IBM has notified that IBM Session Manager product will be phased out by the

They suggest we migrate to IBM CL/Supersession.
I would like to know of other vendor products that do a similar function.
IBM Session Manager for z/OS is Macro 4 Tubes (rebranded). So, if you
want near-zero conversion effort, that would be the way to go.
CL/Supersession isn't a bad product (originally from Candle), but who's
doing the development now?
IBM disbanded their product development teams for SDSF, the entire
OMEGAMON suite (also originally from Candle), the entire Optim suite,
File Manager, Fault Analyzer, Tivoli Workload Scheduler (and related
products), Security AppScan, Transformation Extender, a bunch of
Rational products (Synergy & Change, Test Automation, BuildForge, Asset
Manager, etc.) and so many others it's hard to keep up any more. These
products are now partnership owned and developed by ISVs under
intellectual property and profit sharing arrangements. I suspect the
same is true of CL/Supersession. I just don't know who really owns and
develops it. If anyone knows for sure, please post to the list...
