RESSEC

The RESSEC system initialization parameter specifies whether you want CICS to honor the RESSEC option specified on a transaction's resource definition.

RESSEC={ASIS|ALWAYS}
Valid values are as follows:
ASIS
CICS honors the RESSEC option defined in a transaction's resource definition. CICS calls its resource security checking routine only when RESSEC(YES) is specified in a transaction resource definition. This is normally a sufficient level of control, because often you will need only to control the ability to execute a transaction.
ALWAYS
CICS overrides the RESSEC option, and always calls its resource security checking routine to issue the appropriate call to the SAF interface.

Use this option only if you need to control or audit all accesses to CICS resources. Using this option can significantly degrade performance.

Restrictions You can specify the RESSEC parameter in the SIT, PARM, or SYSIN only.
