BYPASS—Bypass Resource Checking

Valid on z/OS and z/VM.

The BYPASS control option allows the MSCA to request emergency bypassing of resource checking for a specific ACID. Administrators must be given MISC9(BYPASS) authority to use this control option.

Note the following rules for use:

• BYPASS takes effect in all modes
• Up to ten BYPASS users can be specified in one or more options

This control option uses the MODIFY entry method.

This control option has the following format:

BYPASS(userid(1)[,userid(2),...userid(10)][ALL][RESET]

userid(n)

Represents the virtual machine userid for bypassed security.

ALL

Allows all virtual machines to bypass security.

Important! Use with extreme caution.

RESET

Terminates security bypass for all users that were specified to bypass security.

Examples: BYPASS Control Option

This example causes the virtual machine USER01 to bypass all resource security checking:

TSS MODIFY('BYPASS(USER01)')

This example terminates security bypass for USER01, and any other ACID that was specified to bypass security:

TSS MODIFY('BYPASS(RESET)')
