The background to this question is that we have 95% of our VM users accessing the system via TCPIP TELNET sessions. However we have a handful of remote users still accessing us via SNA and efforts to convert these to IP seem to continually meet roadblocks.
For a number of reasons we want to remove VTAM from our main VM systems but we do also have a small 'server' system. Our idea is, as an interim solution, we route all SNA traffic to VTAM on the small server and then use a session manager on that server to allow users to access our main systems. (Load is very low - maximum 6-8 users at any one time - 200 users in total). However, if we do this we would like to make it as transparent as possible so I have some questions :- 1) Normally incoming terminal users use VSCS as the application - could this be a different application (say a session manager). 2) If we stay with VSCS, can this be set up to automatically 'dial' to a session manager userid 3) From the 'session manager' we would want to open a telnet session to another VM system 4) Are there any recommendations for free/cheap session manager (or tools with which to build one). The ideal would be for the SNA session to point to an application on the small server which would then, transparently, take the user over a telnet session to the target VM. I suspect that this is one step to far and they would, at least, have to make a selection from a session manager panel. Any advice/help would be welcome.
