Issue/Introduction

This describes how to turn on and off a security debug trace in memory via TPXOPER.  TPX Session Management authority (allowing update to memory function) is required to perform this task.

 

Resolution

To turn on the Security Debug Trace:

1. Go to TPXOPER, which should be a session on your Unicenter CA-TPX Session Management menu.
2. At the TPXOPER command line, enter: D MEM,AREA=SMRT and hit enter.
3. Page forward to offset line 0C50
4. On the 0C50 offset line, move your cursor to the 2nd word - location 0C54
5. Change positions 1 & 2 from '00' to '78'. Hit PF9 to make the update.
6. At this point, the Security Debug Trace is turned on.

Note: This trace is not specific to any userid; thus, all userids signing on to Unicenter CA-TPX Session Management from the time the trace is started to the time it is turned off will be included in the trace.

To turn off the Security Debug Trace:

1. Go to the TPXOPER command line.
2. At offset 0C54, change positions 1 & 2 from '78' to '00' and hit PF9 to make the update.
