17. Resource User Automation System Resource Manager • Private / Shared / On Demand VPARs • Automation • allocate VPARs on demand from VPARs pool • attach specified resources (like tape, osa) to a VPARS • pick up VPOPEN parameters from configuration file • dictate the commands to be executed in the VPARS • bring up the VPARS to a specific state (NORM, 1052) and keep it ready for dispatch Resource Manager

18. Client A Client B B A VPARs Pool Worker NORM State (product is not activated) Private Not Logged on Ready for dispatch Resource Manager: On Demand VPARs • Client A requests VPARs from pool • Worker A starts another worker • which brings VPARs to norm state, then disconnects • Worker A starts another worker • which gets another VPARs ready for dispatch, then disconnects • Client B requests VPARs from pool • Worker B starts another worker • which finds a VPARs that is ready for dispatch in the pool, so uses it • Worker B starts another worker • which gets another VPARs ready for dispatch, then disconnects V2 V2 V2 V3 V3 V3 V4 V3 V4 Legend V1 V2 V3 V3 V4 V5 V4 V6

19. Remote Resource z/TPF Server VPARS 3 zTTFSClient VPARS 2 zTTFSClient VPARS 1 Connectivity Manager • TPF-to-TPF Function Server (zTTFS) • provides access to remote resources • allows resources to be shared • Requests for remote resources are intercepted and directed through a z/TPF server that has the actual remote links or connections Connectivity Manager

20. Seeing the Big Picture It’s easy to miss the big picture when you work with pieces of the puzzle. The zTPFGI Suite puts features and tools at your fingertips that help you handle the big picture when developing for z/TPF.
