TSO/VTAM z/OS Communications Server: SNA Network Implementation Guide SC27-3672-01 |
|
TSO/VTAM provides the capability of using TSO through VTAM®. TSO is a standard feature in MVS™ that provides conversational time sharing. TSO/VTAM supports the following terminals:
TSO/VTAM can also support the following non-SNA terminals in conjunction
with the IBM Network Terminal
Option licensed program:
The basic elements of TSO/VTAM are the terminal control address space (TCAS) and the VTAM terminal I/O coordinator (VTIOC). TCAS accepts logons from TSO/VTAM users and creates an address space for each user. VTIOC is the interface between TSO and VTAM; it coordinates data flow. TCAS and VTIOC, together with existing TSO components such as the LOGON scheduler, the application programs, the terminal monitor program, and the TSO service routines, make up a TSO/VTAM time-sharing system. The user logon to the TCAS address space is passed to the TSO user address space without initially establishing a session between the TCAS address space and the TSO terminal. Instead, the session is established between the TSO terminal and the TSO user address space, avoiding session establishment and termination with the TCAS address space and avoiding your receiving message USSMSG7. TSO/VTAM and TSO through VTAM can reside in the same host processor. Note: z/OS® limits the number of concurrent TSO/E sessions
to eight.
