Use TSSSIM Under TSO in an SPF Environment

You can use TSSSIM under TSO in an SPF environment.

The following restrictions apply:

• The LOGON, LOGOFF, QUIT, END, and ENVIRON commands are not honored.
• To change the environment of a signed-on simulated ACID, return to the logon panel and specify the ACID name and facility.
• On all panels after the logon panel, the FACILITY field must be clear before you press Enter.

Follow these steps:

1. Enter the TSSSIM option on the OPTION line of the SPF main menu.

   The logon panel appears.

2. Complete the logon panel:
   1. Specify required logon information in the ACIDNAME and Facility fields.
   2. (Optional) Specify values for the other fields.

   Press Enter to attempt the logon.

   TSSSIM displays a message describing the status of the session.

3. Press the PF3 key to clear the message.

   The CA Top Secret Resource Selection List panel appears. This panel displays resource classes on which the simulator can perform a security check. You can scroll the resource class list if needed.

4. Enter S next to a resource to display an associated resource class panel where you can complete fields and perform the security check.

   To display more information about any resource class panel, enter HELP on the OPTION line of the panel. (To return to the original panel, press the PF3 key.)

   Special commands (EJECT, STATUS, and TSS) generate output to an ISPF table. This process is useful for commands (such as TSS LIST) that generate lengthy output, because the output resides in a normal ISPF table. Pressing the PF3 key destroys the output and returns control to the previously displayed panel.

   Note: CA Top Secret recognizes special commands only when you enter the commands on the COMMAND line from one of the panels. The commands do not work on COMMAND lines within a panel that was triggered by another command.
