| As you have observed, there is not much in the way of technical support
for terminal server management. If you can demonstrate that this is
causing a business problem, the people to contact are:
JONATHAN (MEMIT::) LEWANDOWSKI
and for TSAM specific questions,
LAUREL (MOLAR::) NELSON

| 4996.2 | some answers | TOOK::CASSIDY | Linda, LKG2-2/BB10, DTN 226-7270 | Tue May 11 1993 11:19 | 21 |
| I can try to offer some answers...
1. In TSM there is a logical to handle the situation of remote console
connections over slow links. There is no parallel concept in TS AM. This
could be a suggestion for product management to consider.
2. There is no way for the TS AM get_char to read the maintenance password -
or any password, for that matter. Remember the get_char is "reading" a series
of displays about the server and translating them into commands. If it can't
read a password, it can't capture it. I think the get_char is supposed to
leave the passwords as they are. If that's not the case, it might set them to
their defaults. The documentation should tell you which is the expected
behavior.
3. The maintenance password should not be echoed when set - that's a security
feature. If the result of the set is wrong, that sounds like a bug.
4. If I remember correctly, there is no explicit 'show user' command. You can
issue the "show ts port all status" command to get the user information.

| 4996.3 | Futur release of TSAM? | BACHUS::FOLENS | | Fri May 14 1993 04:35 | 11 |

In TSM the logical is named TSM$USE_SERVER_TIMEOUT.
Will the TSAM use this logical when it is defined?
Will this functionaltiy ever be available in TSAM?
Apperently a set of the maintenance password fails, so this is
a bug. Will it be solved in a next release?
The show port status command doesn't provide all the info as with
the TSM show user command. There is no MCC command to see the
username of the port.

| You're right, TSM$USE_SERVER_TIMEOUT is the logical that enables slower
connections in TSM. This same method cannot be used in MCC because of the
way TSAM invokes TSM - it makes logical translation impossible. It would
have to be implemented as a new MCC logical.
I haven't worked on the project for a couple of years, so I can't answer
anything about future releases or bug fixes. I have seen the product manager's
name and mail address listed in another note - if someone can provide a pointer
then I would suggest contacting him/her.
As for the port username, I thought there was one command that would return
this info. If it is not SHOW PORT STATUS, then I don't remember what it is.

| 4996.5 | logical works with TSAM | BACHUS::FOLENS | | Fri May 14 1993 10:41 | 6 |
| After I've defined the TSM$USE_SERVER_TIMEOUT logical and restarting MCC
the getchar acroos the slow link worked ok. Seems that TSAM is
watching this logical.
