In CA Teleview, the DYNAMIC internal application allows users to log on to any other VTAM application that may or may not be included in the CA-Teleview Main Menu panel. DYNAMIC is viewed as an open doorway to any VTAM session desired.

Resolution

You can use the A command to activate a new session using the VTAM Applid:

#A applid   (#=Cmdchar)

 

You can restrict which users are allowed to use the A command by the Command Class assigned to the user in their User Options.

The specifics for each class are defined within the Command Authorization Class (CMDT).

The VTAM applids should be secured using external security.
