Examples: DOWN control option

This example shows how the default DOWN(BW,SB,TW,OW) forces CA Top Secret to process security when its address space is down.

BW

Batch jobs and password changes (B) will wait for CA Top Secret to be reactivated (W).

SB

STC initiations (S) will bypass security checking (B).

TW

TSO logons and password changes (T) will wait for CA Top Secret to be reactivated (W).

OW

Online initiations and password changes (O) will wait for CA Top Secret to be reactivated (W).

Note: An action of B normally indicates to bypass all security. However, a TSO logon with a DOWN option of TB in effect will result in the UADS password for the user being checked.
