Security Considerations for Host Commands

Host commands issued from AOF rules are considered authorized from a CA OPS/MVS product perspective and are not subject to CA OPS/MVS security processing. When used in an OPS/REXX program in an insecure environment (for example, the TSO address space of a user or in a server), the use of any of these host command environments results in the creation of CA OPS/MVS product security events:

• AOF
• EPI
• OPER
• OPSCTL
• SQL
• WTO

Note: For related information, see the discussion of security rules and the OPUSEX security exit in the User Guide. Additional information about the OPUSEX exit appears in the chapter “Technical Notes” in the Administrator Guide.
