z/TTFS
z/TTFS (TPF-to-TPF Function Server) allows the TPF programmers to connect the Client VPARS/TPF test systems with Server VPARS/TPF test system.

CLIENT-SERVER COMMUNICATION ENVIRONMENT
z/TTFS acts as a connectivity management tool to control inbound and outbound message traffic across z/TPF systems.
z/TTFS provides virtual connectivity and enables TPF programmers in test mode to access remote resources. It allows the programmers to communicate with Server VPARS – which has access to the network, without requiring any special scheduling of the physical resource (Remote Link or Remote Connection), and changing the test systems. Share critical network resources across multiple systems with z/TTFS optimizing your z/TPF installation using fewer VPARS with physical connectivity.
Features and Benefits
- Integrated GUI interface with z/TPFGI
- Uses client-server architecture to provide connectivity.
- End-users don’t have to compete for VPARS test systems that have connectivity.
- z/TPF installations with z/TTFS can provide N number of client VPARS test systems with unlimited external connectivity, without attaching to any physical network.
- Easy customizable with user APIs, and easy to implement.
- Shares critical network resources available in server VPARS across multiple client VPARS.
- z/TPF installations can operate with fewer VPARS with physical connectivity.
- Eliminates the need to switch remote links or connections between test systems.
- User exits provided for customization.
