Products

Issue/Introduction

How do you define a new CICS facility to Top Secret so the CICS DFHSIT (System Initialization Table) security parameters instead of the Top Secret FACILITY suboptions?

Environment

Release : 16.0

Component :

Resolution

TSS MODI FAC(USERnn=NAME=facname)
TSS MODI FAC(facname=TYPE=CICS)
TSS MODI FAC(facname=FACMATRX=NO)

TSS ADD(cicsstc) MASTFAC(facname)

where:
'USERnn' is an user defined facility not currently in use
'facname' is the name of the facility
'cicsstc' is the started task ACID for the CICS started task

The TSS MODIFY command is only valid until the next recycle of Top Secret. To make the changes permanent, add the corresponding FAC statements to the Top Secret parameter file:

FAC(USERnn=NAME=facname)
FAC(facname=TYPE=CICS)
FAC(facname=FACMATRX=NO)
