Resolution

A FACILITY is not created or deleted regardless of the FACSTOR control option setting. 

The FACILITYs are in Top Secret from the moment it is installed

• Pre-named FACILITYs.... CICSPROD, CICSTEST, BATCH, STC IMSTEST, IMSPROD..etc...
• FACILITYs not reanmed yet.  USER11, USER12, USER13......upto USER221.

When users "create' a FACILITY, a USERxx is being renamed to a user defined site friendly name.

The FACILITY name is assigned to started task acid via MASTFAC keyword.

Example:

TSS ADD(JOESTC) MASTFAC(JOEFAC)

This is what is required for a FACILITY to be used.

The TSS MODIFY FAC(ALL) command will display all active FACILITYs.

A FACILITY is active when:

• It is assigned to a started task
• And that started task is up and running.

If the started task is not actively running, the FACILITY assigned to that started task will not show up in the output of the TSS MODIFY FAC(ALL) command.
