Environment

CA SYSVIEW - CA SYSVIEW for DB2 - CA Cross Enterprise APM

Cause

You want to configure PassTicket to provide seamless and secured access by CA Cross-Enterprise Application Performance Management (CA Cross-Enterprise APM) to CA SYSVIEW® Performance Management Option for DB2 for z/OS (CA SYSVIEW for DB2) data. The data enables an application support specialist, using CA Introscope®, to see the DB2 issues that affect an application.

CA Cross-Enterprise APM operates in a networked environment. PassTicket provides an enhanced security across a network. The networked entities can communicate without specific passwords or password phrases.

Resolution

IBM RACF:

Define a profile that associates a session key with DB2TOOLS:

RDEFINE PTKTDATA DB2TOOLS SSIGNON(KEYMASKED(session_key)) APPLDATA('NO REPLAY PROTECTION')

 

CA TOP SECRET:

Update the Node Descriptor Table (NDT) to associate a session key with DB2TOOLS:

TSS ADDTO(NDT) PSTKAPPL(DB2TOOLS) SESSKEY(session_key) SIGNMULTI

 

CA ACF2:

Associate a session key with DB2TOOLS:

SET PROFILE(PTKTDATA) DIVISION(SSIGNON)

INSERT DB2TOOLS SSKEY(session_key) MULT-USE
