Issue/Introduction

Installing Top Secret on new system.

 

TCPIP wont come up because they need to create an started task acid with an OMVS segment for it.

 

Since TCPIP is not up, he cannot logon to TSO to submit batch jobs.

 

How can you create acids if you cannot logon to TSO?

Environment

Release : 16.0

Component : CA Top Secret for z/OS

Resolution

Options,

1. If z/OS is running under z/VM as a mini system, submit a job from CMS to the z/OS mini system to create the TCPIP started task acid.

2. If RJE is setup and connect to another z/OS, submit a batch job to create the acid from the remote system.

3. Create an acid from the console. Example:

tss,tss
nn,mscapassword
nn,tss create........
nn,end

'nn' is the reply id.

Sample TSS commands to create a department acid, GROUP acid and started task acid:
1. Create a department acid.
2. Create an OMVSGRP
3. Create a userid

Please substitute the preferred department acid and the acid name

TSS CREATE(deptacid) NAME('department_acid ') TYPE(DEPT)
TSS CREATE(OMVSGRP) NAME('OMVSGRP') TYPE(GROUP)
TSS ADD((OMVSGRP) GID(nn)

'nn' is the GID of your choosing.

TSS CREATE(TESTACID) NAME('TESTACID ') TYPE(user) PASS(password)
DEPT(dept)
TSS ADDTO(TESTACID) GROUP(OMVSGRP) DFLTGRP(OMVSGRP) UID(0)
TSS ADDTO(TESTACID) HOME('/xxxxx') OMVSPGM('/xxxxx') FAC(STC)
TSS PER(TESTACID) ........

Substitute:

'/xxxxxx' is the preferred directory.

'TESTACID' is the preferred acid.

TSS ADD(STC) PROCN(procname) ACID(TESTACID)

Substitute 'procname' with the TCPIP started task.
