How to update ACT entries without restarting TPX

Environment

TPX® Session Management for z/OS

Resolution

When doing updates for an application in the ACT there are a couple of fields which cannot be updated dynamically by reloading the ACT. These are:

  • Type (SHR, GRP, UNQ, TPX)
  • Keep Virtual Terminal
  • End-to-End Option
  • Readbuf Technique
  • Screen Even if Readbuf Technique
  • Inbound Compression
  • Opengate Control User
  • Load Module Name

You can recognize these fields by the missing asterisk '*' in front of them. Any changes you make to these fields become effective by restarting TPX. If you do not want this to do then you can follow these steps:

  1. Save the changes done in the ACT entry for the application
  2. Let all users log off that application
  3. Quiesce the application using TPXOPER command "Q <applid>"
  4. RELOAD ACT=<act-table>
  5. Activate the application again using TPXOPER-command "ACT <applid>"
