You can make changes to session profiles that are not available through the GUI. You can make these changes by adding/changing an entry in the [PROFILE] section of a session profile with an .hep extension. Session profiles are located in the Profile directory where the user files are stored on your machine. To access the User Files folder, double-click the User Files shortcut in the Hummingbird Connectivity program group.

You can change the following parameters:

  • Auto End Quick-Key/Quick Script/Macro—Enables HostExplorer to save the macro, Quick-Key, or Quick Script and launch it automatically each time you close a session.
  • Clear Buffer On Connect—Enables or prevents the screen from being cleared on reconnect.
  • Disable Replies—Disables any specific 3270 structured field support.
  • Display Field Info—Prevents HostExplorer from updating the Numeric Field and Operator Selectable Field in the OIA each time you move the cursor.
  • Max Hosts History—Limits the number of host names that display in the Open Session dialog box and the New Profile Host Name list.
  • ReRun Auto Quick-Key—Disables the Auto Quick-Key/Macro when a session is reconnected.
  • Show Maximized—Opens all session windows in the maximized state.
  • Scroll SSCP Screens—Prevents scrolling of SSCP screens when in SSCP_LU mode.
  • TN5250E—Disables support for the TN5250E protocol.
