Batch Compiler Coding Considerations › Compiler Security › Security at the Compiler Level

Security at the Compiler Level

Security at the batch compiler level restricts the actions that a map developer can specify for any map. Security at the batch compiler level is governed by the following IDD statements:

• SET OPTIONS ... SECURITY FOR IDMS DC. IS ON/OFF

  Specifies whether security is in effect for CA IDMS entity types accessed by the compiler. If CA IDMS security is off, the map developer immediately passes the compiler level security check. If security is on and the map developer has not used the SIGNON statement (presented later in this section) to provide signon information, the developer immediately fails the security check. Otherwise, the map developer passes or fails the security check based on information specified by the USER statement (see the following description).

• ADD/MOD USER user-name ... INCLUDE/EXCLUDE DELETE/DISPLAY MAP/PANEL

  Specifies the actions that the map developer has the authority to perform. The map developer passes or fails the security check depending on whether the developer has authority for the specified action.

Note: For more information about the SET OPTIONS and USER statements, see the CA IDMS IDD DDDL Reference Guide.

If the map developer fails the compiler-level security check, an error message is generated. If the developer passes the security check, the batch compiler performs a security check at the map-specific level.
