Security Considerations

The CA XCOM Data Transport CICS interface uses a combination of CICS security, CA XCOM Data Transport security, and data set authorization as defined by IBM, RACF, CA ACF2, or CA Top Secret. The CA XCOM Data Transport CICS interface does not issue any security calls or supervisor calls (SVCs). It allows the CA XCOM Data Transport server to issue all security authorization calls.
