Resolution

When you logon to one TPX and then to another TPX to get to your applications then there are different constellations possible to switch to the Main Menues of the two TPX's. The configuration is as follows:

+------TPX1 -----+   +------TPX2 -----+   + Application +
! Menu Key: PF23 !---! Menu Key: PF24 !---!             !
+----------------+   +----------------+   +-------------+

When you are working in the Application and hit PF23 you switch directly into the Main Menu of TPX1.
When you are working in the Application and hit PF24 you switch into the Main Menu of TPX2.

If you want to avoid that users get into the Main Menu of TPX2 you can soecify the SAME Menu Key for both TPX-Regions. Here is a configuration example:

+------TPX1 -----+   +------TPX2 -----+   + Application +
! Menu Key: PF21 !---! Menu Key: PF21 !---!             !
+----------------+   +----------------+   +-------------+

When you are working in the Application and hit PF21 you switch directly into the Main Menu of TPX1. Only users who are allowed to use Command 'w' can switch into the Main Menu of TPX2.
