The /MVS command allows a CA WA CA 7 Edition user to issue an MVS console command from a CA WA CA 7 Edition terminal. Although such a facility can prove indispensable in certain situations, the risks associated with an indiscriminate use of the command are obvious. This section discusses security concerns regarding the use of the command.
Note: For more information about the /MVS command, see the Command Reference Guide.
The /MVS command text is sent to MVS using SVC 34. The user ID that is associated with the CA WA CA 7 Edition address space is the user ID in control when the SVC is issued.
CA WA CA 7 Edition does not perform any special validation to verify the authority of the terminal user for the MVS command attempted. If the user is allowed to issue the /MVS command, the specified command text is sent to MVS.
We recommend that you employ CA WA CA 7 Edition command security to restrict /MVS command access to a limited class of privileged users.
