Security Requirements

While you are preparing your product for startup, you need access to the following security-controlled data sets or libraries on your system:

1. Ensure that you have READ authority to data sets with a prefix of CAI.*. All tape data sets use this prefix.
2. Ensure that you have UPDATE authority to the following data sets or libraries:
   • Started task PROCLIB that stores the run-time JCL, for example, SYS1.PROCLIB
   • SYS1.PARMLIB
   • SYS1.VTAMLST or the library that stores VTAM application definitions and VTAM initialization parameters
   • SYS1.VTAMLIB for terminal mode table definitions
   • Master catalog, a requirement if you intend to define alias entries for data set prefixes
3. Update the following initialization parameter data set members if necessary:
   • SYS1.PARMLIB(IEFSSNxx) to add subsystem IDs
   • SYS1.PARMLIB(IEAAPFxx) to APF-authorize your load libraries
   • SYS1.PARMLIB(CONSOLxx) if your system does not use extended MCS consoles
   • SYS1.PARMLIB(LPALSTxx) if you want to use the SOLVE SSI task as the PPI provider
   • SYS1.PARMLIB(PROGxx) if you want CA Auditor for z/OS or CA Common Inventory Service to have knowledge of your products for your auditors
4. Ensure that the following conditions are met:
   • The user IDs associated with your started tasks have access to the run-time data sets created by the installation and setup processes (UPDATE authority required).
   • The user ID associated with the product region started task is authorized to issue system commands.
