Resolution

The following Intertest transactions need to be in the TRANID bypass list on the Top Secret facility associated with the CICS region where Intertest is running: IPLX, ISER, VTAT, LIST, and VIRC. 

- Use the following command to check your bypass list:

TSS MODIFY FAC(cicsfac=BYPLIST)

where 'cicsfac' is the facility associated with the CICS region.

- Use the following commands to add the transactions to your bypass list:

TSS MODI FAC(cicsfac=BYPADD(TRANID=IPLX))
TSS MODI FAC(cicsfac=BYPADD(TRANID=ISER))
TSS MODI FAC(cicsfac=BYPADD(TRANID=VTAT))
TSS MODI FAC(cicsfac=BYPADD(TRANID=LIST))
TSS MODI FAC(cicsfac=BYPADD(TRANID=VIRC))

If you wish to remove any from your bypass list, you will use the following commands:

TSS MODI FAC(cicsfac=BYPREM(TRANID=IPLX))
TSS MODI FAC(cicsfac=BYPREM(TRANID=ISER))
TSS MODI FAC(cicsfac=BYPREM(TRANID=VTAT))
TSS MODI FAC(cicsfac=BYPREM(TRANID=LIST))
TSS MODI FAC(cicsfac=BYPREM(TRANID=VIRC)) 

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

FAC(cicsfac=BYPADD(TRANID=IPLX))
FAC(cicsfac=BYPADD(TRANID=ISER))
FAC(cicsfac=BYPADD(TRANID=VTAT))
FAC(cicsfac=BYPADD(TRANID=LIST))
FAC(cicsfac=BYPADD(TRANID=VIRC))
