Mainframe Division: Docs Console Management
SPI/DOCS is a VSE console management system which
includes features to assist in automating data center operations.

consolidate console management in a single system image. This powerful
feature gives access to all VSE guest machines and to CP from a
single console.

provided in VSE/ESA. This includes the use of the normal
