Issue/Introduction

If someone enters Q ALL from TPXOPER, this will quiesce all TPX applications including OPER.  How to reactivate TPXOPER after it has been quiesced?

Environment

CA TPX for z/OS

Resolution

There are three ways to enable TPXOPER after a QUIESCE has been initiated:

1. If any user has not yet logged off TPXOPER, they will be able to activate it and any other desired applications:
   • ACT ALL or ACT applid 
     
2. This console command can be used:
• F TPX,ACT ALL
  
3. If neither of the above is feasible, then cycling the TPX started task(s) will resolve the situation. The quiesce function is strictly a flag within the TPX storage. Once TPX is recycled it has a new address space and new storage.
