Issue/Introduction

I have a request from my Security team to have the Production TSO selection from my TPX Menu to be in another color from the others (possibly red) and blinking.

And after the Prod TSO is selected, can the actual TSO session have flashing text?

Can we customize a CA TPX session with color or blinking letters on the TPX menu?

Environment

Release: NVINAM00200-5.4-TPX-Session Management-Access Management package
Component:

Resolution

Since we build the TPX menu (TEN0041) dynamically using the panel )MODEL statement, we have no way to customize the type of text used for one session or another.

 

Alternate suggestions:

-Specify a label that makes the session stand out from other session descriptions on TEN0041.

-Also specify Menu Order 001 so that the session is first.

                      TPX MENU FOR      USER001            Panelid  - TEN0041
                                                           Terminal -
Cmdkey=PF22       Jump=PF23      Menu=PF4                  Model    -
Print=NONE        Cmdchar=/                                System   -
 
   Sessid      Sesskey       Session Description            Status 
 _ TSOP        PF            >>>>> TSO PROD <<<<<<<<<<
 _ TPXADMIN    PF 5          TPX Administration
 _ TPXOPER     PF 6          TPX Operator

As for the TSO/ISPF menus, that would need to be done within the panels or coding for that product.
