Issue/Introduction
Is there a way to secure access to JOBTRAC using RACF security instead of TRACAUTH?
Environment
Release: Component: JOBTRC
Resolution
CA Jobtrac Job Management uses the following methods to secure its use: --TRACAUTH table --TRACX26 user exit
You use only one of the methods for security. Regardless of the method you use, the TRACAUTH table is still used to do the following: -- Specify a name for a location (optional). -- Specify which users are notified of abends and error conditions.
For external security Jobtrac has a sample exit TRACX26. This exit is called by the Jobtrac ISPF dialog and by @JOBTRAC to verify a user's authority to view, update, add, delete, or purge Jobtrac information. You can control access to the following areas using the TRACX26 exit: --Events --Holiday and cyclic calendars --Global options --Online table services --CA Jobtrac captured sysout A sample of this exit is in your SAMPJCL library as member TRACX26. The sample exit TRACX26 has sample RACF definitions that can be used as a guideline for setting up the external security. Chapter 6 in the Reports, Maintenance, and Recovery Guide documents information on users exits.
