Fix Recommendation

Configure JES(XBMALLRACF) SETROPTS value to be set to JES(XBMALLRACF). This specifies that JES is set to test for a userid and password on the job statement or for propagated RACF identification information for all jobs run under the execution batch monitor.

Evaluate the impact associated with implementation of the control option. Develop a plan of action to implement the control option as specified in the example below:

The RACF Command SETR LIST will show the status of RACF Controls including a status of JES-XBMALLRACF.

XBMALLRACF is activated with the command SETR XBMALLRACF.
