Environment

Component : CA Top Secret for z/OS

Resolution

There are only two ways really to reverse the

F MODIFY FAC(xx) commands.



1)

As MODIFY changes are only temporary and for the life of the current Topsecret you can restart topsecret to remove your changes.

2)

Or take a note of the Value of the entry you want to change, before you change it.

Then you can just issue another F MODIFY FAC(XX) on the entry but setting it back to how it was before your change.
