Implementing Security for CA Roscoe › Job Submission Validation

Job Submission Validation

For jobs submitted through CA‑Roscoe using the optional submit exit (SUBEXIT), CA Top Secret provides an additional security control feature beyond the basic batch job validation. This security feature determines whether the submitter has the authority to submit the job. In other words, CA Top Secret checks whether the ACID of the signed on user is authorized to submit the ACID associated with this job through the USER= parameter on the job statement. If he is not, the job is stopped at submission before it is initiated. If the SUBEXIT is installed, the user is notified that the job submission has failed.

Note: Users should code the NOTIFY= parameter on the job statement so that they receive notification that the job has ended (or abended). See Customizing the Interface for details on customizing the SUBEXIT module.
