Issue/Introduction

 An acid was modified to allow Execute access to a transaction.  The ACID executed the transaction and failed.  The acid shows a violation for not having Execute Authority to the transaction.

Should an ENF Type 71 Signal have been sent?

Environment

Release : 16.0

Component : CA Top Secret for z/OS

Resolution

CA Top Secret immediately sends an ENF TYPE 71 RACF SIGNAL to CICS    
when a security administrator makes the following changes:
                   
* Suspends a signed-on remote user or a signed-on user who is not directly    
  using a physical terminal or console.  
                                     
* Adds or removes the profile for a signed-on remote user or a signed-on      
  user who is not directly using a physical terminal or console.
             
When the profile addition or removal occurs and CICS receives a new attach    
request for a user ID, CICS performs an implicit signon for the user ID and    
uses the new profile information. Existing tasks for the user continue with    
the profile that was valid when the task was attached.
                       
* Deletes a signed-on remote user or a signed-on user who is not directly      
  using a physical terminal or console.   

 

 

Since a task access level was changed to an acid that was signed on a refresh would be necessary:
TSS REFRESH(acid) JOBNAME(*)

Changing the access level of a task does not invoke a ENF Type 71 Signal.
