Protecting CSMON and SYSPROG services


Misuse of the COMMON STORAGE MONITOR (CSMON) and SYSPROG 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 and CSMON:

Warning

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

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