UIM and console architecture

The console and User Interface Middleware (UIM) Server provide a graphic user interface for BMC Software products. The UIM Server is a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) application that facilitates communication between client workstations and the mainframe. All communication between the console on the client workstation and the mainframe computer uses the UIM Server.

The UIM Server is an SMP/E installable component and is installed on the mainframe by using the Installation System. Once the UIM Server is installed, configured, and running, the console is downloaded and installed from the UIM to the client workstations.

The following figure describes the UIM Server and the console architecture in a sample environment.

Note

Depending on the console-enabled products that you have installed on the mainframe, the UIM Server can be installed on one system in a sysplex or on every system in a sysplex.
