Refer to the following report produced by the TSS Data Collection: - TSSCMDS.RPT(FACLIST) - Preferred report containing all control option values in effect including default values - TSSCMDS.RPT(TSSPRMFL) - Alternate report containing only control option values explicitly coded at TSS startup Ensure the BMC CONTROL-M Facility Matrix table is defined as follows: FAC(USERxx=NAME=CONTROLM,PGM=CTM,ID=nn,ACTIVE,SHRPRF) FAC(CONTROLM=ASUBM,NOABEND,MULTIUSER,NOXDEF,SIGN(S)) FAC(CONTROLM=RES,LUMSG,STMSG,WARNPW,NORNDPW) FAC(CONTROLM=NOAUDIT,NOTSOC,MODE=FAIL) FAC(CONTROLM=LOG(SMF,INIT,MSG,SEC9),UIDACID=8,LOCKTIME=000)
Fix Text
The BMC CONTROL-M system programmer and the IAO will ensure that the TOP SECRET Facility Matrix Table is properly defined using the following example: CONTROLM: FAC(USERxx=NAME=CONTROLM,PGM=CTM,ID=nn,ACTIVE,SHRPRF) FAC(CONTROLM=ASUBM,NOABEND,MULTIUSER,NOXDEF) FAC(CONTROLM=LUMSG,STMSG,SIGN(S),WARNPW,NORNDPW) FAC(CONTROLM=NOAUDIT,NOTSOC,MODE=FAIL) FAC(CONTROLM=LOG(SMF,INIT,MSG,SEC9),UIDACID=8,LOCKTIME=000)
