Secure the CA Datacom/AD MUF

After the CA Datacom/AD MUF is established, define the security rules to secure the MUF. Use the sample members in the CAL2OPTN library after CA WA CA 7 Edition has been laid down. We add this step here and are repeating the step in the CA WA CA 7 Edition sections too.

Set up the started task ID for the CA Datacom/AD environment that CA WA CA 7 Edition uses. Also, permit CA WA CA 7 Edition to use functions of the CA Datacom/AD environment. Because system programmers backup and restore the database as needed, grant them sufficient access to perform the necessary CA Datacom/AD functions.

Three members in CAL2OPTN contain CA Datacom/AD access rules for the following security environments:

CA Datacom/AD MUF Startup Options for CA 7

Review the startup options for the MUF that will service CA WA CA 7 Edition.

CA WA CA 7 Edition requires some MUF options that differ from the CA Datacom/AD installation defaults.

The options are specified in these members of the CUSMAC library for the MUF:

These members correspond to the CA WA CA 7 Edition CAL2OPTN library members:

These CAL2OPTN members have the option settings that CA WA CA 7 Edition needs. If you are dedicating a MUF solely to the service of CA WA CA 7 Edition, you can simply replace:

datacom-CUSMAC(AXDATIN1) with ca7-CAL2OPTN(AL2MUFS1)
datacom-CUSMAC(AXDATIN2) with ca7-CAL2OPTN(AL2MUFS2)

However, if you intend to share a MUF with other applications, examine its startup options and modify them according to these recommendations. If the option requirements of other MUF users are incompatible with the guidelines here, consider dedicating another MUF for use with CA WA CA 7 Edition. MUF startup options are discussed in the CA Datacom/DB Database and Administration Guide.

LOGRCV NO

Means that a LOG RECOVERY FILE is available. But no output device is permanently allocated.

Important! The default is NEVER, which CA WA CA 7 Edition must not use.

TASKS 500,60K,0,0,250

Indicates the number of tasks that are required to service all the instances of CA WA CA 7 Edition that share the MUF. If you are modifying an existing MUF to use with CA WA CA 7 Edition, increase the values on the TASKS parameter by the amounts that are mentioned here.

VIRTUAL xxxxxx,xx

Indicates how much virtual storage to reserve for temporary areas for the SQL requests. Update the VIRTUAL statements for IXX017 and TTM017.

VIRTUAL IXX017,1M 
VIRTUAL TTM017,200M
COVERED

Specify the following values:

COVERED 0002,120%
COVERED 0015,120%
COVERED IXX0770,115% 
COVERED MIN0770,100% 
COVERED DFS0770,115%
COVERED JOB0770,115%
COVERED AWS0770,115%
COVERED AWL0770,115%
COVERED AWH0770,115%
COVERED HIS0770,115%
COVERED HIL0770,115%
XCF_FROM

CA Datacom/AD does not perform any XCF operations by default. To activate it for CA WA CA 7 Edition processing, specify:

XCF_FROM *,*,*,YES XCF RECEIVE FROM SYS, JOB, GROUP, ALLOW 
SECURITY

The SECURITY statement activates external security to protect the data that is stored in CA Datacom/AD.
