The XML to request an ALC MATIP screen object is as follows:
<ScreenAlc TerminalType="D1">
<MatipClient HostName="yourhost" Addressing2Byte="false" ConcentratorHost="localhost" H1="yourH1" H2="yourH2" A1="yourA1" A2="yourA2" TA="yourTA" />
</ScreenAlc>
Additional ScreenAlc and MatipClient XML parameters are shown in the tables below. Except where noted, these parameters use the following syntax:
name="value"
where name is the name of a parameter and value is a valid value for that parameter. These tags should be placed within the object being defined. For example, to add the DisplayNewLines parameter, the first line of the XML shown above would be changed from
<ScreenAlc TerminalType="D1">
to
<ScreenAlc TerminalType="D1" DisplayNewLines="True">
The default values are shown in bold in the Value column or given in the Description column. If a parameter is not included in the XML, its default value is used automatically.
| ScreenAlc XML Parameters | ||
|---|---|---|
| Parameter | Value | Description |
| TerminalType | D1 | ALC terminal with a fixed size of 15 x 64. |
| D2 | ALC terminal with a fixed size of 23 x 64. | |
| D3 | ALC terminal with a fixed size of 23 x 80. | |
| D4 | ALC terminal with a fixed size of 30 x 64. | |
| D5 | ALC terminal with a fixed size of 24 x 80. | |
| DisplayNewLines | True | Display the newline character at the end of each line when the presentation space receives data from the host. When this option is set to True, CR appears in the status line. |
| False | Do not display the newline character at the end of each line. | |
| ForceCaps | True | Display uppercase characters as you type, even if you type lowercase characters. |
| False | Display the text you type in both uppercase and lowercase. | |
| SwordMode | True | Transmit all data from the current cursor location to the preceding start-of-message (SOM) indicator or to the upper-left corner of the presentation space, whichever is encountered first. This ensures that the presentation space does not wrap from the upper-left corner of the presentation space to the lower-right corner of the presentation space in search of an SOM indicator. (Sword screens normally do not include an SOM indicator.) |
| False | Transmit all data from the current cursor location to the preceding SOM indicator. If the SOM indicator occurs after the cursor location, the presentation space transmits all the data from the cursor to the upper-left corner of the presentation space, as well as all data from the lower-right corner of the presentation space to the SOM indicator. | |
| SystemDownStatus | text | Up to 12 characters of text to display on the status line when a connection with the host is not currently established. The default is Sys Unavail. |
| PushRepeatStatus | text | Up to 9 characters of text to display on the status line when there is a problem with a message received from the host. The default is Push Rpt. |
| ReenterStatus | text | Up to 9 characters of text to display on the status line when an error occurs in the transmission to the host, or when the format is not correct. The default is Reenter. |
| KeyboardLockedStatus | text | Up to 9 characters of text to display on the status line when the keyboard is locked. The default is Kybd Locked. |
| MatipClient XML Parameters | ||
|---|---|---|
| Parameter | Value | Description |
| HostName | name | IP address or domain name of the MATIP concentrator or host. If you are using outbound opens (for example, the MATIP host initiates the connection to the SDK), then the HostAddress should be set to "*". |
| H1 | hexaddr | The hexadecimal (0x0-0xFF) addressing byte to use for this configuration. The values for the H1, H2, A1, and A2 parameters are collectively a cluster address, which is called an ASCU address. |
| H2 | hexaddr | The hexadecimal (0x0-0xFF) addressing byte to use for this configuration. The values for the H1, H2, A1, and A2 parameters are collectively a cluster address, which is called an ASCU address. |
| A1 | hexaddr | The hexadecimal (0x0-0xFF) addressing byte to use for this configuration. The values for the H1, H2, A1, and A2 parameters are collectively a cluster address, which is called an ASCU address. |
| A2 | hexaddr | The hexadecimal (0x0-0xFF) addressing byte to use for this configuration. The values for the H1, H2, A1, and A2 parameters are collectively a cluster address, which is called an ASCU address. |
| TA | hexaddr | The hexadecimal (0x0-0xFF) terminal address to use for this configuration. |
| ConnectionStatusInterval | seconds |
The number of seconds of inactivity (no data exchanged between the client and host) that should elapse before the client verifies whether or not the connection with the host still exists. This is also the number of seconds that will elapse between connection status queries if the value for ConnectionStatusRetries is greater than 1.
If ConnectionStatusRetries is 0 or blank, any value for ConnectionStatusInterval is ignored. The default value is 0. |
| ConnectionStatusRetries | number |
The number of consecutive unanswered connection status queries that should be made before the session is closed. A typical number of retries would be between 1 and 10.
If ConnectionStatusRetries is 0 or blank, the client will not make any connection status queries. The default value is 0. |
| CnfUrl | URL | The URL of an Micro Focus Lantern Gateway CNF file (if any) that contains additional configuration information. Sample .cnf files are located in <Installation Location>\CNF. |
| ConcentratorHost | ipaddr | IP address or domain name of MATIP concentrator. The recommended value is localhost. If you are bypassing the Concentrator, set this value to "". |
| ConcentratorPort | number | TCP port on which MATIP concentrator is listening for connections. The default value is 350. |
| SODelay | milliseconds | Time in milliseconds before MATIP Sign On (SO) packet is sent to the host after a TCP/IP connection is established. |
| Addressing2Byte | True | Use 2-byte addressing when connecting to MATIP Concentrator or host. |
| False | Use 4-byte addressing when connecting to MATIP Concentrator or host. | |
| LocalPort | 0 | Autoselects the Local Port. |
| integer | Enter the port number to specify a local port to use. | |
| HostPort | 350 | Sets the default host port. |
| integer | Specifies a remote/host port to use. | |
| CharEncoding | IPARS | Specifies that padded IPARS characters will be used. |
| ASCII | Specifies that ASCII characters will be used. | |
| EBCDIC | Specifies that EBCDIC characters will be used. | |
| WSE | False | Disables the Worldspan Extended MATIP protocol (uses normal MATIP). |
| True | Enables Worldspan Extended MATIP protocol. This parameter is valid only when you are using a MATIP Concentrator. | |
| WSEPIN | string | Specifies the security PIN from Worldspan (up to a five digit string). This parameter is valid only when Worldspan Extended MATIP is enabled. |
| HostToHost | False | Disables the host-to-host MATIP support (uses Terminal MATIP). |
| True | Enables the host-to-host MATIP support. | |
| SITA | False |
Specifies the IATA host-to-host support (disables SITA).
This parameter is valid only when HostToHost is enabled. |
| True | Enables SITA host-to-host support. | |
| MultiFlow | False | Disables MultiFlow. |
| True | Enables MultiFlow. This parameter is valid only when HostToHost and SITA are both enabled. | |
| FlowID | flowID | Address to use in HostToHost communications This parameter is valid only when HostToHost, SITA, and MultiFlow are all enabled. |
| HostRejectCodes | string |
The string contains a comma-separated list of values to be reported for the errors below in the order listed. Values may be omitted, in which case the default code is reported.
For example, HostRejectCodes="0x40,,65,,,0x42,67" results in the reject code table "0x40, 0x91,0x41, 0x93,0x94,0x42,0x43,0x97,0x98."
The following are the default Host Rejection Codes:
|
| OperatorDisable | False | The listen request, if used, functions normally. This is the default behavior. |
| True | Disables a particular listen request, so that outbound opens of that particular MATIP address will be rejected with the last reject code in the HostRejectCodes table. | |
| SecureConnection | true | Create a TLS-secured connection. |
| false | Create a normal unsecured TCP connection (default). | |
| FIPSMode | true | Enforce FIPS 140-2 operation (default). |

| KeyStoreFormat | (JKS, BCFKS, PKS12) | Format of the Key Store file (required). |
| KeyStorePWD | password | Password used to create the Key Store file (required). |
| IDMgr | URL | The URL needed to access the Reflection ID Manager. For example: “http[s]://DNSName.com[:port]/rwebidm” |
| *IDMgrPool | PoolName | Will be sent as specified. |
| *IDMgrIPAddress | address | The actual IP address will be sent if you supply an empty string, but it may not be the address you expect. |
