Fix Recommendation

Add a PROPCNTL profile for each userid associated with a job scheduler (e.g., CONTROL-M, CA-7, etc.) or a MUSASS able to submit batch jobs (e.g., CA-ROSCOE, etc.).

A sample command is shown here:
RDEF PROPCNTL controlm UACC(NONE) OWNER(ADMIN)

Check Contents

Refer to a list all Multiple User Access Systems in use on this system. These are systems that run in a single address space, but allow multiple users to sign on to them (e.g., CICS regions, Session Managers, etc.). For each region, also include corresponding userids, profiles, data management files, and a brief description (of each region).

Refer to the documentation of the processes used for submission of batch jobs via an automated process (i.e., scheduler or other sources) and each of the associated userids.

If the submission of batch jobs via an automated process (e.g., job scheduler, job submission started task, etc.) is being utilized, and/or Multiple User Single Address Space Systems (MUSASS) capable of submitting batch jobs are active on this system and the following items are in effect, this is not a finding.

The PROPCNTL resource class is active.
A PROPCNTL resource class profile is defined for each userid associated with a job scheduler (e.g., CONTROL-M, CA-7, etc.) and a MUSASS able to submit batch jobs (e.g., CA-ROSCOE, etc.).
