Products

• TPX - Session Management
• Vman Session Management for z/OS

Issue/Introduction

TPX Batch Administration can be used to add applications or update existing applications in the Application Characteristics Table (ACT).

Environment

TPX 5.4

Resolution

This example will add application 'CCCCCCCC' to ACT 'ACTNEW'.

• If ACTNEW does not already exist, it will be created.

Then use UPDATE to set the specific application values.

Example JCL:

//BATCHADM  EXEC <YOUR TPX PROC>,VNODE='*BATCH*'    
//EXTFILE  DD    UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(CYL,(1,1))
//RPTFILE  DD    SYSOUT=*
//*
//* ADD      ACTAPPL (ACTZA CCCCCCCC)
//* UPDATE   ACTAPPL (CCCCCCCC(var(value)) )
//* UPDATE   ACTAPPL (ACTNEW CCCCCCC(ACTSESS(SESSIDC)) )
//*
//SYSIN DD *
C
C  ADD to ACT >>> CHANGE THIS EXAMPLE TO ADD & MODIFY ACT
C
 ADD    ACTAPPL (ACTNEW A01ITSO)
 UPDATE ACTAPPL (ACTNEW A01ITSO
       (ACTSESS(TSO1)
        ACTSAVE(Y)
        ACTMSK1(MGV30)
        ACTTYPE(SHR)
        ACTCPS(Y)
        ACTLABEL('TSO PRODUCTION SYSTEM')) )
//

Alternatively, you can copy an existing ACT Session to create one or more new sessions in the same or another ACT.

Below session CICSB is being copied from ACT ACTGV01 to ACT ACTGV02 as CICSA, B and C.

//SYSIN DD *
C
C  COPY to ACT ACTGV01 Session CICSB to new sessions  
C                                                         
 COPY    ACTAPPL  ACTGV01 CICSB  TO (ACTGV02 CICSA 
                                     ACTGV02 CICSB 
                                     ACTGV02 CICSC)
