Bah humbug redux! Same mediocre programmer needed (me again). Slight twist in that the security system outsources the data store to SMF. Trivial for Top Secret, merely easy in RACF.
Did it last night, in the dark hours.....Fortunately our auditors only work in the daylight, but other interested parties do join us for late night hijinks. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rick Fochtman Sent: Tuesday, April 10, 2007 1:13 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Security Packages Percentages --------------------<snip>-------------------- Bah humbug, any mediocre programmer (me for instance) can write every RACF report ever wanted. Freeware (Nigel's collection....and others) abounds. These require some knowledge of the IRRDBU00 file and some basic DF/SORT skills. I wrote a bunch of SAS stuff years ago but I'll changing most over to DFSORT, exploiting SPLICE and other goodies Mr. Yeager provides. OBTW, same comment applies for Top Secret, the extract files from that product and RACF are remarkably similar. ------------------<unsnip>---------------------- I respectfully disagree. The contents of the database can be reported, as you say, by re-formatting the IRRDBU00 output. That doesn't help much when senior management calls you at ooooo-dark-thirty in the morning and wants to know who's been updating a particular control PDS since 3:00 PM yesterday. Or who invoked a particularly destructive CICS transaction and clobbered several hundred customer-related account records. Reporting database contents is wonderful, especially when auditors show up, but those audit trails in SMF are also important, especially to a fiduciary and the inability to generate reports from those audit trails might be a career-limiting condition. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
