CA TPX batch - example - How to add and update an ACT

TPX 5.2 introduced the ability to use TPX Batch to update the Application Characteristics Table (ACT).

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.

//SYSIN DD *
C
C  ADD to ACT 
C                                                         
 ADD      ACTAPPL (ACTNEW  CCCCCCCC)                      
 UPDATE   ACTAPPL (ACTNEW  CCCCCCCC(ACTSESS(SESSIDC)      
                                    ACTKEY (04     )) )   

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

//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)
