3. Where We Are: Seeing the Big Picture
It’s easy to miss the big picture when you work with pieces of the puzzle
Likewise, when you think about products and features, it’s easy to miss the big picture about TPF Software tools

APM Server (daemon)
Security--User validation
Worker machines
On-demand resources
Debugger
Shared Memory Management
Shared storage between workers
Reduces VM paging
Fast IPL or Startup Management
TPF Simulator
CPU Management
Use CPU only when transactions are running
No CPU usage during idle state

7. VM/CMS High-Level Flow
User connects through TPF/GI
APM Server starts worker machine
ACF/RACF Logon is verified
The system is loaded using Shared Memory
During testing, CPU Manager minimizes use of CPU
Provides cost savings
User disconnects
APM Server disposes of worker machine automatically

8. Why Travel? QUESTION: Why not keep things the same?
Why not stay in the “same place” and keep enhancing the Test Management System?

9. Why Travel? TWO ANSWERS: Customers are moving to zTPF
zTPF requires major changes to the base TPF product
This requires major changes to the kernel of TPF Software’s test management system
TPF as an operating system is more stable
Because of this, we can rebuild the kernel and potentially serve more TPF users

24. Assumptions

25. TPF Assumptions
Network
Customer must have automation to bring zTPF to NORM state
Customer must have an IP address defined for that zTPF
When zTPF comes up TSS (TPF Software Infrastructure Services) will automatically be activated
TSS would read the System Configuration
TSS will bring up products that are defined for that zTPF
Both TPF Debugger and our debugger can run at the same time
zTPF in Norm State
TSS
TPF Debugger
DFExp
zTPF/GI

26. ü ü ü ü zVM Assumptions zVM Customer must install APM Server
Customer must define Worker machines
Customer needs to allocate unique Terminal Addresses for each user (user exits available – and will be called when the USER CONFIG file is being read)

27. TPF Control Program Changes
We are using the standard IBM user-exits
We will ship E-type code and C-type code
C-type code will plug directly into IBM exits
E-type code will be our kernel and software

28. Loading Programs and Testing

29. If You Use TPF/Toolkit for Development…
Programs must be moved to VPARS so they can be loaded
Edit, Compile, Transfer
This is customer responsibility
Path for Source
Customer provides source path info through the Compiler or through Worker User Exits
zTPFGI will have functions to
Display programs loaded by user
Load a program for a specific user
Fallback a program for a specific user

30. If You Use TPF/IDE for Development

zTPFGI will have functions to
Display programs loaded by user
Load a program for a specific user
Fallback a program for a specific user

Version 2
Faster startup or IPL
Shared Segment Management
Version 3
CPU management
Private VPARS for each user 1 2 3

32. Beyond zTPF: Other Exciting New Platforms for TPF Software products…

33. TPF/GI iPhone Edition
