TPX Batch - example - Deleted Profiles still show up on TPX User Maintenance Detail Table

Products

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

Issue/Introduction

I deleted several profiles and recycled the TPX task.  The sessions no longer appear on our clients TPX menus but the profiles that I deleted still appear in the TPX User Maintenance Detail Table for these static users.  

 

Environment

CA TPX for z/OS

Cause

Deleting the profile will not remove that profile name from the individual user records.

Resolution

Since these are static users, you can use TPX batch command DELETE USERPROFILE to delete a profile from a user.

See Additional Information for a sample job.  The general steps are:

• Extract static user records 
  • EXTRACT GIVING(EXTFIL1) USER AND NO SESSIONS ( UIDXSTIC(Y) ) 
• Report before delete
• Delete the user profiles
  • DELETE USERPROFILE USING(EXTFIL1) ( profile1 ) 
    DELETE USERPROFILE USING(EXTFIL1) ( profile2 )  ...one stmt for each profile to delete 
• Report after delete
