Network Entry Points

A network entry point establishes an interface to a CL/SuperSession entry point dialog for physical terminal users. You can use an entry point dialog to make decisions about the user who is logging on. You might decide, for example, that one user should get multi-session access, another should get single-session access, and another should not be allowed any access at all.

When a user logs onto an application identified by a HOSTGATE command, the dialog identified in the command receives control. More than one network entry point can be defined in a single CL/SuperSession execution environment (that is, z/OS® address space). However, each must reference a unique VTAM APPL (known as entry point, entry point application, or entry point configuration).

You specify the CL/SuperSession entry point dialog in the HOSTGATE command in &rhilev.RLSCMDS (KLGCHGGW). By default, the entry point dialog is KLGATEWY.
