A Manual Procedure

Ensure that WRITE and/or greater access to CA 1 Tape Management installation data sets is limited to systems programmers only, and all WRITE and/or greater access is logged. READ access can be given to all authorized users.

The installing systems programmer will identify and document the product data sets and categorize them according to who will have WRITE and/or greater access and if required that all WRITE and/or greater access is logged. The installing systems programmer will identify if any additional groups have WRITE and/or greater 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.

The following is an example of the type of data sets to be protected:
SYS2.CA1.
