Using CA TPX with OfficeVision/MVS › Define OfficeVision for Group and User Profiles

Define OfficeVision for Group and User Profiles

You must define at least one primary OfficeVision/MVS session for each profile or user that will use OfficeVision. You can define secondary OfficeVision/MVS sessions if necessary, although it is better to leave them undefined so that they will be added dynamically when a user selects an OfficeVision/MVS application that calls this session.

To define an OfficeVision session for a profile or user

1. Select option 1, TPX User/Group Maintenance, from the TPX Administration Menu.

   The TPX User/Group Maintenance Menu is displayed.

2. Select either Profile or User Maintenance.

   Either the Profile Table List or the Userid Selection panel is displayed.

3. Do one of the following:
   • If you selected Profile Maintenance, type S profile-name at the command line, where profile-name is the name of the profile you want to modify. Then press Enter. You can also use the Tab key to move the cursor to the profile, type S, and press Enter.

     The TPX Profile Maintenance panel will be displayed.

   • If you selected User Maintenance, type the user ID to the right of the prompt, or type a ? to get a list of user IDs and choose from this list.

     Important! Issuing a question mark (?) operand in the User Maintenance field to search all user records in the VSAM tables can cause system and storage related problems. This command causes CA TPX to search every record in the CA TPX database and can cause performance degradation on large complexes. Use a mask and/or set the Record Count Limit to avoid this problem.

   The TPX User Maintenance panel will be displayed.

4. Select TPX Sessions Options from either the Profile or User Maintenance panel.

   The TPX Userid Maintenance Table Entry List is displayed if you are working with a user ID.

   The TPX Profile Table Entry List is displayed if you are working with a profile.

5. Define the OfficeVision session.

   For procedural information on defining sessions, see Part 2 of this guide (the chapter "Introduction to User Administration" through the chapter "Maintaining Command and Self-Maintenance Class Tables"). For information on how to add a session to a profile, see Add or Modify a CA TPX Profile Session. For information on how to add a session to a user, see Add or Modify User Sessions.

   Notes:

   • When specifying the session ID, use the Environment name of an entry in the TPX Application Connectivity Table.
   • The application ID you specify must be the same as the one you specified in the TPX Application Connectivity Table.
6. Type a Y in the "OV/MVS ACT" field to indicate that this session is an OfficeVision/MVS Application Connectivity session.
7. If this session is a secondary OfficeVision/MVS Application Connectivity session, enter a Y in the "Invisible" field to keep CA TPX from displaying the session on the TPX Menu.

   A session is a secondary OfficeVision/MVS session if the user does not activate it from the TPX Menu.

8. Press the PF3 key three times to save the application session definition and return to the Profile Table List or TPX User Maintenance panel.
9. Repeat steps 3 through 6 of this procedure for each profile or user ID.

Notes:

1. For a primary OfficeVision/MVS session, you must specify the startup ACL at either the profile or user level. For a secondary OfficeVision/MVS session, specify the startup ACL in the "Start-up ACL" field of the Application Connectivity Detail Panel.
2. Secondary OfficeVision/MVS sessions are not inactivated unless the session times out or the primary session is inactivated.

   For secondary sessions, CA TPX uses the session timeout value of the primary session, unless you override the value at the profile or user level for the secondary session.

   If the primary session is inactivated, all OfficeVision/MVS sessions are also inactivated.

3. Values in the "Output Option" field for the session are not supported for OfficeVision/MVS sessions.
4. Do not specify a value in the "Term ACL" field for OfficeVision/MVS sessions at the user or profile level.
