Hello Tom, We are using CA-VTERM. I am not sure if BIM has anything. CA-VTERM is a non-VTAM z/VM multi session manager.
But it can be 1) used as console 2) As many sessions as you want. 3) keeps all sessions active 4) dials to any place you want 5) does terminals but has restrictions Ed Martin Aultman Health Foundation 330-363-5050 ext 35050 -----Original Message----- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tom Duerbusch Sent: Wednesday, March 10, 2010 6:17 PM To: [email protected] Subject: GCS Session managers Currently we are running TUBES/GCS session manager. Well, seems the company that took over Macro/4 is raising prices, as in double. So, we are now looking at other VM/VTAM session managers. Multiple TN3270 sessions really is going to be a hard sell. We have some users that have 10-15 sessions active. Also, we have some coax users.... So, what products are out there, that: 1. Can be used as VSE Consoles (i.e. dial vse 01f) and can support IPL'ing VSE systems. 2. Can switch between about two dozen sessions. 3. Can keep all the sessions active, if the PC/Terminal is disconnected. 4. Would be nice to do cross domain to VSE VTAM for CICS sessions. 5. Support 3270 Model 2 thru Model 5 terminals. A lot cheaper than $20K per year for Tubes/GCS. Thanks Tom Duerbusch THD Consulting
