RE: YAIQ - Yet another ignorant question: multiple LPARs.

Charles,

I use both methods! Color coding plus session labels! I use a std
"green-screen" color for production.

Development is a std newspaper color (Black on white)

Rob,

You only have to setup the colors once. Yes, it takes a few minutes if
your using nine sessions but it does come in handy. Especially when you
are comparing code from production to development.

I use session Name in the Title bar also.

The color is simply a way obvious clue to the environment the session is
to.

If all 9 of your sessions are to production machines, then I could see
that
color wouldn't help. On the other hand, if 3 are to development, 3 are
to
various QA boxes, and 3 are to various production boxes , a
Green/Yellow/Red
color scheme like I use may offer a nice flag.

I have nine 5250 sessions open now. That doesn't cover all lpars. I
simply go into: Edit, Preferences, Appearance, Window Setup, Window
Title. Click all off except Session Name. In Session Name I either

give

it the lpar name or lpar name and a suffix (for multiple sessions to

one

lpar). Now when I hover over the icon in the tool bar, or try to

select

from stacked icons in the tool bar or try to Alt-Tab between sessions

I

find that pretty informative.
Trying to color this would be too much for me.

Yep, mine are color coded also.

Green (go): Dev
Yellow (caution): Qa
Red (stop & think): Pdn

I myself, have a single icon I click that starts 4 sessions: two

to

Dev, one to Qa, and one to Pdn. If needed, it's a couple of

clicks to

start additional sessions to any of the systems.

Charles

And my sessions to Dev use default colours. Qa shows brighter

colours,

and the colours of Production are downright hideous ... just a

reminder

that I really do not want to be there <grin />.

Cheers,
Terry.
