Configuring Backup Sessions

Each Terminal Emulator that is configured must have a number of backup sessions configured for it. For most emulators, you are required to have one session file for every session that you want to have running at the same time. These are usually stored as separate files.

When you configure an emulator for use with Terminal Launcher, you must input a session file for it to use. To tell Terminal Launcher that it can use more than one session file, complete the following steps:

  1. Launch Terminal Launcher, then click Edit Available Emulators.

  2. Select the correct emulator from the Available Emulators window, then click Edit.

  3. Add the backup session files to the Session Files dialog box.

    You can launch only as many emulator sessions as there are session files defined.

    NOTE:  After the emulator is launched, these session files will be executed as a command line parameter. Some emulators (such as QWS3270 Plus) do not have session files. Instead, these emulators have individual sessions stored in the registry. Think of these session files as command line parameters that will be passed to the executable.
