CICS, IMS, and CA IDMS Native Security

Each of these facilities has its own native security that coexists with CA Top Secret in specific modes. In DORMANT mode, each facility has complete control over access through the native security available in that facility. In WARN and IMPLEMENT modes, native security and CA Top Secret can, in most cases, coexist.

CA Top Secret replaces CICS native security in FAIL mode. IMS and CA IDMS provide additional native security features; for this reason, CA Top Secret coexists with IMS and CA IDMS native security in FAIL mode, allowing further levels of control. Turn off the IMS and CA IDMS native security if this is appropriate for your organization.
