Enhanced Object Security

You can optionally setup IDMS Central Version to use enhanced object security for CA IDMS Visual DBA access. With this option selected, CA IDMS Visual DBA will require the existence of a CA IDMS Visual DBA profile for the user accessing the Central Version.

CA IDMS Visual DBA uses the value of the session attribute VIDMSR17 to locate and retrieve an IDD module that contains the CA IDMS Visual DBA profile to be used for the CA IDMS Visual DBA session. The IDD module contains the root entries, optionally with filters and permissions that the user is presented after a connection has been established. Only those root objects and associated child objects can be viewed and manipulated in accordance with the defined permissions. The IDD module also contains a list of command console processors with associated dictionaries that can be run by the user.
