BBSEC TYPE statements

The format of the BBSEC TYPE statement varies depending on the product or products that you want to secure.

Syntax for common resources

This variation of the TYPE statement is used for BBI-SS PAS resources that are common to the following products:

  • MainView AutoOPERATOR

  • MainView FOCAL POINT

  • MainView for CICS

  • MainView for DB2

  • MainView for DBCTL

  • MainView for IMS Online

  • MainView for MQ

TYPE=product,SS=ssid[,PREFIX=prefix][,CLASS=name]

Syntax for MainView AutoOPERATOR advanced security and MainView for DB2 command-level security

This variation of the TYPE statement is used to activate security for additional MainView AutoOPERATOR and MainView for DB2 features.

TYPE=[AAO|DB2],SS=ssid,FEATURE=(feature,...)

Syntax rules

Observe the following syntax rules when creating or updating a BBSEC member:

  • Each TYPE statement and its parameters can be specified in positions 1 to 72 on one or more lines.

  • To continue a TYPE statement on the next line, put a comma at the end of the line to be continued.

  • Do not break multi-value keywords across lines. For example, FEATURE=(CMD,APPL,EXEC) must appear on a single line.

  • Specify comments on separate lines with an asterisk (*) in column 1. Comments are not supported on the same line as a TYPE statement.

  • BMC supports the use of system symbols. For example, you can use SS=AO&SYSCLONE where the SSID is consists of AO followed by the resolved value of &SYSCLONE.

    • When using a symbol name within a TYPE statement, end the symbol name with a period. For example, TYPE=BBI,SSID=JO8D,PREFIX=JA&SYSCLONE.,FEATURE=(BBIDISP,CONSCMD)
    • PROCESS LIST=YES can be used as the first statement in the BBSEC member. When the BBI-SS PAS processes the BBSEC member and a PROCESS statement is found, the BBI-PAS issues WTOs listing the lines as they are read, showing the resolved system symbols. Valid values for LIST are YES or NO. NO is the default.

TYPE statement parameters

The following table describes the BBSEC TYPE statement parameters:

Parameter

Description

TYPE

Activates security for the specified product or group of products

You can specify as many TYPE statements as needed in a BBSEC member. Specify one of the following products on each TYPE statement:

  • BBI

    Activates security for resources that are common to:

    • MainView AutoOPERATOR

    • MainView FOCAL POINT

    • MainView for CICS

    • MainView for DB2

    • MainView for DBCTL

    • MainView for IMS Online

    • MainView for MQ

    A TYPE=BBI statement is required for these products.

  • AAO

    Activates additional security for MainView AutoOPERATOR commands, applications, EXECs, ALERTs, and parameter data, as described in MainView AutoOPERATOR advanced security format='dita' scope='local' type='topic'

    TYPE=BBI is also required in the same BBSEC member.

  • CICS

    Activates additional security for the resources described in MainView for CICS and MainView AutoOPERATOR for CICS

    TYPE=BBI is also required in the same BBSEC member.

  • DB2

    Activates additional security for the resources described in Additional resources for MainView for DB2

    TYPE=BBI is also required in the same BBSEC member.

  • DB2HVAR (PTFs BPD4883 and BQU2473 applied)

    Activates additional security for SQL host variable data, as described in Additional resources for MainView for DB2

SS or SSID

One- to four-character subsystem ID of the BBI-SS PAS where the specified resources are to be protected

The SSID is part of the resource name that defines resources to your ESM.

Each SSID that is used in a resource name must be specified on a separate TYPE statement in BBSEC.

SS= or SSID= can use wildcards for the ssid

  • An asterisk matches any or no characters. For example, SS=* would match all PAS SSIDs.
  • A plus sign, represents any one character. For example, SS=AO+ would match any SSID that starts with AO and is three characters in length. The third character can be any character.

SS=AO* would match any SSID that starts with AO and can be two to four characters in length. The third and fourth character can exist or not, and if they exist they can be any character. 

PREFIX

(Optional) One- to eight-character prefix for all MainView product resource names

The default is BBM.

CLASS

(Optional) One- to eight-character security class name that is used to identify MainView product resources

The default is $BOOLE.

FEATURE

Specify one or more keywords.

  • The FEATURE parameter and its keywords must be specified on a single line.
  • Separate multiple keywords by a comma and enclose all keywords in parentheses.
  • For MainView for DB2 (TYPE=DB2), specify CMD for DB2 command-level security.

  • For MainView AutoOPERATOR (TYPE=AAO), specify one or more of the following values:

    • CMD for command and transaction security.

    • APPL for application security.

    • EXEC for EXEC security.

    • ALRTEXEC for ALERT follow-up EXEC security.

    • ALRT for ALERTs security.

    • PARM for parameter member security.

    • IMSGEN for IMS generic commands security (requires CMD).
