Take the following steps to record the logon automation macro:
In an open session, click the Record Macro button on the toolbar.
On the Record Macro window (Record macro
window), under
Express Logon Feature, select Web.
Figure 1. Record macro
window
Enter the application ID (3270 sessions only) in the Application
ID window (Application
ID ) and then click OK. This
name must match the RACF PTKTDATA (Passticket Data Profile) application
name that is configured on the z/OS host. This name could be the same
as the application name that the user is logging on to (for example,
the name on USSMSG10). When creating PTKTDATA profiles for applications
such as TSO (time sharing option), the application name portion of
the profile will most likely not be the same. For example, RACF requires
that the application ID portion of the profile name be TSO+SID. Refer
to the Security Server (RACF) Security Administrator's
Guide, publication number SC28-1915, to determine the correct
profile naming. You can obtain this ID from the host administrator.

ID
The Screen Criteria window (Screen Criteria)
shows you what is needed by the macro to complete the logon. Once
you reach a screen that meets any of the criteria, click OK..
Figure 3. Screen Criteria
On the Alternate Start Screen window (Alternate
Start Screen), specify whether this screen is an alternate
start screen and then click Next. The macro can start playing when
a start screen is recognized or when an alternate screen is recognized.
You can have only one alternate start screen per logon. If you have
multiple logons, you will pass through this screen again.
The alternate
start screen is a screen from which the user might want to play the
macro to log on to the application. If the application has more than
one possible start screen, you should identify it during the recording
process so that the macro can be played from that screen. For example,
the logon process might begin from the USSMSG10 screen or the application
logon screen. You may start the logon macro from either the start
screen or the alternate start screen. You can designate only one screen
as an alternate start screen. There is no alternate start screen
after the screen that contains the user ID.
Figure 4. Alternate
Start Screen
On the User ID Field window (User ID Field),
select Yes to specify that the session screen contains a user ID field.
Click Next.
Figure 5. User ID Field
On the User ID Field Location window (User ID Field
Location), type the user ID in the User ID field,
not on the session screen. You must enter a user ID to continue recording
the macro. The macro enters the actual user ID text in the user ID
field on the session screen. Row/column determines the cursor position
on the screen for the user ID field. Click Current to use the cursor's
current position on the session screen if you know it is correct.
If the current cursor position is not correct, move the cursor to
the beginning of the user ID field on the session screen to identify
where the user will enter the user ID and click Current. The field
values change to match the new cursor position on the screen. If
the initial cursor position is correct, then there is no need to move
the cursor on the session screen. When you are finished, click Next.
Click Current only if you will not be using
this screen for multiple applications and the location of the user
ID field never changes.

On the Password Field window (Password Field),
select Yes to specify that the session screen contains a password
field. Click Next.
Figure 7. Password Field
On the Password Field Location window (Password Field
Location), type the password in the Password field
on this window, not on the screen. You must enter a password to continue
recording the macro. The macro enters the actual password text in
the password field on the session screen. Row/Column determines the
cursor position on the screen for the password field. Click Current
to use the cursor's current position on the session screen if it is
correct. If not, move the cursor to the beginning of the Password
field on the session screen to specify where the user will enter the
password and click Current. The field values change to match the new
cursor position on the screen. If the initial cursor position is correct,
then there is no need to move the cursor on the session screen. When
you are finished, click Next.
Click Current only if you will not be using
this screen for multiple applications and the location of the password
field never changes.

On the Multiple Logons window (Multiple Logons),
click either Yes or No.
Figure 9. Multiple Logons Click Yes if you want to define another logon sequence for an
additional application. If you click Yes, you will advance to the
Continue window (Continue). Once you reach
a point in the macro that requires another User ID and password logon,
click Next.
Figure 10. Continue Click No to finish recording the logon portion of the macro
(see Finish). Click OK to finish.
Figure 11. Finish
Finish recording your macro using the Macro Manager, and click
Stop on the toolbar.
If you are planning to save the macro to your current session
(and not to a file), another window appears that asks you if you would
like the macro to start automatically when the user opens the session.
Click Yes if you would like the macro to auto-start. If you select
No, the user will have to start the macro manually.
