IMS V8 Sysplex Terminal Manager
- Sysplex Terminal Management recovers terminal state information after a session reconnect, and allows the terminal user to log back onto another IMS after a failure. The Resource Manager is used to share VTAM terminal-related resources between IMS systems in the IMS Sysplex. IMS-managed VTAM Generic Resources affinity can be eliminated, while maintaining terminal and user state data. IMS will maintain VTAM terminal and user state data if requested. IMS enforces resource type consistency for message destinations and enforces resource name uniqueness. IMS supports the global Callable Services for terminals/users, enabling user exits to obtain node and user information across the IMS Sysplex.
- Sysplex Terminal Management
- Allows VTAM to manage Generic Resource affinity while IMS can maintain VTAM terminal and user state data, if requested
- Enforces resource type consistency for message destinations and resource name uniqueness
- Supports global callable services for terminals/users allowing user exits to obtain node and user information across IMS Sysplex
- Uses the Resource Manager (RM) to share VTAM terminal-related resources in the IMS Sysplex
- Autologons can now be initiated from a single IMS in the IMSplex. The installation designates one or more IMS systems as 'autologon frontend-capable' systems and IMS designates one of these as the active autologon system. When autologon output is generated from any system, IMS will initiate the autologon from the active autologon system. This eliminates printer 'thrashing'
