Administering the Facility Matrix Table

Values contained in the Facility Matrix Table can be changed as well as displayed by using the TSS Modify command. You would use the following syntax:

TSS MODIFY(FAC(suboption=operand=value))

substituting the facility name for “suboption.”

Note: Quotes (“) are not required.

For example, to change the mode value for the BATCH facility from FAIL to WARN, you would enter:

TSS MODIFY(FACILITY(BATCH=MODE=WARN))

If you wanted to permit users to signon to the CICSTEST facility you would enter:

TSS MODIFY(FAC(CICSTEST=ACTIVE))

A list of the defaults for each facility is included in your separate Implementation Guide, as well as in your Control Options Guide under the FACILITY control option heading.

The next few sections of this chapter will introduce you to additional facility-specific security protection provided by CA Top Secret, but first, we should explain the difference between single and multiple user address space.
