Baseline Policy File Configuration

CA Auditor baseline feature requires a policy data set. The policy data set:

• Must be allocated as a partitioned data set (PDS).
• Have the attributes DSORG=PO, RECFM=FB,LRECL=80,BLKSIZE= a multiple of 80 bytes
• The Policy DD must be part of the Authorized Task execution environment.
• You may have only one active policy data set per z/OS image. Allocate multiple policy data sets if the scope of your z/OS environment spans multiple z/OS images.
• Should be appropriately secured

The auditor responsible for establishing and maintaining the baseline audit policy requires read/write access. The user ID used to run the batch baseline jobs requires read access.

The PDS contains the POLTJS member responsible for supplying the parameters necessary for CA Auditor to automatically handle batch job submissions for baseline processing. This member:

• Supports resolution records and policy control records
• Is created and maintained by the user
