If BCAM is active in the guest system, logical consoles with sophisticated options for privileges can be used for system operation in guest systems.
A logical console is a user program in which a DCAM application is running that communicates with the $CONSOLE system application. When BCAM is active, it takes on console functions in a guest system (depending on the operator role).
Logical consoles can be set up, for example, using the software product OMNIS (see the “OMNIS/OMNIS-MENU” manual [12]). After a connection is set up to $CONSOLE (OPNCON TYP=UCON) with the specification of an operator ID, OMNIS controls the transfer of messages between the OMNIS terminal and $CONSOLE.
Logical consoles are connected via BCAM to the UCON task in the guest system. They can be used in VM2000 operation:
for operation in the monitor system and the guest systems
When BCAM is active, all operation can be carried out via logical consoles, i.e. all authorization codes (routing codes) can be put on logical consoles in the guest system. All BS2000 commands for operating the guest system can be entered via logical consoles.for operating the VM2000 system as a whole by means of a logical console in the monitor system (authorization code “9”).
