Define IMS Message Region as a Started Task

To define the IMS message region to CA Top Secret as a started task, enter:

TSS CREATE(IMSMACID) TYPE(USER)
                     NAME('PRODUCTION MSG IMS')
                     DEPARTMENT(dept)
                     FACILITY(STC)
                     MASTFAC(imsfac)
                     PASSWORD(NOPW) (NOSUBCHK]

Notes:

• The ACID that is associated with the started task must be created with FACILITY(STC) to allow execution as a started task.
• The department must already exist.
• Because some IMS security processes may occur in the IMS message processing region, the MASTFAC keyword must be specified, and the facility “imsfac” must match the MASTFAC of the IMS control region.
• If the message processing region uses the spool interface to submit jobs, the message processing region ACID must have cross-authorization for any ACID used in the submitted jobs. To bypass this requirement, specify the NOSUBCHK attribute for the message processing region ACID.

Defining a started task to CA Top Secret results in the association of that STC with a specific ACID.

TSS ADDTO(STC) PROCNAME(IMSMPR)
               ACID(IMSMACID)
