Access Operation

Facilities defined in the CA Top Secret Facility Matrix Table default to FAIL mode. To avoid locking users out, an CA Top Secret administrator can edit the Parameter File and change the MODE parameter to DORMANT prior to starting or restarting CA Top Secret. The syntax for making this change is:

FACILITY(TSO=MODE=DORM)
