How can I tell if the CA TPX Mailbox option is active?

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 NW for the TPX Mailbox option. How can we verify whether we are using this option or not?

Environment

TPX 5.4

Resolution

With Mailbox LMP key (NW) active, you will see this messages in the TPX startup:

TPX9925 OPTION MAILBOX OF UNICENTER CA-TPX IS AUTHORIZED

When you remove the (NW) LMP key, these messages will disappear at the next restart of TPX after an IPL.

To see if any users are accessing TPXMAIL, search for TPXL0036 messages in the TPX log that indicate APPL TPXMAIL:

TPXL0036 12/01/08.336 17:16:19.75 ACB *INTRNAL SELECTED FOR USER USERX01 APPL TPXMAIL 2E6E7C7

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.
