Security Requirements

The DTS feature dynamically creates MVS datasets for temporarily storing remote server data. The dataset name is controlled by the PREFIX= operand on the GLOBAL statement appended with the SRVDEF name itself. You may need to update your security system to provide the CTS started task appropriate authority to create these datasets. Verify with your security administrator that the USERID assigned to the CTS started task has authority to create these MVS data sets.

The DTS feature makes use of TCP/IP for communicating with the remote servers. The USERID associated with the CTS started task must have a valid OMVS segment defined to allow use of TCP/IP facilities. The USERID assigned to your TCP/IP started task may be used as a model to construct a security profile for the CTS started task. Consult with your mainframe security administrator for this requirement.
