Refresh UID and GID Tables

During initial startup, CA Top Secret builds in-storage tables of UIDs and GIDs (and their related ACIDs). CA Top Secret automatically updates the tables in the following situations:

• A TSS ADD, REMOVE, or REPLACE command specifies the UID or GID keyword.
• A TSS DELETE command deletes an acid with a UID or a GID.
• The IBM getGMAP or getUMAP callable service assigns a UID or GID to a user or group acid.

If an error occurs during an automatic update, you can manually refresh the tables. A manual refresh rebuilds the tables with the current information from the security file.

To refresh the tables, enter the following command:

TSS MODIFY(OMVSTABS)

A message indicates that the operation was successful. The table refresh is complete.
