Fix Recommendation

Ensure that WRITE and/or greater access to BMC CONTROL-M/Restart Archived Sysout data sets are limited to production control scheduling personnel, scheduled batch users, System Programmers, and the BMC STCs and/or batch users only. READ access can be given to auditors and BMC users.

The installing Systems Programmer will identify and document the product data sets and categorize them according to who will have update and alter access and if required that all update and allocate access is logged.

The installing Systems Programmer will identify if any additional groups have update and/or alter access for specific data sets, and once documented will work with the IAO to see that they are properly restricted to the ACP (Access Control Program) active on the system.

(Note: The data sets and/or data set prefixes identified below are examples of a possible installation. The actual data sets and/or prefixes are determined when the product is actually installed on a system through the product’s installation guide and can be site specific.)

Data sets to be protected will be:
CTRSYS.

The following commands are provided as a sample for implementing data set controls:

$KEY(CTRSYS)
- UID(<syspaudt>) R(A) W(A) A(A) E(A)
- UID(CONTROLM) R(A) W(A) A(A) E(A)
- UID(CONTDAY) R(A) W(A) A(A) E(A)
- UID(<audtaudt>) R(A) E(A)
- UID(<bmcuser>) R(A) E(A)
- UID(<autoaudt>) R(A) W(A) A(A) E(A)
- UID(<pcspaudt>) R(A) W(A) A(A) E(A)
