OPSCMD Security With Audit Ability

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

Type of Command

Command

IMS

/CHE

JES3

*DUMP, *RETURN

MVS

QUIESCE

VM

CP, #CP, I, IPL, LOG, LOGOFF, LOGOUT, SHUTDOWN, SYS, SYSTEM

All commands issued through OPSCMD go into the system log, prefaced with message ID OPS1181H.

Abbreviation: OC is the abbreviation of OPSCMD.
