Discussion

NetView requires a started task(s) that will be restricted to certain resources, data sets, and other system functions. Defining the started task as a userid to the system ACP allows the ACP to control the access and authorized users that require these capabilities. Failure to properly control these capabilities could compromise the operating system environment, ACP, and customer data.

Check Content

Refer to the following report produced by the RACF Data Collection:

- RACFCMDS.RPT(LISTUSER).

Verify that the userid(s) for the NetView started task(s) is (are) properly defined. If the following attributes are defined, this is not a finding.

PROTECTED

Fix Text

The NetView systems programmer and the ISSO will ensure that the product's Started Task(s) is properly Identified/defined to the System ACP. 

Most installation manuals will indicate how the Started Task is identified and any additional attributes that must be specified.
