Installation Requirements for SEC Rules

Use the SECURITYRULESET parameter to allocate a rule set containing only security rules, allowing you to easily enable and disable security-rules.

To prevent accidental or unauthorized editing of security rules, use the installation security product to allow read/write access to only those users that maintain security rules.

For example, consider these parameter settings:

• RULEPREFIX = 'OPSMVS.PROD'
• RULESUFFIX = 'RULES'
• SECURITYRULESET = 'SEC'

Using these examples, your security rule set is the PDS named OPSMVS.PROD.SEC.RULES and is the only rule set from which the AOF allows a SEC type rule to be enabled.

Note: For more information about the SECURITYRULESET parameter and other security parameters that affect rule security such as SECRULEFAILURE and AOFINITOPEN, see the Parameter Reference.
