Limited Command Facility

If a resource is considered unownable, CA Top Secret lets you extend security through the Limited Command Facility (LCF). LCF security is administered through the TSS ADDTO command and allows the Security administrator to limit the following:

• Commands available to a TSO user
• Monitor commands available to CA Roscoe, ACEP, WYLBUR, and other online users
• Transactions an online user can use in CICS, IMS, and CA IDMS
• Programs a batch job can execute

LCF protection can be employed following an inclusive approach—using the CMDS or TRANS keywords—or an exclusive approach—using the XCMDS or XTRANS keyword.

Note: The CMDS, TRANS, XCMDS, and XTRANS keywords are interchangeable.
