PERFORM SECURITY REBUILD

Description

The PERFORM SECURITY REBUILD command is a request for CICS® security information to be refreshed from its external security manager (ESM) source, so that it reflects any updates made since the information was last retrieved.

This command is not required by users whose ESM is RACF®, because the refresh process is automatic.

If your CICS uses another ESM, the effect of this command depends on the particular ESM.

Options

ESMRESP(data-area)

Returns a fullword binary field giving the response code from the external security manager. This value is also returned in the RESP2 field of the response code. If an exception condition prevents CICS from invoking the ESM, the ESMRESP value is left unchanged.
