Administering Your Security Environment › Modifying Your Security Environment › Setting the Violation Threshold

Setting the Violation Threshold

The VTHRESH options determine both the number of violations that an ACID can incur and the action that CA Top Secret will take when that violation is exceeded. The default is

VTHRESH(5,NOT)

which tells CA Top Secret, after 5 violations have occurred, to NOTify the console and the terminal through a message indicating that the threshold has been reached. Any number from 0 to 254 can be supplied in place of 5. Other options include:

CANcel

Specifies that, after the designated number of violations, the TSO or VM session, or batch job will be cancelled through the MVS recovery and termination manager (RTM) or CP FORCE command.

SUSpend

Specifies that, after the designated number of violations, the session will be cancelled and the ACID will be suspended.

RESet

Specifies that, after the designated number of violations, the SUSpend or CANcel options will be reset to NOTify

SUS/CAN,WARN

Specifies that, after the designated number of violations, CANcel and SUSpend will be enforced in WARN mode.
