Facilities

You only need to define facilities if you have defined a security level of 1 or higher in the System Resource Table, SECLVL= parameter. Facilities are divided into two categories, online and batch. Each facility is represented by an entity-occurrence in the SYSTEM entity-type. These entity-occurrences are provided by CA Datacom Datadictionary when the product is installed and should not be modified or deleted. They can be recognized by their entity-occurrence name which begins with $DD-. The facilities secured by CA Datacom Datadictionary Security are:

The Source Language Generation function is accessed through the DDUTILTY utility and is therefore secured when you secure the utility. The CA Datacom Datadictionary Input Creation Facility (DDICF) is not secured since it does not access CA Datacom Datadictionary directly and security must be invoked to execute the transactions generated.

Note: For more information about the CA Datacom Datadictionary utilities, see the CA Datacom Datadictionary Batch Reference Guide.
