MIGRATION QUESTIONS FOR TPX 5.4

Products

• TPX - Session Management

Issue/Introduction

Customer was in the process of installing TPX 5.4. They had 2 questions:

 

1. CSM was used to install the product. Customer noticed that the trace data set is needed for   TPX

startup--but the documentation to allocate and format the trace data set was not found.       JCL is in

member TPXTRFMT.

 

2. As far as migration from 5.3 to 5.4 is concerned: If customer copied the             5 VSAM data sets

(ADMIN1-ADMIN2-MAIL-NOTES-VIEW) from 5.3 to the newly created 5.4 data sets then the values

would be carried over. Is there a need to do things like taking screen prints of each SMRT    panel in

the 5.3 release and compare them to the values in the new release?
