Implementing Security for IMS › IMS to CA Top Secret Definition › Facility Matrix Resource Translation

Facility Matrix Resource Translation

For some IMS resources, IMS generates resource security calls using IMS defined resource classes. For example, IMS generates transaction security calls using the TIMS resource class.

CA Top Secret translates IMS generated resource class requests into traditional TSS defined resource classes. To implement resource translation, use the RXLTADD operand to add translation entries to the facility definition.

The following table shows the IMS objects you can perform resource class translation on.

Example: IMS translation

This example translates IMS generated TIMS transaction security requests to the traditional TSS OTRAN resource class for the IMSPROD facility:

TSS MODIFY FACILITY(IMSPROD=RXLTADD(TIMS:OTRAN))

After this command is executed security calls with the TIMS resource class are checked against OTRAN user permissions.
