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?

IMHO, as long as it's up and initialized before any users can get
access, the detailed timing doesn't matter. Before or after JES2
shouldn't matter a whit. Consider this: if there's a JCL error in the
proc, starting it AFTER JES2 will allow you to capture the error without
too much trouble.
