Protecting CSMON and BMC AMI Ops SYSPROG Services


Misuse of the COMMON STORAGE MONITOR (CSMON) and BMC AMI Ops SYSPROG Services utilities can be potentially destructive to your system, so access to these two utilities is usually restricted to a select group of users.

The following sections explain how to secure services of 

SYSPROG Services

 and CSMON:

Warning

SYSPROG Services and CSMON services can be accessed through OpsM for z/OS, through TSO as line commands, and in batch jobs and Started Tasks. To secure these services absolutely, you must secure SYSPROG Services by using the BBSEC member in SYS1.PARMLIB (the built-in BBX SAF interface).

For complete instructions about securing OpsM for z/OS components, including information about writing your own user exit to further customize your security scheme, see Managing security for BMC AMI Ops products.
