Privileges to Update Object Instances and Use Command Console

CA IDMS Visual DBA uses the CA IDMS compilers (SCHEMA, SUBSCHEMA, IDD, SYSGEN, and BCF/OCF) and the DCMT programs to perform updates to object definitions. Normal CA IDMS security applies for running these compilers and for executing DCMT commands.

CA IDMS Visual DBA runs the compilers and DCMT with the help of table procedures SYSCA.VDBAIDD5, SYSCA.VDBADCT5 and SYSCA.VDBADCU5. To perform any updates with CA IDMS Visual DBA or to execute commands and scripts in a Command Console, you need the SELECT and the INSERT privilege on resource names SYSCA.VDBAIDD5, SYSCA.VDBADCT5, and SYSCA.VDBADCU5.

Similarly, to globally prohibit updates of any of the CA IDMS Visual DBA objects or execution of commands and scripts in a Command Console, you can revoke the SELECT and INSERT privileges on resource name SYSCA.VDBAIDD5, SYSCA.VDBADCT5, and SYSCA.VDBADCU5 for a user.
