OTRAN Security

The OTRAN resource name is shared by all CICS, CA‑IDMS®, and IMS facilities. Therefore, protecting a transaction via OTRAN for a CICS region also results in transactions of the same name being protected in all CICS, Advantage™ CA‑IDMS®, and IMS regions that are also under the control of CA Top Secret.

Note: A transaction protected using OTRAN will ignore LCF security.

To add ownership of a transaction to an ACID, enter:

TSS ADDTO(dept) OTRAN(transaction)

To permit access for a user‑acid to the protected transaction, issue a command like the one shown below.

TSS PERMIT(acid) OTRAN(transaction)

In CA Top Secret, OTRAN security can also provide password reverification. See the User Guide for a detailed discussion on OTRAN security.
