Resource Configuration Notes

The Top Secret Active Sync adapter works by using FTP to retrieve the output from the TSSAUDIT facility. It then parses the output to look for account creations, modifications, and deletions. This facility generates a report from the data in the Top Secret Recovery file. Therefore, the Recovery File must be enabled and large enough to hold all changes that will occur between the Active Sync poll interval. A job should be scheduled to run the TSSAUDIT utility so that the output will be available before the next Active Sync adapter poll.

An optional Generational Data Group (GDG) can be set up to contain the results of the TSSAUDIT output. A GDG stores previous versions of the TSSAUDIT output. The Active Sync adapter supports retrieving from a GDG to help avoid missing events if it is not able to run at its normal time. The adapter can be configured to go back multiple generations to pick up any events that it might have missed

The following sample JCL runs the TSSAUDIT batch job:
