Issue/Introduction

Description:

For better switching between active sessions I would like to have only the active sessions displayed on the menu.

I would also like to have a possibility of selecting the sessions like 'display only the TSO sessions' on the menu.

Solution:

There is no standard way to do this but it can be achieved with the TPX Command Exit in some way.

Please review the TPX Command Exit.
