We use Top Secret. A consultant made a recommendation late last year that Top Secret should be the first task started during the IPL procedure. The Security Administrator has requested this change. Currently, we start Top Secret after JES2 completes its start procedure. I really don't see the merit in moving the start of Top Secret earlier in the IPL procedure. Can anyone explain why starting Top Secret/security product is more advantageous? <snip> Because until it starts, you have no security? I would assume by this question that you have the system set up to startup with the default of EVERYONE is authorized to everything. Otherwise, you would come up to about the point of the master scheduler getting control, and then your operator(s) would be busy for the next several hours replying "U" to every OPEN of every data set. So if the first scenario is the case, all STCs that start before JES2, whether they should or not, have access to everything.
