Issue/Introduction
I've reloaded a new ACT via TPXOPER (RELOAD ACT=xxx), where the ACT name is different from the startup ACT.

The new ACT contains a new application (xxxxxxxx), but after logging back on I still do not see the new application on my main TPX menu.
Environment
TPX® Session Management for z/OS
Cause
The TPX menu is built during user signon from sessions. Sessions point to applications in the ACT or directly to the VTAM applid.
Resolution
Your menu would not change unless this new application (xxxxxxxx) is connected to a session assigned to you when you sign on.
See TPX documentation for complete details, but TPX menu content will vary depending upon the implementation of TPX at your site:
- Sessions can be defined at the user or profile level.
- Profile selection method is specified in SMRT Security Parameters.
- Process is different for static and dynamic users.
The place where you would see that the new application has been added is in a D APPL command in TPXOPER:
