SUSP—Control Suspend Mode

The SUSP entity controls whether suspend mode is in effect for the user or for a specific entity type.

If suspend mode is on for the user, no SAF checks are made and access to all entities is allowed. If suspend mode is on for a specific entity, then only calls for that entity are skipped and access to the entity is allowed.

The SUSP entity for user suspend mode has the following format:

SV.SUSP.system.userid
system

Specifies the SMF system ID.

userid

Specifies the user ID of the user.

If read access is granted to this entity, all SAF calls are skipped and access to all entities is allowed.

The SUSP entity for a specific entity has the following format:

SV.SUSP.system.entitytype
system

Specifies the SMF system ID.

entitytype

Specifies the type of entity.

If read access is granted to this entity, SAF calls for the entity are skipped and the access to the entity is allowed.

If the entity type is RESN, then SAF calls may also be suspended for a particular resource type by granting read access to:

SV.SUSP.system.RESN.resourcetype

Where resourcetype is one of the resource types listed in the Resources Section Detail display. For example, CATALOG,CPU, DEST, MVSCMD, and so on.
