Personal Communications saves emulator configuration information to a workstation profile
(.WS) and SNA information to a configuration file (.ACG). Depending
on your Personal Communications configuration, you might have a workstation profile only or
both a workstation profile and a configuration file. The workstation profile can
be used later by other Personal Communications sessions, or to restart this session.
The SNA configuration file (.ACG) is used to initialize the SNA node
of Personal Communications.
You can have an icon created for each workstation profile. Then you can
select the session icon to establish communication with the host system
using the saved workstation profile.
Note:
If you configure more than one workstation profile for connection
to an SNA host, we strongly recommend that you use the same SNA configuration
file for all of them. If you do not use a common SNA configuration
file, make sure that there are no conflicts of link names or PU names
(for 3270 sessions) between the two configuration files. In addition,
the local system information should be the same on the Configure Local
System windows. Failure to do this might result in unpredictable or
inconsistent behavior.
Configuring for iSeries®, eServer™ i5,
or System i5®
To connect to an iSeries, eServer i5,
or System i5, specific configuration information in
the workstation profile must correspond to the information specified at the iSeries, eServer i5,
or System i5 system. Refer to the iSeries, eServer i5,
or System i5 configuration examples in Emulator User's Reference for more information about creating
display, line, and controller descriptions on the iSeries, eServer i5,
or System i5 system.
If you want to configure multiple links, refer to Administrator's Guide and Reference.

directory is the application data directory specified during installation.
You can save configuration changes by selecting File->Save
or File->Save As.
Changing Configuration Information
You can change all of the configuration parameters in the workstation profile
and the SNA configuration.
Changing an SNA Configuration
You can change the basic configuration parameters of an SNA configuration
for your session in the following ways:
Using the emulator SNA configuration wizard
Using the SNA Node Configuration utility
Editing the configuration file with an ASCII editor
Note:
To change advanced configuration options or to specify
a different default configuration, you should use the SNA Node Configuration
program, which provides more configuration options than the emulator
wizard. If you manually edit the configuration files, it is highly
recommended that you use the SNA Node Configuration Verification utility,
before using the file for the first time.
Using the Emulator Configuration
To change an SNA configuration, use the following procedure:
Select Configure from the Communication
menu, then click Session Parameters.
Change the parameters on this window as necessary and click OK.
Click Link Parameters.
Your default configuration
file should be opened automatically. If you want to change a different
configuration, click Existing and choose the
configuration file you want to change.
A wizard is displayed
to prompt you through the configuration.
Make your changes and then click Next.
Now
you can proceed through the wizard and make additional changes, if
necessary.
Click Finish when you are done.
If you want to replace the existing configuration, click Yes to overwrite it. If you want to create a new
configuration that is based on the existing one, type a new file name;
however, you must use SNA Node Configuration to make a new configuration
the default configuration.
Click OK until you return to the session window.
Using the SNA Node Configuration Program
The SNA Node Configuration program is a graphical user interface
(GUI) for managing the content of the .ACG files. This program allows
you to define individual SNA resources or change the definition of
these resources.
Using an ASCII Editor to Change Your Configuration Files
You can create and modify a configuration file without going through
the SNA Node configuration interface. You can use the ASCII editor
of your choice. A verification tool is available to ensure that you
have not made errors when editing your file.
Refer to the Configuration File Reference manual
for information on how to edit your configuration data using an ASCII
editor and how to verify your editing changes.
Changing a Workstation Profile
To change a workstation profile, use the following procedure:
If your session window is not active, select the icon corresponding to
the workstation profile to be changed.
The session window appears.
Select Configure from the Communication menu.
The
subsequent steps are the same as for creating a new configuration,
beginning with step 3.
After you have made your changes, the following message appears:
Because you have changed the configuration,
communication will be terminated if you
proceed. Are you sure?
If you click OK,
communication ends, but then you are reconnected using the new configuration
information.
To save the changes in your workstation profile, click Save from the File menu in the session window and then
click Yes to replace the existing file. Otherwise,
click No to save this information in a new configuration
file.

Lam-Alef Expansion
The bidirectional layout engine converts between visual and implicit
representation of Arabic characters. The Lam-Alef ligature in visual
representation is expanded to <Lam> and <Alef> characters in
implicit representation. If there are insufficient blank spaces at
the end of Arabic text (i.e., the beginning of the English field)
into which the Lam-Alef can be expanded, characters at the end of
the Arabic field are lost and replaced by the <SUB> control character.
To ensure a sufficient number of spaces at the beginning of the
field, Personal Communications protects one space for each <Lam-Alef> character.
An error message is returned if you try to enter a character in the
protected space.
In the following example, entering one <Lam-Alef> character
at the beginning of the Arabic field results in the protection of
one space at the beginning of the English field.
Position

<Lam-Alef>
In this example, two <Lam-Alef> characters have been entered,
so Personal Communications protects two spaces at the end of the Arabic field.
Position

Notes:
If there are no more unprotected spaces available in a field and
you try to enter any additional characters, you will receive an error
message and the keyboard will be locked. Click Reset to
unlock the keyboard.
For the Paste and Delete functions, if the leftmost space in the
field (position 1 in the above examples) is not blank when the <Lam-Alef>
character is entered, you will not be able to enter the <Lam-Alef>
character and Personal Communications will return an invalid key error message.
This expansion feature is not supported for Windows Terminal Server.
You may enable this expansion protection feature from the Edit -> Preferences -> Appearance ->
Display Setup menu.
File Transfer
For Arabic, when transferring files between the PC and the host,
the available PC code pages are 864 (IBM® PC Arabic)
and 1256 (Microsoft Windows Arabic).
For Hebrew, when transferring files between the PC and the host,
the available PC code pages are 862 (IBM PC Hebrew),
916 (Hebrew ISO-conforming), and 1255 (Microsoft Windows Hebrew).
Note:
When uploading a PC file to the host,
if you specify a record length smaller than the PC line length, lines
can wrap incorrectly at the host. To avoid this problem, you should
upload the PC file with a record length greater than the maximum PC
line length. You can then use a host editor (such as XEDIT) to split
the lines.
You can set the file transfer parameters using the following procedure:
Click Edit -> Preferences -> Transfer in
the session window.
