item allows a user to see information about the application as well as configure some settings related to the application. The following pages are provided in the Properties dialog for a selected application:
Info
The Info page displays information about the selected application, including its name, ID, version, and physical location of the plug-in. The page also shows the version of the ZIETrans runtime plug-in being used by the application. This information is useful when a user must communicate information about the environment to a support team. The user cannot change any values on this page. It is for information only.
Connection Parameters
This item does not appear in the list if you have chosen to disallow the user from overriding any connection parameters, which is the default. See Connection parameter overrides for more information.

If you allow overrides, this page allows the user to override connection parameters. This function is equivalent to the ZIETrans function for Web applications that allows a user to override connection parameters using the URL when the application is first accessed. An example of using connection parameter overriding might be where the user needs to override a workstation ID or LU name.

The user sets an override by clicking the Add button, selecting a parameter from drop-down list for the Name field, and setting a value in the Value field. No validation within the dialog is performed to alert the user whether the supplied connection parameter name can be overridden. By default, the override setting is enabled when first added. It can be disabled by clearing the check box next to the parameter name.

When the user overrides a connection parameter, the settings are saved on the local workspace. Overridden parameter values are used when an instance of the session is started.

.

Variables
This item will not appear in the list if you have chosen to disallow the user from overriding any global variables, which is the default. See Global variable overrides for more information.

If you allow overrides, this page allows the user to override global variables. This function is equivalent to the ZIETrans function for Web applications that allows a user to override global and shared global variables using the URL when the application is first accessed.

This capability allows user-specific variable data to be used in the application. For example, you can record a macro that prompts for a user name and password supplied from the values of global variables. The user can supply these values in the variables override page. These values are then used when the macro is run when the sign on screen is recognized.

The user sets an override by clicking the Add button, selecting a variable name from drop-down list for the Name field, setting a value in the Value field, and specifying whether the global variable is Shared. No validation within the dialog is performed to alert the user whether the supplied global variable name can be overridden. By default, the override setting is enabled when first added. It can be disabled by clearing the check box next to the variable name.

When the user overrides a global variable, the settings are stored in the data directory of the environment. Overridden global variable values are used when an instance of the session is started.
