The services of the BS2000 software product OMNIS can be used for UTM applications on BS2000 systems. OMNIS is a Session Manager that enables a terminal user to call the services of various UTM applications directly, even if the UTM applications are distributed in the network. In this case, the terminal user need not know the processor nor the UTM application in which the service is located. OMNIS automatically establishes a connection to the “correct” UTM application and controls the assignment of messages (message distribution).
When implementing OMNIS, you can also use the multiplex function provided by openUTM on BS2000 systems: a large number of terminals can be connected to a UTM application via a small number of transport connections.
