Logon manager

The transaction processing facility (TPF) is an application program dedicated to high-speed transaction processing. It is designed to handle a large volume of transactions submitted from many remote logical units. The logon manager is a VTAM® application program that provides logon services for TPF.

The logon manager provides logon access to a TPF application program from independent and dependent logical units. If you define your TPF application program as a host processor (type 5), only dependent LUs can access the TPF application program. However, if you define your TPF application program as a type 2.1 physical unit, both dependent and independent LUs can access the TPF application program.

Note: To implement the logon manager, you need to have NCP Version 4 Release 3 or a subsequent release.
