Transactional Applications

Transactional applications are run using the AEF, in the $IEFH/bin directory. Change to the $IEFH/bin directory and modify the permissions of the executable program, called aef, using the following command:

chmod 4711 aef

The permissions should read:

-rws--x--x aef

The s in the permissions field indicates that a user executing this program inherits the privileges of the ID that owns the executable. Anyone using the AEF to run an application has read access to the production AEENV file and the load modules while running the AEF. When the application needs database access, the application can read the AEENV file. The user can not browse the files.
