Define Applications to Application Connectivity

Using CA TPX with OfficeVision/MVS › Define Applications to Application Connectivity

Define Applications to Application Connectivity

To define applications to Application Connectivity, you must access the Application Connectivity Table Entry List.

To access the Application Connectivity Table Entry List

Select option 2, TPX System Options, from the TPX Administration Menu.
The TPX System Administration Menu is displayed.
Select option 7, OfficeVision/MVS Application Connectivity Definition.
The TPX Application Connectivity Table List panel, shown in the following, is displayed. This panel lists the Application Connectivity Tables already defined.
Do one of the following:
- To add a table, type S table-name on the command line, where table-name is the name of the Application Connectivity Table you want to add. Then press Enter.
- To modify an existing table, either type S table-name as described previously, or use the Tab key to move the cursor to the table you want, type S, and press Enter.
The TPX Application Connectivity Table Entry List is displayed, as shown in step 4. This panel lists the applications associated with the Application Connectivity Table that you selected.

In the following panel, the administrator is selecting an Application Connectivity Table named OVACAET.

Maintaining Multiple Application Connectivity Tables—You can maintain multiple Application Connectivity Tables, but only the table specified in the OVAC= parameter of the startup procedure is used by CA TPX. To use a different table, specify the new table name in the OVAC= parameter of the startup procedure.
Do one of the following:
- To add an application, type S application-name on the command line, where application-name is the name defined in the remote call ATD as the Application Name (described in Information Required Before You Start in this chapter). Then press Enter.
- To select an existing application, either type S application-name as described previously, or use the Tab key to move the cursor to the entry you want, type S, and press Enter.
The TPX Application Connectivity Detail panel is displayed, as shown in step 5. You use this panel to describe the application to Application Connectivity.

Remote Call Applications—Each application defined to Application Connectivity must be defined in OfficeVision Application Services as a "remote call." An application is defined as a remote call if you specified invocation type 2 in the application-type description record (ATD) for the application. For an explanation of remote calling and ATDs, see Managing OfficeVision/MVS Application Services (SH21-0520).

Press PF3 to save the application definition.
Repeat steps 1 through 3 of this procedure for each application defined as a "remote call" in OfficeVision/MVS.
You can put the new values into effect by issuing the following command in a TPX operator session:
```
RELOAD OVAC=table-name
