OFS5.OFS Telnet Mode - R16 3


You see a sample OFS.SOURCE record for the Telnet mode. Compared to the Batch mode,
the differences here are the SOURCE.TYPE, LOGIN.ID and GENERIC.USER fields .

Login Id
You need to enter the id of a OS level user. It is used to determine whether a direct Telnet
connection should be allowed for that particular user.
This field is not validated. Since the direct connection is no longer used, this field entry is not
relevant. However you need to enter some value here since it is a mandatory field. The sample
entry here shows ANY for example.
Syntax Type
Syntax type is always OFS for the Telnet mode.

Generic User
Generic User is mandatory for online connections. This is not relevant for connections via
TCS. So then what was it’s use?

This specified the T24 user context used by the OFS.ONLINE.MANAGER phantom process if
the Source Type was Telnet. This user should have had security access to EB.PHANTOM.PH.

If the IB.USER.CHECK was set to Yes, which was the case for OFS connections meant for the
Temenos Internet Banking product, this user provided the SMS profile for all transactions.

You can invoke tSS from the tafjshell prompt to simulate a online connection. Type tRun tSS
followed by an OFS.SOURCE record id (whose source type is TELNET). For e.g tRun tSS
TEST.TELNET

You should see a screen similar to the one showed.

OFS5.OFS Telnet Mode - R16 5


Test if the online connection works by entering a OFS Enquiry request.
E.g.
ENQUIRY.SELECT,,AUTHOR/123123,CATEGORY-LIST

OFS5.OFS Telnet Mode - R16 6


Test if connection works with a transaction request as well.
E.g.
ABBREVIATION,/I/PROCESS,AUTHOR/123123,CUST,
ORIGINAL.TEXT=CUSTOMER

Note the INPUTTER audit field. It shows the that the inputter is the user that you supplied
along with your message, and the OFS source is the one that you supplied as a parameter
while invoking tSS.

The source type to be used for browser connections is SESSION. However
OFS.SESSION.MANAGER checks if the message is an xml type message (i.e. whether it
begins with <?xml ) , and if so sets the Source Type to SESSION.
