How many submenus can I create in TPX using Tiered Menus?
There is a maximum of 35 submenus, or "flavors" of menu, that you can define.
The number of submenus is limited by several factors:
You can also have multiple submenus with only a few tiers. For example, you can have a structure that has menus only two layers deep (TPXTIER0 and TPXTIER1 ...plus the RETURN TPXTIERX) and one or more of these levels can contain multiple submenus.
Tier Lvl or Sessid | Owner Key | Member Key | Invisible | |||
TSO | TPXTIER0 | 5 | 0 | N | ||
TSO1 | sessid | Null | 5 | Y | ||
TSO2 | sessid | Null | 5 | Y | ||
TSO3 | sessid | Null | 5 | Y | ||
CICS | TPXTIER0 | 6 | 0 | N | ||
CICS1 | sessid | Null | 6 | Y | ||
CICS2 | sessid | Null | 6 | Y | ||
CICS3 | sessid | Null | 6 | Y | ||
SYSPROG | TPXTIER0 | 7 | 0 | N | ||
NETVIEW | TPXTIER1 | 8 | 7 | Y | ||
NETVIEW1 | sessid | Null | 8 | Y | ||
NETVIEW2 | sessid | Null | 8 | Y | ||
NETVIEW3 | sessid | Null | 8 | Y | ||
SYSVIEW | TPXTIER1 | 9 | 7 | Y | ||
SYSVIEW1 | sessid | Null | 9 | Y | ||
SYSVIEW2 | sessid | Null | 9 | Y | ||
SYSVIEW3 | sessid | Null | 9 | Y | ||
RETURN | TPXTIERX | Null | Null | Y |
The above table is based upon the example for Tiered Menus that is described in the CA TPX Programming Guide.
Note that only TPXTIER0 needs Invisible = N. All other tier levels and sessions in the submenu configuration should have Invisible= Y.
Tiered Menu support was introduced with TPX 5.3.
