Limited support

 

BMC provides limited support for this version of the product. As a result, BMC no longer accepts comments in this space. If you encounter problems with the product version or the space, contact BMC Support.

BMC recommends upgrading to the latest version of the product. To see documentation for that version, see BMC AMI Ops Infrastructure 7.1 Open link .

MainView products that run in a BBI-SS PAS

Resource names for the following products are defined on a BBI-SS PAS by BBI-SS PAS basis:
  • MainView AutoOPERATOR

  • MainView FOCAL POINT

  • MainView for CICS

  • MainView for DB2

  • MainView for DBCTL

  • MainView for IMS Online

The subsystem name is part of the resource name and determines the BBI-SS PAS for which the resource is secured. You must specify the BBI-SS PAS and target when defining a resource to your ESM.

The resource naming convention for these products is:

prefix.ssid.product.target.suffix

The resource name qualifiers are as follows:

Qualifier

Description

prefix

The one- to eight-character prefix that is used for all resource name

If you do not specify a prefix, the default prefix of BBM is added to all resource names automatically.

ssid

The one- to four-character subsystem ID of the BBI-SS PAS for which the resource is to be secured

The SSIDs are specified in BBPARM member BBIJNT00. You must include the SSID in the resource name.

product

One of the following product abbreviations:

  • BBI for common resources

  • AAO for MainView AutoOPERATOR resources

  • CICS for MainView for CICS resources

  • DBCTL for MainView for DBCTL resources

  • DMR for MainView for DB2 resources

  • FOCAL for MainView FOCAL POINT resources

  • MVIMS for

    MainView for IMS Online
    resources

target

The one- to eight-character target name (as displayed in the right corner of a MainView full-screen panel) that specifies to which target the action is directed

All valid target names are listed in BBPARM member BBIJNT00. You must include the target name in the resource name.

suffix

A predefined suffix that represents the actual function the resource represents

The remainder of this section lists the resource names, including the suffix for each resource. The suffix can consist of a BMC supplied portion and a user-specified portion.

When creating permits, profiles, and rules to control access to resources, an explicit or generic value can be specified for any qualifier in the resource name by using the masking characters supported by the ESM.

Example

An explicit resource name might look like this example:

BBM.BBCS.AAO.TARGET01.RULEREAD

A generic resource name with a RACF wildcard (*) used in the ssid qualifier might look like this example:

BBM.BB*.CICS.TARGET02.CONNECT.SESSIONS

If you plan to implement security for any of these products, the resources listed in the following table must be secured before you can implement security within each individual product. Use the information in the following figure to determine how securing a resource in one product might affect another product.

Not all resources are applicable to all products, so the third column in the following table lists which products use the resource.

Resources

To protect this resource

Description and resource name

Products affected

Accessing a common resources target

Accessing a specific target or targets

Resource name: prefix.ssid.BBI.target.ACCESS

Note: Securing this resource is a prerequisite to implementing security for any other resource in this table. Access to the BBI-SS PAS (or target) is always checked before access to a specific product resource is checked.

Resource checking during Application and Cycle Refresh

Remembering the verification of BBI-SS PAS resources for the life of an Application or Cycle Refresh session, until the refresh session is stopped

Defining this resource can reduce overall CPU consumption during a refresh session.

Normally, a security verification call is made for every invocation of an application during Application or Cycle Refresh. By defining the REFRESH resource and granting the PAS user ID READ access to it, authorization for the application will be remembered for the life of the refresh session. If security verification fails, the failed verification will also be remembered and the error message NOT AUTHORIZED will be issued each time the application panel is redisplayed.

Dynamic data set allocation of trace log data sets

Allowing the BBI-SS PAS to allocate trace log data sets dynamically for a user

Denying access specifies that the BBI-SS PAS is not to allocate the trace log data sets.

Trace logging can be requested only if trace log data sets are preallocated. If access is denied and a trace log data set does not exist, a request for trace logging will fail.

Note: Only a DISPOSITION of OLD is accepted for trace log data set allocation if access is denied.
