Enabling and disabling security for CSMON

Because security for most MainView resources, including those resources for CSMON and SYSPROG services, is enabled by default, the following steps show you how to disable security for the CSMON services while leaving security intact for the SYSPROG services.

  1. Access the MainView for z/OS product running on the system on which you want to secure the SYSPROG and CSMON utilities.
  2. Display the SERDEF view by issuing the following command on the COMMAND line:
    SERDEF SUFFIX(nn)
    In this command, nn is the two-digit suffix of the security parameter library member that is being used by this instance of MainView for z/OS (the target PAS).

  3. When the SERDEF view is displayed, scroll the cursor down until the MVMVS Primary Action - CSMON and MVMVS Primary Action - SYSPROG resources are visible. (See the following figure.)

        MVMVS - Action - STOp a Monitor Set      Yes                               
        MVMVS Primary Action - SYSPROG           Yes

  4. On the COMMAND line, type EDIT and press Enter.
    This command causes the Edit mode status field on the window information line to change from (00 BROWSE ) to (00 EDIT ).

    Note

    You must be in Edit mode before you can enable or disable a resource.

  5. Move the cursor to the line command area of the MVMVS Primary Action - CSMON resource and type DISable, as shown in the following figure.

  6. Press Enter.
    Notice that the Enab field for the MainView for z/OS Primary Action - CSMON resource has changed from Yes to No, as shown in the following figure, and MOD now follows EDIT in the Edit mode status field on the window information line to indicate that a modification has been made.

  7. To save your change, type SAVE on the COMMAND line.

  8. To reinstate security for this resource, type E (Enable) in the line command area of the MVMVS Primary Action - CSMON resource.

    Note

    To enable or disable security simultaneously for both the MVMVS Primary Action - CSMON and MVMVS Primary Action - SYSPROG resources, you can enable or disable the Default - Primary Actions (All Views) resource, which provides high-level control over CSMON and SYSPROG services.
