HPBPW—Expired Password for Batch Job

Valid on z/OS.

Use the HPBPW control option to specify the maximum number of days that CA Top Secret honors an expired or previous password for batch jobs.

All entry methods are accepted.

This control option has the following format:

HPBPW(n)

n

The number of days that CA Top Secret will honor an expired or previous password associated with a batch job.

Range: 0 to 9

Default: 0

CA Top Secret will check the HPBPW setting if a user submits a job and changes his password prior to the job's initiation.

CA Top Secret will check the HPBPW setting to determine if the job has initiated within the number of days specified. CA Top Secret will honor the user's previous password if the job initiates within the HPBPW setting.

This option is useful if jobs are left on the hold queue for later execution.

HPBPW is not required if using the JES Early Verify feature of z/OS. Since all verification has been performed at submit, there is no check on password validity when the job initiates.
