CA TPX Application Variables (by Variable Name)

Variable Name

Field Name in Online Administration

Field Description

ACTACL

Start ACLPGM

The default session activation ACL program used to activate sessions to this application.

ACTAUT

Auto restart

Tells CA TPX whether to automatically reconnect to the application when the user's virtual terminal session with the application ends.

ACTBCPS

Start ACL prior to CLSDST PASS

If you specify Y and have specified that the application issues CLSDST PASS, the ACLPGM will be allowed to communicate with the application before the PASS.

ACTBMSG

 

Inform user of CD protocol error

Indicates whether CA TPX notifies a user sending protocol violating data from a non-SNA terminal that the data has been ignored. Specify Y if you've specified Y for Enforce CD protocol and want the user to know when data is ignored.

ACTBRKT

 

Enforce CD protocol

Specify Y to ignore data received from non-SNA terminals that violates protocol. Specify N if you don't want this data ignored.

ACTCLEAR

 

Sends first screen

Indicates whether the terminal user should wait for the application to send the first screen at session start time. Specifying Y indicates that the application is going to send the first screen.

ACTCOMP

 

Outbound compression

Indicates whether outbound compression is performed on this application. If you specify Y, CA TPX will do 3270 data stream compression on all data this application sends to the terminal.

ACTCPS

 

Issues CLSDST PASS

Indicates whether the application may issue a CLSDST PASS to another VTAM applid after the initial session to this application is established. Specifying Y allows CA TPX to recognize that the aspects of CLSDST PASS processing are normal and not error situations.

ACTCUSER

OPENGATE Control User

Specifies the user ID of the user who controls this application for OPENGATE processing.

ACTETEC

 

End-to-End option

Tells CA TPX when it should return the SNA response to the application when the application sends data. Options are:

ALL—wait for response from the terminal on every RU.

NONE—don't wait for the response from the physical terminal.

BB—wait for response from the terminal on any RU with Begin Bracket.

DR—wait for response from the terminal on any RU carrying the request for Definite Response.

ACTEXT

Extended data stream

Specifies whether the application has a terminal table indicating extended data stream support.

ACTGR

 

Generic Resource

Specifies whether the application is actually a generic resource name for a pool of applications. Setting this will cause CA TPX to take the APPLID from the network name control vector rather than the plu name field of the bind.

ACTINQ

Inquire on application status

Tells CA TPX whether to issue the VTAM INQUIRE APPLSTAT macro for this application.

ACTKEY

Session Key

Identifies a single PFkey that lets the user go directly to the application session.

ACTLABEL

Label

The up to 32 characters of description that appears on the
CA TPX menu for this application.

ACTLMOD

 

Pass Ticket prof name

Specifies the name to be supplied to the external security system during Pass Ticket generation for TSO and VM systems.

ACTMASKX

 

Masking done for security

Indicates whether masking has been established for security reasons. Specify Y to prevent session transfers if masking was specified in the application definition. Specify N to allow session transfers.

ACTMDL

 

Model sensitive

Specifies whether the application has a terminal table with specific terminal and model definitions. These applications require that the virtual terminal model types match the physical terminal model.

ACTMDT

Inbound compression

Indicates whether inbound compression is performed on this application. Specify Y to have CA TPX optimize inbound data.

ACTMODET

 

Mode entry override

Specifies the name of a particular logon mode table entry that CA TPX must use for this application. Include this value only for applications that require the use of a specific logon mode table entry name.

ACTMSK1

 

Mask entry name

Specifies the name of the virtual terminal mask that controls which virtual terminal CA TPX selects for the application session. You specify these masks on the Masking Rules Table.

ACTNAME

Application-ID

This is the APPLID name of the application that is being

defined to CA TPX.

ACTNVIEW

Disallow VIEWing on this appl

Specifies whether CA TPX prevents users from using any of the View facility features.

ACTOPT8

Ignore appl output for timeout

Indicates whether application output is disregarded when updating fields used for timeout checking.

ACTPTIX

Generate Pass Ticket

Indicates that a pass ticket is to be generated for this application during session initiation.

ACTQTIX

Gen Qualified Pass Ticket

Indicates that a Pass Ticket will be generated based on ACF2 or TOP SECRET qualified profiles

ACTRDBUF

 

Readbuf Technique

Indicates whether CA TPX reads the terminal controller buffer contents when the user switches out of the application session.

ACTSAVE

 

Keep virtual terminal

Specifies whether the virtual terminal should be maintained when the application session ends. Certain applications require the virtual terminal to be maintained and reserved for that session for security reasons

ACTSCRN

Screen even if readbuf technique

Indicates that a virtual screen image is maintained even though Y was specified in the Readbuf Technique field.

ACTSESS

Sessionid

The name identifying the session on the CA TPX menu unless it's overridden at the profile or user level.

ACTSGNL

 

Signal session switch

Used to inform network management and measurement products such as Net Alert when the user switches from one virtual terminal session to another. Specify a one- to eight-character identifier that will be used as the signal.

ACTSTRIP

 

Outbound stripping

Indicates whether outbound stripping is performed on this application. If you specify Y, CA TPX strips extended attribute bytes that are not supported by a physical terminal.

ACTSTUB

 

Substring

Used with applications that use CLSDST PASS. Specify a substring of characters from the application's minor APPL statements if those statements do not begin with the same characters as the major APPL statement. This substring must uniquely identify the application.

ACTSWOUT

 

Suspend background application

Used for applications that automatically update the application screen. If you specify Y and the user switches out of the session, CA TPX will inform the application that automatic updating of the screen should be suspended until the user returns to the application session.

ACTTACL

Termination ACLPGM

Specifies the default session termination ACL program used when sessions to this application are terminated.

ACTTOUT

 

Timeout Minutes

The number of minutes of inactivity that can pass before
CA TPX automatically terminates a session with this application.

ACTTYPE

 

Type (SHR,GRP,UNQ,
TPX)

Describes the application's virtual terminal requirements.

ACTUMAX

Maximum sessions

Specifies the maximum number of virtual terminal sessions that can be active in CA TPX at one time for this application.

ACTUVAR

USERVAR application

Indicates whether the application uses a VTAM USERVAR definition in lieu of the Extended Recovery Facility.

ACTXRF

XRF application

Specifies whether the application uses the Extended Recovery Facility.
