Fix Recommendation

The IAO will work with the systems programmer to verify that the following are properly specified in the ACP.

(Note: The resource class, resources, and/or resource prefixes identified below are examples of a possible installation. The resource class, actual resources, 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.)

Use BMC MAINVIEW Resources table in the zOS STIG Addendum. This table lists the resources, access requirements, and logging requirement for BMC MAINVIEW. Ensure the guidelines for the resources and/or generic equivalent specified in the z/OS STIG Addendum are followed.

The TSS resources as designated in the above table are owned and/or DEFPROT is specified for the resource class.

The TSS resource access authorizations restrict access to the appropriate personnel as designated in the above table.

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

TSS ADD(dept-acid) #BMCVIEW(BBM)
TSS PERMIT(autoaudt) #BMCVIEW(BBM.ssid.CN) ACCESS(ALL)
TSS PERMIT(dasdaudt) #BMCVIEW(BBM.ssid.CN) ACCESS(ALL)
TSS PERMIT(mqsaaudt) #BMCVIEW(BBM.ssid.CN) ACCESS(ALL)
TSS PERMIT(Mainview STCs) #BMCVIEW(BBM.ssid.CN) ACCESS(ALL)
TSS PERMIT(mvzread) #BMCVIEW(BBM.ssid.CN) ACCESS(ALL)
TSS PERMIT(mvzupdt) #BMCVIEW(BBM.ssid.CN) ACCESS(ALL)
TSS PERMIT(pcspaudt) #BMCVIEW(BBM.ssid.CN) ACCESS(ALL)
TSS PERMIT(syspaudt) #BMCVIEW(BBM.ssid.CN) ACCESS(ALL)
