VIEW_OPT_MASTER

Description

This health check checks the CA View MASTER=ALL setting. This setting is used to grant or prevent access to administrative functions that control the following definitions – USERS, PRINTERS, LOGICAL VIEWS, and SYSOUTS that a user can browse in SAR mode. MASTER=ALL indicates no restrictions.

Best Practice

Best practices recommend setting MASTER to a user ID rather than ALL. For a database in a production environment, change the SARINIT MASTER parameter to MASTER=userid. This does not limit MASTER authority to a single user. A user with master authority can assign master authority to any other user through the online DEF USER command.

Parameters Accepted

No

Debug Support

No

Verbose Support

Yes

Severity

Low

Reference

For more information about CA View parameters and running SARINIT, see the MASTER parameter in the Initialization Parameters Description section in the chapter "Initialization Parameters" in this guide. Also see the Define User command in the chapter "System Administration" in the User Guide.
