The problem with using multiple emulator sessions is that if you lose your network connection to the mainframe, you also lose all your tn3270 sessions too. By logging on to the mainframe applications though a session manager, the session manager will hold your sessions open for you until you log back in. That's the big benefit I tell our users, even other system programmers at my site. Mark T. Regan, K8MTR CTO1 USNR-Retired (1969-1991)

We use (ug!) Windows and a suitable (supports TLS/SSL) TN3270 emulator. Works great, users love it, minimal cost, minimal user training. The only minuses are users having to log on many times and users closing windows without logging off. Modern users are accustomed to having any number of open windows on their workstation and bouncing around at will, cutting here, pasting there. A little creativity / human engineering in your DNS and a small 'how to' document might be all you need to convert your entire user base. HTH and good luck. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Todd Blandford Sent: Wednesday, February 20, 2008 12:31 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Replacement for CA - TPX - Session Manager? Hello listers - Has anyone had any experience (good or bad) with replacing the CA's TPX with a different session manager? Thank you.
