Console simulator, multi-console management system and console management distribution system

摘要

A computer implemented system for simulating functions of a mainframe computer monitor console. A first central processing unit is in communication with a memory for storing of mainframe operator resonse messages from a mainframe operating system and for storing data representing status of said simulated mainframe computer monitor console. A second central processing unit is in communication with the first central processing unit. Operator input messages are inputed into the second central processing unit through an interface. A simulator engine stored in the memory and executed by the first central processing unit selects messages from the mainframe operator response message database; selects response messages that are unsolicited with respect to operator input messages; selects response messages from a random events list; and updates data representing the status of the simulated computer monitor console. A display connected to the second central processing unit displays the operator input messages and the selected mainframe operator response messages communicated from the first central processing unit.
