Issue/Introduction
Why is CA Datacom Multi-User (MUF) startup now showing message:
DB00270W - ACCESS TO DATACOM TABLES NOT PROTECTED BY EXTERNAL SECURITY
Environment
z/OS
Resolution
The DB00270W message was an enhancement provided for customers who required a positive message to note that no external security is executing for the Datacom MUF being enabled.
The DB00270W message is informational.
In this case, the customer has an external security package (CA Top Secret) and had chosen not to turn on external security in the Datacom Multi-User.
