Security Initialization Changes

With this release, the MULTIJOB keyword can be specified on the SECURITY statement. Possible values are IGNORE, FLUSH, and REQUEUE. With this keyword, CA Workload Automation SE controls the job submission action for jobs found with multiple JOB statements within the JCL member for the job.

Also, a new message CAL2S1512W was added:

CAL2S1512W PSP=YES Required for MULTIJOB=REQUEUE; option reset to MULTIJOB=FLUSH

The EXTERNAL keyword has a new parameter, AGENT, which is used to indicate that any attempt to submit an agent job or command is validated through external security.

Other new keywords are AGCLASS and AGUSER. AGCLASS can specify a resource class for security calls made to validate a user's authority with regard to agent jobs and commands. AGUSER can specify a hierarchy of candidate user ID sources to determine the mainframe user (MFUser) to use for authorizing agent job submission.

The LOGOPID keyword now has an additional value of ALL. The keyword format is LOGOPID={YES|NO|ALL}. LOGOPID=ALL indicates that transaction log records for all commands include an operator ID. This change affects processing for SASSHIS8 report SASSHR02, the Transaction Detail Report, and SASSHR12, the Database Update Transaction Detail Report.

The new keyword value LOGOPID=ALL writes the operator ID to type x‘72’ log records, which the SASSHR02 and SASSHR12 reports use. LOGOPID=YES does not write the operator ID to type x‘72’ log records but does write the user ID to the log that is used in the SASSHR02 and SASSHR12 reports.
