Issue/Introduction

Which LOGMODE TABLE is used for TPX Session Management sessions and where does that table reside -- in VTAM (NET) or TPX?

Resolution

TPX has its own LOGMODE table and does NOT use the IBM/VTAM logmode table. Please refer to the TPX Installation Guide - Chapter 4, Step 4, which is titled Copy the LOGMODE Tables to SYS1.VTAMLIB (pg. 4-14 thru 4-15).

Once the TPX LOGMODES have been included in SYS1.VTAMLIB, TPX will then use the LOGMODES in VTAM (SYS1.VTAMLIB).  TPX does not use the LOGMODES in the TPX LOADLIB. The LOGMODES are delivered in the TPX LOADLIB so that you can copy them (and not have to reassemble them) into SYS1.VTAMLIB. Refer to member LOGMODE in the TPX INSTALL library for JCL to copy the LOGMODES from the TPX LOADLIB to SYS1.VTAMLIB.

Naming Convention for the LOGMODE Entries

T327xMy - where	x = Type (8 or 9)
	y = Model Number (1,2,3,4 or 5)

Naming Convention for Extended Data Stream Devices

T327xMy - where	x = Type (8 or 9)
	y = Model Number (1,2,3,4 or 5)
