Ensure that WRITE and/or greater access to Compuware Abend-AID User data sets listed is limited to System Programmers and/or Compuware Abend-AID’s STC(s) and/or batch user(s) only. Ensure that CONTROL access to Compuware Abend-AID User data sets listed is limited to Application Development Programmers and Application Production Support Team members. READ access can be given to auditors. (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: Region dump datasets Report databases Source listing files/source listing shared directories The following commands are provided as a sample for implementing data set controls: AD 'sys3.abendaid.shared.**' UACC(NONE) OWNER(SYS3) AUDIT(SUCCESS(UPDATE) FAILURES(READ)) AD 'sys3.abendaid.reportdb.**' UACC(NONE) OWNER(SYS3) AUDIT(SUCCESS(UPDATE) FAILURES(READ)) PE 'sys3.abendaid.reportdb.**' ID(syspaudt) ACC(A) PE 'sys3.abendaid.reportdb.**' ID(tstcaudt) ACC(A) PE 'sys3.abendaid.reportdb.**' ID(ABEND-AID STCs) ACC(A) PE 'sys3.abendaid.reportdb.**' ID(audtaudt) ACC(R) PE 'sys3.abendaid.reportdb.**' ID(appdaudt) ACC(CONTROL) PE 'sys3.abendaid.reportdb.**' ID(appsaudt) ACC(CONTROL) PE 'sys3.abendaid.shared.**' ID(syspaudt) ACC(A) PE 'sys3.abendaid.shared.**' ID(tstcaudt) ACC(A) PE 'sys3.abendaid.shared.**' ID(ABEND-AID STCs) ACC(A) PE 'sys3.abendaid.shared.**' ID(audtaudt) ACC(R) PE 'sys3.abendaid.shared.**' ID(appdaudt) ACC(CONTROL) PE 'sys3.abendaid.shared.**' ID(appsaudt) ACC(CONTROL)

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.
