Explanation of Tiered Menu Design Example

To produce the menus, as mentioned in Example of a Tiered Menu Design, the following tasks need to be accomplished in TPXADMIN.

To define a menu in Tiered Menu Design

From the System Features panel (TEN0105) of the Systems Options Table (SMRT), set Allow tiered menus to Y.

It allows menu tiering to occur in TPX.

Create a session named TSO at the profile or user session level.
The screen displays the TSO session detail panel.

Set Applid/Tier LVL to TPXTIER0.

The “0” level of TPXTIER is the highest or main menu level.

The following list describes the Panelid for each session:

For a profile level session, the panel is TPX Profile Table Detail Panel (TEN0114).

For a user level session, the panel is TPX Userid Maintenance Panel (TEN0124).

From the final user or profile level session panel (TEN0127 or TEN0117), perform the following tasks:

Set the Owner Key to a unique value between 1 to Z.

Set the Member Key to the value of the Owner’s key (in this case, the Member Key is 0).

Perform the step 1 through step 4 for the other main menu entries which point to a submenu (CICS and SYSPROG).

Create the sessions for TPXOPER, TPXVIEW and AUDIT as normal application selection sessions.
Note: Set the Member Key value to 0 for the primary menu.

The main menu has now been completed.

To define the submenus

Create a session named TSO1 at the profile or user session level.

From the first screen of user or profile level session panel (TEN0124 or TEN0114), perform the following tasks:

Set Applid/Tier LVL to A01ITSO (the actual APPLID for this session).

Set Invisible to Y.

From the final user or profile level session panel (TEN0127 or TEN0117), set the Member Key to the value of the owner’s key in the TSO session (in this case, the Member Key is 5).

TPX Userid Maintenance Detail Panel Panelid - TEN0127 ç Command ===> Userid - SYSADMIN Termid - A11BU001 Userid: TIERTEST Session: TSO Date - 05/14/09 Applid: TPXTIER0 Time - 12:19:14 Profile Application System Defaults Defaults Defaults Tiered Menu Keys: Owner Key: _ _ è Member Key: 5 _ Generate Pass Ticket: _ _ _ Gen Qualified Pass Ticket: _ _ _ PF1=Help PF3=End PF4=Return PF7=Prev "CANCEL" cancel

Create sessions TSO2 and TSO3 each for APPLIDs, A02ITSO, and A03ITSO. Perform steps 1 through step 3.

Thus the TSO submenu is defined.

Now create the same types of sessions for CICS 1 through 3. Now 2 submenus are completed – TSO and CICS.

The final submenu SYSPROG contains two entries, NETVIEW and SYSVIEW.

To define NETVIEW session in SYSPROG

Create a session named NETVIEW.
In that session detail panel set Applid/Tier LVL to TPXTIER1.
The 1 level of TPXTIER indicates the next level of submenus.
Set Invisible to Y.
From the final screen of user or profile level session panel (TEN0127 or TEN0117), perform the following tasks:
- Set the Owner Key to a unique value between 1 and Z.
- Set the Member Key to the value of the owner’s key in the SYSPROG session.

To define SYSVIEW session in SYSPROG

To define SYSVIEW, perform the step 1 through step 4 as menitioned in defining NETVIEW .

The SYSPROG submenu is now completed.

To create the sessions for NETVIEW and SYSVIEW

Follow the same procedure for creating session in TSO1 through TSO3 and CICS1 through CICS3. Change the value of Member Key accordingly.

After all the sessions are defined, the final session Return should be defined.

To define Return session

Create a session named RETURN at the profile or user session level.
Set the Applid/Tier LVL to TPXTIERX.
The TPXTIERX session is automatically be added to all the submenu displays.
Set Invisible to Y.
Set the Label to Return to Prior Menu.

Thus, all the sessions mentioned in Example of a Tiered Menu Design are defined and the list of sessions appear as shown in the following screen:

The following table briefs the example. (It does not include TPXOPER and TPXVIEW.) This structure has menus only two layers deep: TPXTIER0 and TPXTIER1 plus the RETURN TPXTIERX.

Note:

You can have 36 different “flavors” of submenus. Each submenu must have a unique Owner key, which is a value 0-9, A-Z.
You can have submenus up to 35 levels deep. Submenu tiers (or menu levels) are indicated by the Tier Level TPXTIERx, where x is 0-9 or A-Z. A RETURN session/tier is also required and reserves the use of TPXTIERX.
Only TPXTIER0 needs Invisible = N. All other tier levels and sessions in the submenu configuration should have Invisible = Y.
