SUSPEND Keyword—Prevent Access after Violation

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

Use the SUSPEND keyword to prevent ACIDs from accessing the system when a violation occurs.

Add the FOR or UNTIL keywords onto a SUSPEND entry to limit the number of days the suspension is enforced. When SUSPEND is used with FOR or UNTIL, the TSS LIST output for the suspended ACID contains:

SUSPEND =  UNTIL mm/dd/yy

If the ASUSPEND is not removed administratively, the TSS LIST output for the suspended ACID contains the above text until the ACID completes a successful signon.

This keyword has the following format:

TSS ADDTO(acid) SUSPEND

This keyword is used with:

• The commands CREATE, ADDTO, and REMOVE
• The ACID types User, DCA, VCA, ZCA, LSCA, SCA, and MSCA
• MISC1(SUSPEND) authority

Examples: SUSPEND keyword

This example prevent ACID USER02 from signing on until November 10, 1999:

TSS ADDTO(USER02) SUSPEND
                  UNTIL(11/10/99)

Note: If an ACID is suspended administratively, the ASUSPEND keyword must be used to remove the suspension.

This example removes a temporary SUSPEND (SUSPEND UNTIL(DATE)):

TSS REMOVE(ACARP) ASUSPEND
                  UNTIL(11/10/08)

This example removes the SUSPEND attribute from an ACID, or to unsuspend an ACID that was automatically suspended due to a violation:

TSS REMOVE(ACARP) SUSPEND

The REMOVE (ACARP) SUSPEND command will remove password suspensions, installation exit suspensions, and violation suspensions.

This entry suspends USER01 for five days.

TSS ADDTO(USER01) SUSPEND FOR(5)

This entry suspends USER01 until December 17, 1999.

TSS ADDTO(USER01) SUSPEND UNTIL(12/17/99)
