Hi, You could try using RACF to prevent the node being used.
>From the RACF Administrator's Guide: You can use profiles in the NODES class to control how RACF® validates inbound work on an NJE network. As with other RACF profiles, a NODES profile consists of a profile name, a profile class, a universal access authority, and an ADDMEM value. The profile name is a three-part identifier that indicates the origin of the work and the type of security information you want to validate. The universal access authority determines the actions that RACF performs on the inbound work.
