If the following guidance is true, this is not a finding. ___ The ACF2 data set rules for the data sets restricts READ access to auditors. ___ The ACF2 data set rules for the data sets restricts WRITE and/or greater access to systems programming personnel. ___ The ACF2 data set rules for the data sets restricts WRITE and/or greater access to the Compuware Abend-AID’s STC(s) and/or batch user(s).

Fix text

The IAO will ensure that WRITE and/or greater access to Compuware Abend-AID STC data sets is limited to System Programmers and/or Compuware Abend-AID’s STC(s) and/or batch user(s) only. READ access can be given to auditors. The installing Systems Programmer will identify and document the product data sets and categorize them according to who will have WRITE and/or greater access and if required that all WRITE and/or greater access is logged. He will identify if any additional groups have WRITE and/or greater access for specific data sets, and once documented he will work with the IAO to see that they are properly restricted to the ACP (Access Control Program) active on the system. Data sets to be protected will be: SYS3.ABENDAID. The following commands are provided as a sample for implementing data set controls: $KEY(SYS3) ABENDAID.- UID() R(A) W(A) A(A) E(A) ABENDAID.- UID() R(A) W(A) A(A) E(A) ABENDAID.- UID(ABENDAID STCs) R(A) W(A) A(A) E(A) ABENDAID.- UID() R(A) E(A)

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
