Discussion

CA MIM Resource Sharing offers external security interfaces that are controlled by parameters specified in the MIMINIT member in the MIMPARMS DD statement of the started task procedures. These interfaces provide security controls for CA MIM. Without proper controls to ensure that security is active, the integrity of the CA MIM Resource Sharing System and the confidentiality of data stored on the system may be compromised.

Check Content

Refer to the contents of MIMINIT member of the data set(s) specified in the MIMPARMS DD statement of the started task procedures.
