How can I tell if we are using the ADC option of CA TPX? (Advanced Data Compression)

Products

• TPX - Session Management
• Vman Session Management for z/OS

Issue/Introduction

CA TPX uses CA Common Services LMP keys to activate the various components of CA TPX.

We are considering removing the LMP key O0 for the TPX ADC option. How can we verify whether we are using this option or not?

Environment

TPX 5.4

Resolution

With ADC LMP key active, you will see this messages in the TPX startup: 

TPX9925 OPTION ADC OF UNICENTER CA-TPX IS AUTHORIZED

To check ADC, issue the "D STATS" command in TPXOPER and then PF11 (right). The last column is compression percentage. If this is empty for all applications then no compression is occurring.

NOTE:  As of May 2017, CA TPX Portfolio Simplification of GA base and option SKUs means that customers should be able to obtain all CA TPX LMP codes as part of their licence.
