REFRESH Function—Renew ACIDs

Valid on z/OS, z/VSE, and z/VM.

Use the REFRESH command function to renew the ACIDs in any address space in the security environment. Use this command in multi‑user address spaces like CICS and IMS, where an ACID can have multiple instances of signed on users.

Issuing the REFRESH command against a target region refreshes all occurrences of an ACID. As a result, the user does not need to log off and log back on for administrative changes to take effect.

All users are allowed to REFRESH their own security environment.

The ACID being refreshed must be within the administrator's scope.

This command function has the format:

TSS REFRESH[(acid) [JOBNAME(job|*)]]

• no operands (blank)

  Refreshes one's own security environment.

• acid

  Refreshes one of the following:

  • job

    Refreshes all occurrences of a specified ACID in the address space of a given jobname.

  • *

    Refreshes all occurrences of a specified ACID in all address spaces.
