Using TPX batch to update SMRT values

Products

• TPX - Session Management
• Vman Session Management for z/OS

Issue/Introduction

I am unable to sign on to TPX and need to update SMRT parameters. (In this case, need to change TPX to allow mixed case passwords.) Can I use TPX batch to update SMRT values?

Environment

TPX® Session Management for z/OS

Resolution

No, TPX batch can only update the following record types:

• User and user session
• Profile and profile session
• Applications (ACT entries)

Additional Information

Depending upon the situation, some of these suggestions may be useful:

1. Sign on to TPX with the delivered TPXADMIN userid.  (Can be implemented with sample CB0VSRC(TPXADMIN).)
2. Start TPX with another SMRT with the SMRT= parm in the TPX PROC.  
3. Using the default SMRT (SMRT=*DFAULTY or SMRT=*DFAULTN) may be helpful.  See the TPX Documentation: Use the Generic or Default SMRT.
