What's new in 3.1

Edit online

The following new features were changed in CL/Super Session 3.1

Renamed KLV and KLU modules and their corresponding PARM members

  • To comply with IBM-wide single-CSI support, CL/SuperSession Engine elements have been renamed from KLVxxxxx and KLUxxxxx to KLKxxxxx and KLJxxxxx.
  • Most importantly, this means that any configuration parameters in your TLVPARM concatenation will need to be renamed appropriately, for instance, from KLVINNAM to KLKINNAM.
  • The Messages manual has been updated to reflect the changes to the messages.
  • Renaming these modules and eliminating duplicate member names enables clients to install CL/SuperSession or z/OS 3.1 in the same SMP/E zone as OMEGAMON and other products that use IBM CT/Engine.
  • Currently, CL/SuperSession or z/OS 3.1 must be installed in a separate SMP/E zone.

For more information, see Renamed KLV and KLU modules and their corresponding PARM members.

Unified HAO and non HAO dialog panels

  • Single-source HAO dialogs and non-HAO dialogs reduce duplication and streamline the HAO configuration.

A new format SYSTEM.ACCESS.TABLE

  • The SYSTEM.ACCESS.TABLE is a persistent table used to trace user access, fundamentally, for profile reporting.
  • Access to this data is available through two admin options: Unload SYSTEM.ACCESS.TABLE (to XML) and SYSTEM.ACCESS.TABLE console.

Table, profile, report unload and load utilities

  • A panel of features under the admin menu option [Table and Profile Utilities (P)...] replaces the legacy Profile Reporting (P)... menu item, which has been moved to the submenu. The following options are available:
    • Unload SYSTEM.ACCESS.TABLE: to convert the SYSTEM.ACCESS.TABLE.V3 to XML for offline viewing.
    • SYSTEM.ACCESS.TABLE console: to interactively view the SYSTEM.ACCESS.TABLE.V3 using various filters.
    • Unload NAF data for current runtime: to view and offload the cached Network Accounting Facility (NAF) records.
    • Unload user profiles (linear): to view and offload user profile information for offline review batch delete.
    • Unload sessions (linear): to view and offload user session information for offline review and batch delete.
    • Load sessions: to process modified linear data.
    • Load users: to process modified linear data.

For more information, see Profile Table administration tools.

Table load and unload using XML format

  • This feature gives users the capability to download profiles, profile reports, and system access data in XML format for viewing in Excel and other tools.

For more information, see Features of Profile Table administration.

Route NAF data to a table for real-time viewing, export, or both

  • Current captured data (VSHOW, HD, Access Table) is clumsy and subject to one-offs.
  • Real-time usage and accounting information can report without SMF or having to shut down the address space.

Provide standard SAMPLIB terminal mapping for CICS users

  • Improved customization efficiency and less customization means less migration cost and total cost of ownership (TCO).

Write USER messages to the TLVLOG, rather than STC messages only

  • Examples:
    • User abc signed on at terminal xyz
    • User abc is locked at terminal
  • Provides a record of user activity to help administrators troubleshoot problems
