RESOURCE TYPE & NAME : OTRAN CEX2
A display of the facility (TSS MODIFY FACILITY(CICSTEST=BYPLIST)) shows the transaction CEX2 in the Bypass list so the security check for the transaction should be bypassed.

Why the security check for the transaction CEX2 is not bypassed and there is a violation recorded?
Environment
Release : 16.0
Component : Top Secret for z/OS
CICS TS 5.5
Cause
Transactions in the TRANID bypass list are for transactions that are started by a user by typing in the transaction from a blank CICS screen.
There is a PCT bypass list which is for transactions that are started/called from within a program (Like CEX2).
Resolution
Add the CEX2 transaction to the PCT bypass list using the following command:
TSS MODI FAC(facilityname=BYPADD(PCT=CEX2))
