SECURITY RESET (Clearing Security Validation Buffer) › SECURITY RESET › When to Use

When to Use

Use the SECURITY RESET function to clear the security validation buffer. Security maintains a working set of validated profiles. This set is dynamically changed and is periodically cleared. If an access is changed, this reset must be done to ensure instant revalidation. This work set should be done only when changes have been made in your external security specifications that might be in the working set and, therefore, it is critical for the set to be refreshed.

This function communicates with one Multi-User Facility. Be aware of the following:

• Ensure that DBUTLTY is communicating with the desired Multi-User Facility by executing DBUTLTY with the same System Identifier module (DBSIDPR) that is being used by the Multi-User Facility, and
• Ensure proper load library concatenation by keeping the System Identifier modules (DBSIDPR) in separate load libraries.

When using a console command, these steps are unnecessary.
