STEPLIB For Top Secret TSSSIM Until LU00747 Can Be Applied?

Products

• Top Secret

Issue/Introduction

LU00747 resolves a problem where the TSSSIM profile field that holds the profile name for a permitted resource is truncated to only 1 character. If LU00747 can not be applied right away, can you circumvent the problem by using a STEPLIB/JOBLIB to an alternate Top Secret load library?

Environment

Release : 16.0

Component : Top Secret for z/OS

Resolution

You cannot add the STEPLIB/JOBLIB in the TSSSIM batch job pointing to a Top Secret r16 load library that doesn't have SO15896 applied (or one that has LU00747 applied).

TSSSIM is going to make calls that go to kernel modules that are loaded in core at TSS startup. The RACROUTE calls issued by TSSSIM code will go to these modules and not any modules from libraries in the STEPLIB/JOBLIB.
