Issue/Introduction

If you use ACF2 for external IDMS security, ACF2 security definitions are necessary to allow canceling a task running on a remote IDMS CV.

Environment

Release: All supported releases.

Resolution

Note : All of the following definitions are examples and can vary by installation. Other parameters can be selected for auditing, performance and other installation-specific needs.

Follow these steps:

1. Define the CA@IDMSI resource class.
   
   Example :
   ACF
   SET CONTROL(GSO)
   INSERT CLASMAP.IDMSI RESOURCE(CA@IDMSI) RSRCTYPE(IDM) ENTITYLN(22)
   
   
2. Grant permissions and refresh the class.
   
   Example :
   ACFNRULE KEY(TASK) TYPE(IDM) ADD(SYSTEM##.OPER UID(userid) SERVICE(UPDATE) ALLOW)
   F ACF2,REFRESH(CLASMAP)
   
   
3. Secure the task code that processes external request units (RHDCNP3S or alternative task codes) to allow canceling a remote task on behalf of a batch program running against the CV.
   
   Note : For more information about external run unit task codes, see CA IDMS System Generation Guide and CA IDMS System Operations Guide.
