The Record/Playback Feature › Record a Session

Record a Session

You can record any session that is available on your menu, except the View session or other restricted sessions. While recording a session, you can interact with the application session as you normally would. CA TPX records all input to the terminal and all output from the application. As the session is being recorded, you can also insert narrative text, which will be recorded along with the session input and output.

To record a session

  1. Enter a TPXVIEW session as you would any other session.

    The VIEW Facility Menu is displayed.

    If the Record/Playback feature is not highlighted, you are not authorized to use it. Contact your administrator for authorization.

  2. If you are authorized to use the Record/Playback feature, select option 4, Record/Playback from the VIEW Facility Menu.

    The Record/Playback Feature Menu is displayed.

  3. From the Record/Playback Menu, select option 1, Record Session.

    The Record Session Initiation panel is displayed, as shown in the following:
