IDB Basics Introduction On-line programming of the SCS options received through the SCS emulation expands the possibilities for adapting the SCS/TNe Emulation to existing applications. The SCS options are programmed using the IDB language. IDB is short for Intermate Data Base and refers to the SCS/TNe Emulation's storage of all SCS protocol conversion tables. This chapter reviews how to use IDB commands to change the SCS option settings remotely. Configuration of the IDB settings should only be carried out by authorized technical personal. A complete description is given in the IDB Technical Reference guide, available on the internet site with manual updates listed in "Support" on page 4. The IDB Languages Both TN3270E and TN5250E users can use the Advanced IDB Language to access and configure/customize the SCS options found in the protocol conversion tables.
