Issue/Introduction

Sometimes, it is necessary to know which TPX Release and Service Pack is running. This is important when checking compatibility with releases of z/OS or when reporting a problem to Broadcom's Helpdesk.

How to display which version/release TPX is running?

Environment

Release: NVINAM00200-5.4-TPX-Session Management-Access Management package
Component:

Resolution

There are three ways to find out which release and service pack TPX is running:

1. TPXOPER session

If you have access to TPXOPER, then logon to that session. In the upper-right corner you will see a string:

'*********** 5.4/00    TEN0200'

The string '5.4/00' represent Release and Service Pack of the TPX region (TEN0200 is the name of this panel.)

 

2. TPX Joblog

The TPX Joblog contains the message:

 TPX0007 TPX STARTING UP AS TPX54PRD , VERSION 5.4  LEVEL 00

This indicates the used release and service pack.

 

3. Logon screen

When using the standard TPX logon panel, in the upper right of the Logon screen, located right of the large letters 'TPX' this string: "REL 5.4/00". This tells you the release and service pack of the TPX region.

Note 01: Since version 5.4 was release in late 2013, early 2014, there has been no new release or levelset. It’s been 5.4/00 since.
To ensure the correct release / level display, make sure to have  PTF LU06465 on.

Note 02: Your installation might use a customized TPX logon panel not containing the release information.
