Relay/3270 VM/VTAM (Updated 10/2/1998)

1) What is Relay/3270 for VM/VTAM?
Relay/3270 VM/VTAM provides 3270 emulation for personal computers which run Relay/Gold PC. It also supports 3287 printers. It executes under GCS and uses the VTAM API for all communication.

2) What is the currently supported version?
Version 5.00 at zap level 4 plus zap 999.

3) Is this product year 2000 compliant?
The latest version is Y2K compliant

4) Is this product supported on VM/ESA?
Yes, it was written for 31-bit processing and has been successfully used with Version 2.3

5) What is the different between this product and Relay/3270 VM?
The product requires GCS and VTAM. Relay/3270 VM runs in as a userid on a native VM system.

6) How can I tell what zap level I have on the product?
There is a zaplog in the minidisk for the R3270 userid that specifies the number of zaps applied when the product was shipped. If you cannot find a zaplog, look at the R3270 MODULE or R3270 TEXT and you’ll see an eye-catcher ZAPS: R500V004R500V999

7) I need a new codeword; where do I find the information about my current product?
If you are a new user of the product, contact NetManage with the Product Serial Number of your tape, your CPU model and group number and the CPUID (CPU serial number). This can be obtained by issuing a query CPUID from the console. The response is as follows:

CPUID = FF02077296720000

 CPUID is 020772; CPU model is 9672.

Relay uses the last 4 digits of the serial number to generate a codeword. Zap 999 must be applied, unless you have a tape dated later than May, 1998.

If you are a current user of Relay/3270 VM/VTAM V5.00:

The Product Serial Number and the system (or check) code are in the dataset called "R3270.DATALIB in a member called PROFILE, for example:

INSTALL E500032 645 C345222

In this case the Product Serial Number is E411133 and the system or check code is 762.

If you are not a current user of Relay/3270 VM/VTAM, we recommend you upgrade especially if you upgrade VM to ESA.
