CA TPX Application Variables (by Field Name)

Field Name in Online Administration

Variable Name

Field Description

Application-ID

ACTNAME

This is the APPLID name of the application that is being

defined to CA TPX.

Auto restart

ACTAUT

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

Disallow VIEWing on this appl

ACTNVIEW

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

End-to-End option

ACTETEC

 

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.

Enforce CD protocol

ACTBRKT

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

Extended data stream

ACTEXT

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

Gen Qualified Pass Ticket

ACTQTIX

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

Generate Pass Ticket

ACTPTIX

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

Generic Resource

ACTGR

 

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.

Ignore appl output for timeout

ACTOPT8

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

Inbound compression

ACTMDT

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

Inform user of CD protocol error

 

ACTBMSG

 

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.

Inquire on application status

ACTINQ

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

Issues CLSDST PASS

 

ACTCPS

 

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.

Keep virtual terminal

 

ACTSAVE

 

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

Label

ACTLABEL

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

Mask entry name

 

ACTMSK1

 

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.

Masking done for security

 

ACTMASKX

 

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

 

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.

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.
