VTAM
MUP™:
Product Overview:
The VTAM Multi-User Platform (VTAM MUP) provides program services for multiple users
per address space and multiple address spaces in a native MVS VTAM environment.
Automatic SAF calls provide security processing at the same level as TSO. The
VTAM MUP provides a high performance TSO-like environment without the high overhead
of native MVS TSO. The VTAM MUP supports the SSR Server and FSE+ applications
from ASI. A batch job to initiate SSR Server transfers is included with the
SSR Server version of the VTAM MUP.
One or more workstations are acquired and optionally logged on to the SSR Server
application executing under the VTAM MUP. The batch job then instructs the workstations
to perform one or more file transfers to or from the host. All SSR Server
functions are available in the VTAM host-initiated environment. The VTAM MUP
and its API are available for OEM customers. The API enables applications to
interface with the MUP terminal I/O and storage management routines. Additional
information is available upon request.
