Find CICS Started Tasks Associated With A Top Secret FACILITY

Products

• Top Secret

Issue/Introduction

Facility CICSXXXX is defined in the Top Secret parameter file. How do you:

1) List the CICS started task regions that are being managed by this facility?

2) Include one more instance of CICS in this facility?

Environment

Release : 16.0

Component : CA Top Secret for z/OS

Resolution

1) To find the CICS started tasks that are being managed by this facility:

a) TSS LIST(STC) and find all the CICS started tasks and their associated acids. 
b) TSS LIST(acid) DATA(BASIC) for each associated acid and look for MASTER FAC of CICSXXXX.  

MASTER FAC = CICSXXXX

Any CICS regions associated with any of the acids with MASTER FAC of CICSXXXX are using facility CICSXXXX.

(You could also run TSSCFILE or TSSCFBK with the following:

TSS LIST(ACIDS) DATA(BASIC)

Record id 1000 in the output will show the MASTFAC on that acid (if there is a MASTFAC on the acid). Find the acids that have CICSXXXX in the 1000 record id.)

2) To include one more instance of CICS in this facility:

Define the additional CICS proc to the started task table with either an existing acid that has MASTFAC(CICSXXXX) or a new acid that you add MASTFAC(CICSXXXX) to. For example:

TSS ADD(STC) PROCNAME(cicsproc) ACID(acid)
TSS ADD(acid) MASTFAC(CICSXXXX)

Where 
‘cicsproc’ is the procname that starts the CICS region
‘acid’ is the acid you want associated with the procname (that has MASTFAC(CICSXXXX) )

NOTE: Users that are going to signon to this region will need FAC(CICSXXXX) if they don’t already have it. For example:

TSS ADD(acid) FAC(CICSXXXX)

Where ‘acid’ is the user’s acid, an attached profile, or the ALL record if all users should have access.
