Environment

TPX® Session Management for z/OS

Resolution

This Batchjob creates the desired list:

//<jobcard>
//STEP1    EXEC  <name_of_tpx>,VNODE='*BATCH*'                             
//EXTFILE  DD    DSN='aaa.bbb.ccc',DISP=SHR                      
//RPTFILE  DD    SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN    DD    *
EXTRACT GIVING(EXTFILE) USER AND ALL SESSIONS (UIDXNAME(--------))    
SET RTITLE1 ' USER     - USERSESS - ACB MASK '   SET RTITLE2 ' ==============================='   
REPORT GIVING(RPTFILE) 
USING(EXTFILE)       ((' &UIDXNAME' '-' ' &UENTUSER' '-' ' &UENTACB '))   
     
Take care of two points:
1. Specify 'aaa.bbb.ccc' as a dataset defined with FB and LRECL=2000 to be able to save the extraced record of ADMIN2.
2. Possibly specify a file with FB and LRECL=80 for the RPTFILE where the result is stored instead of specifying SYSOUT=*
   With SYSOUT=* the result is added into the Joblog of TPX.Result of executing this TPXBATCH-Job is the following list wherethe third column contains the name of the ACB Mask if one isspecified for the user.

Additional Information

When using (UIDXNAME(--------)) in the EXTRACT-Statement you get a list of all users. You can filter the users by specifying a more detailed mask for the userid's. For example when you specify (UIDXNAME(PHI-----)) only those users with an userid beginning with the string PHI are used for creating the list.
