Issue/Introduction

In the process of provisioning a secondary SMRT table, inadvertently did a RELOAD SMRT=SMRTNEW, (new table).
The impact is that no user can logon. How to back out this change without recycling TPX ?

Environment

Release : 5.4
Component : CA-TPX for z/OS

Resolution

From TPXOPER, initiate D TBLS.
This will display :

                               --------- TPX Tables -------
                                                           
                               TPX          Current           
                               Startup       Reload

 Security Action/Message:      TOPS   

Notice the 'TPX Startup' table.

To get back to the startup SMRT table invoke a RELOAD SMRT=[startup-table-name]
This will reinstate the table to original setup.

The only other option is to recycle TPX.
