Starting Your Product › Sign On to CA TPX

Sign On to CA TPX

After the Logo panel appears, you can sign on to the product. Enter the pre-existing administrative user ID, TPXADMIN, which has unlimited authority.

Note: If CA TPX is used exclusively to administer CA STX, use the STXADMIN user ID.

If your site has not loaded the administration files, you need to add the TPXADMIN user ID with the Batch facility. JCL in the TPXADMIN member of the TPX.CB0VSRC will add this ID to your administration files.

To sign on to an LU1 terminal, enter the user ID and password, separated by a slash (/).

After the product accepts and processes your user ID, the Menu panel appears as shown in the following sample panel:
