ADDRESS OPER Security With Audit Ability

Because you can use the ADDRESS OPER host command environment to enter commands that can crash JES, z/OS, or VM, we have built security measures into ADDRESS OPER. The default security authorization exit for ADDRESS OPER commands issues an error message and terminates if you do not have OPER authority. ADDRESS OPER also terminates if you specify any of the following commands:

• IMS command-/CHE
• JES3 commands-*DUMP, *RETUR
• z/OS command-QUIESCE
• VM commands-CP, #CP, I, IPL, LOG, LOGOFF, LOGOUT, SHUTDOWN, SYS, SYSTEM

All commands issued through the ADDRESS OPER host command environment go into the system log, prefaced with message ID OPS1181H.
