Creating, saving and using a local session

Here is an example of how to create, save and use a new local session.

The example assumes that your workstation is connected to the Internet so that JET 3270 can connect to the Library of Congress TN3270 server at locis.loc.gov. If your workstation is not connected to the Internet but can access a local TN3270 server then you should be able to get similar results by substituting the hostname of the local TN3270 server where locis.loc.gov appears.

  • Start JET 3270 from the original Shortcut.htm file.
    Note: Another web page can be used to start JET 3270 for this example if the web page does not have any applet parameters that start with disable_ set to yes.
  • If JET 3270 is running within the browser window:
    • Click the Close Session toolbar button (trash can/garbage bin icon).
    • Click New Window.
      A JET 3270 window and Untitled Session Settings dialog box appear.
  • If a JET 3270 window appears but no Untitled Session Settings dialog box appears:
    • From the Session menu select Close.
    • Click New Window.
