Executing the terminal monitor program z/OS TSO/E Customization SA32-0976-00 |
|
The terminal monitor program (TMP) provides an interface between
the user, command processors,
and the TSO/E control program. It obtains commands, gives control
to command processors,
and monitors their execution. The TMP is attached
as APF-authorized and executes in either supervisor state or problem
program mode. The TMP entry points (IKJEFT01, IKJEFT1A, and IKJEFT1B)
can only be invoked in one of the following ways:
When you log on to TSO/E, the TMP is invoked from your logon procedure. You can also execute the TMP in the background by submitting JCL. Executing the TMP in the background allows you to execute TSO/E commands independent of the terminal, which is convenient if a job takes a long period of time to execute. It is also a useful way to perform certain customization tasks, such as maintaining the UADS and broadcast data sets. This appendix describes the JCL statements that are required to execute the TMP in the background. As an alternative to writing JCL statements, you can use the SUBMIT command to generate the JCL needed to execute commands in the background. See z/OS TSO/E User's Guide for more information. |
