Configuring macro-based automation in a Portal Server environment
In order to implement macro-based automation in a Portal Server environment, you must configure your Z and I Emulator for Web session to run as a portlet in the IBM WebSphere Portal Server space. You must also configure the Portal Server's Credential Vault Service with the appropriate host credential information, including the user's password, application ID, and host address. In this environment, the Portal Server's Credential Vault is similar to Host Credential Mapper (HCM) Vault database. For details about how to configure Portal Server's Credential Vault, refer to the Web Express Logon for Z and I Emulator for Web white paper, located at .

The Portal Credential Vault cannot be used as the HCM database for RACF passticket generation. |
The following steps show you how to use the Deployment Wizard to create your Z and I Emulator for Web portlet, configure your host session, and record your login macro.

Steps 1–5 are designed for administrators who are planning to use the Deployment Wizard to create the portlet, configure the host session to use Web Express Logon, and record the Web Express Logon macro all in one sitting. However, you may decide to create your portlet first and then configure your session and create your macro later. |
