Use the CREATE command function to define new ACIDs to CA Top Secret. The CA Top Secret administrator can also assign resource ownership and/or security attributes while creating the ACID.

The administrator must have:

• MISC1, MISC2, and MISC9 authorities, via the TSS ADMIN function, to assign security attributes

This command function has the following format:

TSS CREATE(acid)

• acid

  The ACID being created. The only characters used for an ACID are:

  • Alphabetical: A‑Z
  • Numeric: 0‑9
  • National: $ # @ % & = ?

  Other characters may cause unpredictable results and are not supported.
