TPX - Session Management Vman Session Management for z/OS

Issue/Introduction

We are considering removing the LMP key NP for the TPX ACL/E option. How can we verify whether we are using this option or not?

Automated Conversation Language/Extended (ACL/E) is a high-level programming language oriented to the 3270 keyboard. ACL/E automates routine interactions, such as application session signon and signoff, and provides powerful tools that enhance the way users see and use applications. For example, ACL/E works with the TPX panel manager to display alternate screen images. This capability serves a wide range of purposes, from supplying customized help panels for applications to re-engineering user interfaces for SAA compliance. ACL/E's ability to coordinate multiple application sessions provides state-of-the-art application integration.

Environment

Release: NVINAM00200-5.3-TPX-Session Management-Access Management package
Component:

Resolution

With ACL/E LMP key active, you will see this messages in the TPX startup:

TPX9925 OPTION ACLE OF TPX IS AUTHORIZED

When you remove the LMP keys, these messages will disappear after the next IPL. If you are not authorized for ACL/E then you have no scripting ability within TPX.  If you are doing any scripting at all, you would be using ACL/E. (For example: Application Start or Terminate ACL, etc.)

Additional Information

NOTE:  As of May 2017, 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 license.
