TPX - Session Management

Issue/Introduction

When installing/upgrading TPX to the newest version 5.5, is TPXADMIN id required or can a personal user id be used in case it already has admin privileges? 

Environment

Release: 5.5

Component: TPX for Z/OS

Resolution

The TPXADMIN ID serves as an initial access point for users who do not yet have administrator authority. TPXADMIN ID can be used to grant admin access to other users, who can then handle TPX administration tasks.

Please note that a preexisting TPXADMIN ID is not required for the TPX 5.5 installation. The process can be completed by any system programmer or administrator with the appropriate privileges. If the current IDs already have admin capabilities, no further action regarding the TPXADMIN ID is necessary.
