A-9
Start a Startup TACL Session
Start a Startup TACL Session
Only one startup TACL session can be running at one time on a system. If another
user on your system is already using the startup TACL connection, you receive a
message that a duplicate session cannot be established. The startup TACL session is
usually started on the system console.
Start the OSM or TSM Low-Level Link
Start the OSM Service Connection or TSM
Service Application
Step Action Result
1. From the OSM or TSM Low-Level Link menu
bar, select File.
A menu appears.
2. Select Start Terminal Emulator. A menu appears.
3. Select For startup TACL. Two OutsideView windows appear.
4. Look at both OutsideView windows. Because they are overlaid on each other, you
need to switch between them.
The active one displays a TACL prompt.
5. Log on as a super-group user.
Step Action Result
