Securing Definitions In The System Dictionary

Why You Do It

Security information about system resources (and some database resources) is stored in the system dictionary. To secure the security information itself, secure the system dictionary.

How You Do It

Since the system dictionary is a CA IDMS database, you secure the system dictionary by activating security for resource type DB. You can specify an SRTT entry to secure all databases in the system, or you can specify an individual entry for each database you choose to secure.

Important! Before securing any database in the system, become familiar with all considerations related to database security, as described in Securing Database Resources.
