I want to disagree that multiple emulator sessions--even the best, and you all know what that is--substitutes for a proper external session manager. Even as a simple minded MVS sysprog, I have dozens of LPARs to deal with between prod and DR. I have 'only' TSO, SMCS, and OMEGAstuff to deal with. My CICS and Db2 sysprogs have dozens more regions as well. I maintain that there is no emulator that can sanely handle scores of concurrent logon sessions. There are a number of session managers to choose from, but outside of the simplest of SNA environments, I think you need something. I've used TPX for decades at different shops. Just choose something and go with it.
