• 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 CA TPX batch to update SMRT values?

Environment

Release: NVINAM00200-5.3-TPX-Session Management-Access Management package
Component:

Resolution

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

1. User and user session
2. Profile and profile session
3. 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 wiki, Administrating: Generic or Default SMRT.
