Abstract
A method includes receiving a start request from a client at a launcher application programming interface (API), determining whether an existing time sharing option (TSO) address space associated with a user of the client is available, retrieving security environment data associated with the user from a security product responsive to determining that no existing TSO address space associated with a user of the client is available, saving the retrieved security environment data as a security object, generating a message queue, generating a terminal status block (TSB) and saving the terminal status block, creating a TSO address space in a processor, sending an instruction to an operating system to start the TSO address space, and sending a message queue identifier associated with the message queue and an address space token associated with the TSO address space to the client.
