How to generate a current list of SMRT options in TPX

Products

• TPX - Session Management

Issue/Introduction

The SMRT table is maintained in the ADMIN1 VSAM database.
It contains initialization parameters that are required at startup of TPX.
SMRT customization is frequently needed to maintain site usability and to address changing environments,
such as storage allocations, timeouts, user and application changes.

Environment

Release: 5.4
Component: TPX for Z/OS

Resolution

In order to get a quick summary of what is defined in the SMRT tables,
TPX provides an ACL that can be invoked by authorized users to generate screen prints of all SMRT panels.

This list can be used to review the parameters in the current SMRT table.
This can be helpful in debugging various conditions and also assist in day to day administration.
However, it is not suggested that this be used for any other purpose other than as a TPX administrative tool.

This ACL is provided in the ACLLIB dataset under the name SMRTPRT, and should be invoked by issuing the following command from the TPX Administration Menu (panelid TENV000).

                   <your command char>S SMRTPRT<command key>

Before attempting this, it is important to identify and note the CmdKey and the Cmdchar notations that are assigned before hand.
This is visible on the TPX Main Menu. See the example below:
________________________________________________________________________________________________

                      TPX MENU FOR      USER01             Panelid  - TEN0041 
                                                           Terminal - 
Cmdkey=PF22       Jump=PF23      Menu=PF21                 Model    -  
Print=NONE        Cmdchar=/                                System   -

1. Sign on to TPXADMIN.
   
   
2. At the SELECT OPTION,  type:  
                                                   /S SMRTPRT     then press the Cmdkey,     <<< (Important: DO NOT press the ENTER key
   
   Note in this example:
   CmdChar is ' / '
   Cmdkey is PF22.
   
   
3. The screens will switch between different views. Do not interrupt the ACL.
   
   
4. When no more screen swapping is observed, you may exit, PF3.

The generated list of SMRT options (screens)  will be appended to the TPX LOG dataset.
