We use Top Secret.  A consultant made a recommendation late last year

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.

We have ACF2 and start it before JES2. My fuzzy memory recalls it being moved from a post JES2 startup via the COMMND member to the pre JES2 startup due to an outside auditor finding. It *may* have been that the finding had something to do with the USS environment ( at that time maybe still called OE) and the fact that ACF2 was not up yet for it. I looked at when I created the new members in parmlib to accomplish this and they where done in 2000. Fuzzy may be strong enough for my memory. :-)


Can anyone explain why starting Top Secret/security product is more
advantageous?
