SNA Connections for Terminal Access

If basic SNA connections can be established between the two systems and if the non-z/OS platform employs appropriate terminals, a terminal user connected to the non‑z/OS platform can log on to a VTAM application running on the z/OS platform.

This capability enables a terminal user to invoke the IOA/Control‑M Online facility by logging on to VTAM applications (such as TSO, CICS, IMS/DC, the IOA VTAM monitor, or any other VTAM application that supports the IOA/Control‑M Online facility). This method makes all of Control‑M’s tracking and control options available to the user.

For example, users of the following terminals can access VTAM applications running under MVS: DECnet, HP, AS/400, VM (through VM/VTAM), and VSE (through VSE/VTAM).
