Fix Recommendation

Ensure that WRITE and/or greater access to Compuware Abend-AID User data sets listed is limited to systems 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 data sets
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)
