Provides Means of Restricting or Extending Inquiry and Control

CA Datacom CICS Services provides multiple transaction IDs through which the security administrator can restrict the use of control commands to authorized users.

• It provides three alternate CICS transaction IDs to enable the security administrator to authorize users to invoke inquiry displays while limiting their access to control commands. Specifically, the security administrator can authorize a limited set of users the access to Operational (DBOC), Enhanced (DBEC) and Test Facility (DBTS) transaction IDs which are valid with commands which allow the control of resources. The security administrator can provide unrestricted access to the Inquiry (DBIC), Enhanced Inquiry (DBEX), and Test Facility Read-Only (DBTX) transaction IDs which can be used only with "inquiry" type commands.
• It provides a means of limiting users authorized for the DBOC transactions to initiate or terminate CA Datacom CICS Services or alter online the System Generation Options coded in DBCVTPR. This limiting is accomplished through use of the MSTOPR= parameter in the System Options Table, which accepts up to 50 operator IDs.
