How can I tell if we are using the CA TPX Passthrough Print (PPS) option?

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 planning to remove the LMP key O3 for the Pass Thru Print Support (PPS) option. How can we verify whether we are using this option or not?

Environment

TPX 5.4

Resolution

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

TPX9925 OPTION PPS OF UNICENTER CA-TPX IS AUTHORIZED

When you remove the LMP keys, these will disappear after the next IPL. 

To see if you have Passthrough print tables set up, check TPXADMIN: -select option 2, TPX System Options. -select option 5, User Passthrough Print Management.

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.
