Fix Recommendation

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

TSS ADD(SYS3) DSN(SYS3.)

TSS PERMIT(syspaudt) DSN(SYS3.ABENDAID.REPORTDB) ACCESS(ALL)
TSS PERMIT(tstcaudt) DSN(SYS3.ABENDAID.REPORTDB) ACCESS(ALL)
TSS PERMIT(ABEND-AID STCs) DSN(SYS3.ABENDAID.REPORTDB) ACCESS(ALL)
TSS PERMIT(audtaudt) DSN(SYS3.ABENDAID.REPORTDB) ACCESS(READ)
TSS PERMIT(appdaudt) DSN(SYS3.ABENDAID.REPORTDB) ACCESS(CONTROL)
TSS PERMIT(appsaudt) DSN(SYS3.ABENDAID.REPORTDB) ACCESS(CONTROL)
TSS PERMIT(syspaudt) DSN(SYS3.ABENDAID.SHARED) ACCESS(ALL)
TSS PERMIT(tstcaudt) DSN(SYS3.ABENDAID.SHARED) ACCESS(ALL)
TSS PERMIT(ABEND-AID STCs) DSN(SYS3.ABENDAID.SHARED) ACCESS(ALL)
TSS PERMIT(audtaudt) DSN(SYS3.ABENDAID.SHARED) ACCESS(READ)
TSS PERMIT(appdaudt) DSN(SYS3.ABENDAID.SHARED) ACCESS(CONTROL)
TSS PERMIT(appsaudt) DSN(SYS3.ABENDAID.SHARED) ACCESS(CONTROL)
