Products

• CA 7 Workload Automation

Issue/Introduction

Updating the CA 7 logon panel name is required for corporate rebranding or environment identification.

The TSO-ISPF and VTAM terminal sessions CA 7 Logon panel name needs to be updated or changed from '####' to '####'. 

This article provide the steps to update the CA 7 Logon panel name or heading to the new name in init file.

Environment

Release: 12.0, 12.1

Component: WA CA 7 Edition

Cause

Updates are required when a company undergoes rebranding or when multiple CA 7 environments need distinct identifiers on the logon screen.

Resolution

To update the CA 7 logon panel name or heading, modify the initialization deck and recycle the CA 7 task.

1. Locate the initialization deck member used by the CA 7 started task (typically found in your PARMLIB concatenation).
2. Search for the CUST statement. It must immediately follow the RESIDENT statement.
3. Update the ID parameter with the new name. Example: CUST,ID=#### NEW COMPANY NAME ####
4. Ensure no comments or extra spaces are added to the end of the statement, as all text following ID= is included in the display.
5. Recycle the CA 7 started task (CA7ONL) to apply the changes.
