Changes to View 2.0 External Security

The security package in CA View has extensive and complete security calls that are made for every end-user database access.

Beginning with r11, external security uses Resource Names (as compared to CA View 2.0 that used pseudo data set names). Release 11 also introduced 33 new security call functions. Some of these functions were new, such as Print Index and Create Banner. Some functions related to functions that did not require security, such as, Define Device and Create Annotation.

Security calls were added to SARMFP (the Microfiche Processing Utility) and to SARSAM (the SAR Database Access Method).

SARMFP now requires read authority (Function Code - CPLFSSL SYSOUT List) to migrate any SYSOUT to the microfiche output file. A SYSOUT cannot be migrated if access authority fails—in that case the SYSOUT is bypassed.

SARSAM now requires read authority for any sub-file based functions, specific to the sub-file type.

• Reading a panel sub-file requires read authority (Function Code 56 - CPLFPACC - Access On-line Panel).
• Reading a banner sub-file requires read authority (Function Code 52 - CPLFBACC - Access Banner Page).
• Reading a resource or SYSOUT sub-file requires read authority for both the sub-file (Function code 4 - CPLFBRS – Browse SYSOUT) and read authority to all pages (Function code 26 - CPLFAPGS - Access All Pages).
