Issue/Introduction

 When a transaction in the Bypass list and it is also permitted to an acid, which definition takes precedence, the BYPASS list or the permit on the acid?

 

 

Environment

Top Secret

Resolution

CA Top Secret will first check BYPASS list.

If on the list, the user will be granted access and no further security check will be done. This save CA Top Secret from doing a full security check which saves overhead and I/O.

If not on the list, a normal security check will be done to determine if the user has access to the CICS resource.
