ABSTRACT:
A method and system for managing terminals in a network computing system in which a host computer and a plurality of terminals are interconnected via a front-end processor. The front-end processor employs a terminal manager to monitor its subordinate terminals and provide the host computer with terminal information of the terminals in session and an identification number of the front-end processor itself. A subordinate manager disposed in the host computer receives the terminal information and identification number from the terminal manager, and stores them into a subordinate information table for future reference in transactions with the terminals. The front-end processor has extended capability for managing the messages waiting for transmission services in a message queue. The front-end processor provides some functions such as inquiring the host status in advance, rearranging the transmission order, deleting invalidated messages, and redirecting messages to a predetermined alternative address.
