   FAC(facilityname=FACMATRX=YES)
   FAC(facilityname=EXTSEC=YES)
   
   Issue a:
   
   TSS MODIFY FAC(facilityname=FACMATRX=YES)
   TSS MODFY FAC(facilityname=EXTSEC=YES)
   
   to make the changes dynamically.
   
   Note: Changes through the TSS MODIFY are temporary and are reset after an IPL or recycle of CA Top Secret.
   
   
2. If FAC(facilityname=FACMATRX=NO) is set, specify "SEC=YES" in the CICS SIT.
