How EDIF Prevents Unauthorized Read Operations

EDIF also lets you prevent unauthorized programs from reading data sets. During read verification, EDIF examines a list of authorized programs that you have provided before letting programs read the affected data set. If a program is not authorized to read the data set, then EDIF takes an action based on other options you have specified. To monitor unauthorized read operations, record violations in the system log or in an SMF record. To prevent unauthorized read operations, you can tell EDIF to abend unauthorized programs.
