System Shutdown Order With Top Secret End Of Day

Products

• Top Secret

Issue/Introduction

When using an automation tool (AT) to pilot our system, what is the order to shutdown the operating system at the end of day (for IPL)?

Resolution

The consensus is what follows:

If you don't want the $$$LOG$$ file, shutdown JES, Top Secret and then the AT (Automation Tool). This is with OPTION(78) active in Top Secret.

If the AT gets violations being shutdown last, then the order to shutdown should be: JES, the AT and then Top Secret . The AT may cause a security check to occur and Top Secret was no longer up. So, you need to shut it down before Top Secret. If SA390 didn't cause a security check to occur, then it could be shutdown after Top-Secret.

If you want the $$$LOG$$ file, then the shutdown order should be: Top Secret, JES, and then the AT.

If the AT gets violations with this order, shutdown the AT first, Top Secret, and then JES, because the AT is causing a security check to occur and Top Secret needs to be up to process that check.
