KOA Implementation Considerations

VTAM application programs (for example, TSO, CICS, IMS/DC, OMEGAMON) communicate using Logical Units. A Logical Unit (LU) is any item that is used to send information to, and receive information from, VTAM application programs. Standard examples of LUs are terminals and terminal emulation programs. The KOA facility initiates VTAM application sessions and communicates with VTAM applications as if it were a terminal. Therefore, KOA can perform any action that a terminal can perform.

For information on installing the KOA facility, see the INCONTROL for z/OS Installation Guide.
