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.
As always, contact CA Technologies support for CA Jobtrac Job Management if your have further questions.
