re: http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2014d.html#50 Can we logon to TSO witout having TN3270 up ? aka the "mainframe" started out batch/job centric ... while the various open, online systems started out being people centric the early mainframe "monitors" (like cics) attempted to implement person centric paradigm layer ... attempting to isolate it from the underlying mainframe batch/job centric paradigm. these monitors would do large block mainframe batch oriented resource allocation at startup and then make as little use as possible of mainframe system services in doing their own operation ... also one of the reasons that it took cics almost 40yrs to achieve multiprocessor exploitation The Evolution of CICS: CICS and Multi-region Operation (1980) http://web.archive.org/web/20040705000349/http://www.yelavich.com/history/ev198001.htm past cics (&/or bdam) posts http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/submain.html#cics -- virtualization experience starting Jan1968, online at home since Mar1970 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
