CA IDMS as a Started Task

CA IDMS can be defined to CA Top Secret as a started task through the operations detailed in this section. Defining a started task to CA Top Secret results in the association of that STC with a specified ACID.

TSS CREATE(IDMSP) TYPE(USER)
                  NAME ('PRODUCTION IDMS')
                  DEPT(dept) FAC(STC)
                  MASTFAC(IDMSPROD)
                  PASS(NOPW,O)

• The ACID that is associated with the started task must be created with FAC(STC) to allow execution as a started task.
• The department must already exist.
• Protected data sets, and other resources that are to be accessed directly by the CA IDMS region, must be permitted to the ACID.
• If batch jobs are submitted from the region, attach the NOSUBCHK attribute to the Control ACID.

After the ACID associated with the started task has been created, the ACID must be added to the STC record through a TSS ADD entry. For example:

TSS ADD(STC) PROC(IDMSPR)
             ACID(IDMSP)

Note: This example assumes that the CA IDMS PROC name is IDMSPR. Any name can be used.
