What Can TSSadmin Express™ Do For You?

Improve Service Levels of Your TSS Administration

TSSadmin Express™ takes your CA-Top Secret (TSS) administration to the next level by utilizing integrated functions to accelerate many common day-to-day functions.   You can perform the current workload with significantly less effort and in significantly less time.  Moreover, you can increase the depth, quality, quantity and speed of administration with greater attention to detail than is otherwise possible without automated productivity tools.  Take a look at these benefits:

• Automation of repetitive / rote manual steps through the use of high-performance commands designed specifically for day-to-day TSS administration.

• Reduction of manual data entry by eliminating need for the most frequently used and bulky command syntax through the use of Smart Output™ commands and re-use of data with the AC Power Button™.

• Elimination of unnecessary copying/pasting of data and screen navigation through use of the AC Power Button™ and Snap Navigation™ commands.

• Instant online execution, monitoring and verification of TSS command sets, eliminating the need for submitting and monitoring batch jobs.

• Accelerated access to user information via a cached set of administrative data that is accessible with zero overhead to TSS itself or the TSS security database.

• Correlation and Consolidation of data and elimination of unnecessary manual efforts to cross-reference information from multiple sources:

  • Quickly isolate recent security changes affecting a User ID (or any attached profile), which speeds the process of diagnosing a User access problem.

  • Simplify TSS LIST output review by correlating and imbedding names and departments of associated ACID’s.

  • Enhance TSS WHOHAS output by correlating and imbedding individual User ACID’s, names, and departments.

  • Quickly diagnose the cause of a resource violation reports by isolating the specific permission that caused the violation.

• Use of intuitive commands that automatically invoke a logical sequence of manual steps with a single command or the press of a key.

Improve Accuracy – Safeguard Against Errors

TSSadmin Express™ improves the accuracy of TSS administration work to help prevent errors due to incorrect data entry or lack of ability to correlate data between multiple sources:

• Use of online, real-time automated processes to instantly build large sets of TSS administration commands modeled from live TSS data (vs. manual entry, batch job execution and manual editing techniques).

• Elimination of typographical errors by reduction of manually entered bulky command syntax.

• Automated correlation and consolidation of User and Resource data between multiple sources to help verify and correctly identify components being assessed or changed.

• Overload Protection for TSS command execution to help detect and prevent capacity issues that occur when the TSS Command Propagation Facility exceeds capacity. 

• Prevention of harmful long-running TSS command entry by trapping and stopping LIST(ACIDS) commands that do not have additional scope-limiting keywords.
   

Improve Security through Enhanced Awareness

TSSadmin Express™ provides you with tools you need to be aware of unusual changes or conditions within the TSS environment and to monitor security administrator activity:

• You are alerted to high-risk or unusual changes via automated assessment of recent changes to the security database

• Security activity metrics are organized, summarized and formatted to provide management decision support

• Consolidated reports enable you to provide comprehensive reports to resource owners to accommodate the need to periodically review and certify access capabilities.
