Remediation - Manual Procedure
Ensure that update and alter access to BMC CONTROL-M User/Application JCL data sets are limited to BMC CONTROL-M administrators only. Update access can be given to the Production Control and Scheduling personnel and/or BMC CONTROL-M's STC(s) and/or BMC CONTROL-M's batch user(s). Read access can be given to auditors and automated batch user(s).
The installing Systems Programmer will identify and document the product data sets and categorize them according to who will have update and alter access and if required that all update and allocate access is logged.
The installing Systems Programmer will identify if any additional groups have update and/or alter access for specific data sets, and once documented will work with the ISSO to see that they are properly restricted to the ACP (Access Control Program) active on the system.
