Share Your ExperienceProduct Overview
The architecture of Multiterm/GCS is centered around several key components: the Session Manager, the VTAM Interface, the Terminal Interface, and the Configuration Manager. The Session Manager is the core component, responsible for managing multiple concurrent sessions and handling user commands. The VTAM Interface handles communication with the VTAM host, using the SNA/SDLC protocol to establish and maintain connections.
The Terminal Interface manages the interaction with the 3270 terminals, translating user input and displaying host output. The Configuration Manager provides a user-friendly interface for configuring session parameters, terminal definitions, and security settings. These components communicate through internal APIs and data structures.
The system does not use a dedicated database; configuration data is stored in flat files. Network requirements include connectivity to the VTAM host via SNA/SDLC and connectivity to the 3270 terminals. The system supports authentication via user IDs and passwords, validated against a configured security database.
Audit logging is available to track user activities and session events. The CLI and Configuration Manager are the primary administrative interfaces.
