Thanks again for all the help. I tried putting CMS_VALIDATE=NO into the KDSENV member of my RKANPARU library on z/OS, bounced the TEMS, and re-tried the logon.
No Joy. So I installed the whole TEPS onto a collegues PC, in case I had done something wrong, and noted that NOWHERE did it prompt me for a password for SYSADMIN. So there is no LOCAL password set, when I sign in, TEPS is contacting TEMS to do password checking. I tried setting a password via NAM, but that didn't work either. So in desperation, I again pointed the TEPS at my other LPAR, with all the same results. I then added SYSADMIN as a RACF user, signed in to change the password via our session manager, then retried loadint TEPS desktop... It worked!!! However, all I see is the default workspace, with no data or anything. What else do I have to do? TIA I've set up some "real" z/OS userids in TEPS, so that I can delete SYSADMIN from RACF ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
