How does CA TPX work with MASKING DONE FOR SECURITY: Y ?
Release : 5.4
Component : CA-TPX for OS/390
Any user who has an active session (has MASKING DONE FOR SECURITY: Y) cannot do a transfer of their TPX sessions to another terminal (device) or if the user disconnects from CA TPX, then reconnects to CA TPX on another terminal.
This is a restriction because of "MASKING DONE FOR SECURITY: Y" on application that is active.
Case Example:
User is set up for a timeout when the terminal is idle for a period of time and action is (/F - sign-off keeping session) and one of the active session has " MASKING DONE FOR SECURITY: Y" in the running ACT.
Then the user must reconnect from the same terminal or Replay "Y" to security question which will inactive those sessions with SECURITY MASK.
Another Case Example:
The user does /F (sign-off keeping active sessions), but opens I new TELNET window and access CA TPX. Thus a new terminal that is not the same.
The user is reconnecting and if the user has active session with " MASKING DONE FOR SECURITY: Y" then the user will be queried.
This is most likely configured because there is relationship between physical terminal id and logical terminal id within IMS.
