Issue/Introduction

What are the steps to define a facility in Top Secret for RDz and give this to users?

Resolution

- The following is an example to define a new FACILITY for the RDz address space.

TSS MODIFY FACILITY(USERn=NAME=RDZ) where n is an unused number in your system.
TSS MODIFY FACILITY(RDZ=MODE=FAIL)
TSS MODIFY FACILITY(RDZ=PGM=BPX)
TSS MODIFY FACILITY(RDZ=...)

where '...' is any other FACILITY control options that you want to override the default settings.

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

FACILITY(USERn=NAME=RDZ)       
FACILITY(RDZ=MODE=FAIL) 
FACILITY(RDZ=PGM=BPX)
FACILITY(RDZ=...)

- After you define the FACILITY in the Top Secret parameter file, issue:

   TSS ADD(regionacid) MASTFAC(facilityname)

to associate the FACILITY with the region.

- All users using the FACILITY will need to be authorized to that FACILITY in order to signon. Example:

   TSS ADD(acid) FAC(facilityname)

where 'acid' is the user acid, an attached profile, or the ALL record, if all users need access.

The started task will need to be recycled after adding the MASTFAC in order for the changes to be picked up.
