Securing the Dictionary As a Database

Why You Do It

An application dictionary consists of one segment that is a non-SQL defined database and, if the SQL Option is installed, another segment (the catalog component) that is an SQL-defined database. A user can access the dictionary as a database, and, therefore, to secure the application dictionary, you should secure it as a database in CA IDMS centralized security.

How You Do It

To secure the application dictionary as a database, you secure the DB resource type or the occurrence of the DB resource that the dictionary represents. Then you categorize run units for the compilers and tools that access the dictionary and grant execution privilege on the Category.
