How can I tell if we are using the CA TPX View option?

CA TPX uses CA Common Services LMP keys to activate the various components of CA TPX.

We are considering removing the LMP key NZ for the TPX View option. How can we verify whether we are using this option or not?

With View LMP key active, you will see this messages in the TPX startup:

TPX9925 OPTION VIEW OF UNICENTER CA-TPX IS AUTHORIZED

When you remove the LMP keys, these messages will disappear after the next IPL.

To see if any users are accessing TPXVIEW, search for TPXL0036 messages in the TPX log that indicate session TPXVIEW:

TPXL0036 12/01/08.336 17:16:19.75 ACB *INTRNAL SELECTED FOR USER USERX01 APPL TPXVIEW 2E6E7C7

NOTE:  As of May 2017, CA TPX Portfolio Simplification of GA base and option SKUs means that customers should be able to obtain all CA TPX LMP codes as part of their licence.

Refer to the TPX Systems Programmer Guide, Special Features and Customization Tasks, for complete details on using the View facility:  TPX 5.4 View Facility
