Virtual Terminals

When CA Verify for VTAM runs a test stream, it allocates virtual terminals for each terminal in the test stream. If you assign a specific virtual terminal when you log the test stream, CA Verify for VTAM uses that virtual terminal when it runs the test stream; otherwise, it uses either the same virtual terminal or a terminal from the same group of terminals as defined at installation.

If an application has terminal name or other terminal characteristic dependencies, assign a virtual terminal on the Terminal Log menu or when you edit the test stream.

Using virtual terminals saves system resources and doesn't restrict testing to the number of physical terminals available.
