Issue/Introduction

PTF SO07785 talks about TSS, but gets downloaded with ACF2/DB2.  Why?  Is it needed? 

Environment

Release : 1.3

Component : CA ACF2 Option for DB2

Cause

PTF SO07785 is part of the common code that ACF2/DB2 and TSS/DB2 share.

Resolution

The comments only mention Top Secret, but will work the same way with ACF2.  If you would like to use the enhancement, plase apply it.

IMPL AID TO OPTIONALLY PASS TSSDB2 CALLS ON TO NATIVE DB2                  

                                                                           

ENHANCEMENT DESCRIPTION:                                                   

As a conversion aid this maintenance will allow TSS/DB2 to process all     

security events and optionally pass them on to native DB2 for final        

verification.                                                              

                                                                           

All standard TSS security authorizations will be required to bring up      

the DB2 subsystem.  Once it is started you may run the CADB2TRC utility    

as follows:                                                                

                                                                           

//standard job card                                                        

//CADB2TRC EXEC PGM=CADB2TRC,                                              

//         PARM='CALLDB2=xxxx,SUBSYS=DB1B'                                 

                                                                           

The following parameters are valid for CALLDB2:                            

 CALLDB2=FAIL  Calls to native DB2 when TSS/DB2 would fail event           

 CALLDB2=SUCC  Calls to native DB2 when TSS/DB2 would pass event           

 CALLDB2=OFF   Turns of all calls to native DB2                            

                                                                           

Running this job should produce the following output in the job output     

and the SYSLOG: 

                                     

CADB2900 CALLDB2=xxxx,SUBSYS=ssss   


To turn the option off simply rerun the same job with the following     

PARM statement:                                                         

                                                                        

//         PARM='CALLDB2=OFF,SUBSYS=DB1B'
