Terminal Control Facility


Terminal Control Facility (TCF) logs and saves information about terminal usage for months, even years. This makes TCF the ideal choice for system managers, users, auditors and others who want complete control of their HP Himalaya system and who wish to monitor and log incorrect and unauthorized use of the system. TCF works as an intermediary between the terminals and the HP Himalaya's command interpreter TACL. TCF will survey and log all communication between the terminal/user and the command interpreter.

Features of TCF:
  • Terminal Surveillance
    Users can monitor who is logged on, and I/O to and from the terminal.
  • On Demand Sessions
    Sessions created via TCP/IP and Multilan can be monitored.
  • Static Sessions
    The control and monitoring of static terminals such as the Pathway terminal, or permanently defined TACL terminals.
  • Terminal Operations
    Start and abort as well as forced autologoff of terminals.
  • Hometerm Emulation
    His allows applications that use terminal or console devices for event and error message reporting to be logged to TCF, with the option of logging those messages as EMS events. The TCF monitor emulates various physical devices such as the Compaq Himalaya 6530 console.
  • Terminal Operations
    Start and abort as well as forced autologoff of terminals.
  • Autologoff Inactive Terminals
    Can be defined to individual user level or group level.
  • Broadcast
    Allows the user to broadcast messages between specific users or terminals.
  • Reports
    Various reports can be produced, using the TCF logfiles, including users, terminals, time, commands and responses.
  • Logging User Activities
    User activity is logged by following a defined user profile. This is important to most HP Himalaya users, not only to those responsible to DP departments but also to ordinary users, in order to prove exactly what has been accomplished after a user such as Super.Super has been logged on. TCF logs the following information:
  • Date/time
    User name
    Terminal name
    Subsystems and programs that the user is using
    User commands
    The program and subsystem responses
