Implementing Security for IMS › IMS Command Security › Type 1 AOI Commands

Type 1 AOI Commands

Application programs can issue IMS commands using the CMD communications call and retrieve the command response using the GCMD communications call. These commands are called type 1 AOI commands.

For releases of IMS prior to IMS r9.1, the only security available for these commands is the TRANCMD security function of SMU.

For IMS r9.1 and above, the AOI1 IMS initialization parameter specifies the level of security for type 1 AOI commands. If the AOI1 security option requests command validation, a SAF call is performed that invokes CA Top Secret command validation for type 1 AOI commands.
