Define the IMS Message Region as a Batch Job

To define the IMS message region to CA Top Secret as a batch job, enter:

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

Notes:

• The ACID is created with FACILITY(BATCH) to allow execution as a batch job.
• 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.
• Code the USER=acid keyword on the batch job card, then submit the necessary JCL. A password may be desirable for batch submission of a message region.
