Titan Application Selection Software To Be Replaced

The software that supports the Titan Application Selection screen, which is the first screen you see when you connect to Titan, is scheduled to be replaced on Tuesday, September 9th, 2008. This screen had been supported by the IBM product Netview Access Services (NVAS), which IBM is no longer shipping. Its replacement, Session Manager, has been configured to look very similar to the current Application Selection screen and to provide the same functionality.

Test out the new software

You can test Session Manager by logging on through port 10000 or port 10001 (SSL).

If you are using QWS3270:

1. Click the Edit button for Titan in the Connect dialog box.
   You will see the Connection dialog box.
2. Change the Port Number to 10000 or 10001.
