What Is Dynamic Terminal?

1.	What Is Dynamic Terminal?
Answer» A DYNAMIC terminal is not statically defined in the IMS system definition. IMS can create a dynamic terminal definition. This type REQUIRES EITHER the IMS ETO, which is a separately priced feature of IMS TM, or other third-party vendor products. Definitions for dynamic terminals are generated when the user logs on. If a terminal user attempts to connect to IMS using a terminal that is defined to IMS as STATIC, the user will use the defined node name and LTERM name combination. If a terminal user attempts to connect to IMS using a terminal that is not defined to IMS as static, and dynamic terminal support is available, a dynamic terminal product (such as ETO) is used to determine the LTERM name and whether the name is based on the user ID, the node name, or some other value.
