Discussion

Failure to use a robust ACP to control a product could potentially compromise the integrity and availability of the MVS operating system and user data.

Check Content

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

- TSSCMDS.RPT(#RDT).

If the BMC Mainview for z/OS Resource Class(es) is (are) defined in the Resource Definition Table (RDT) as follows, this is not a finding.

  RESOURCE CLASS = class
   RESOURCE CODE = X'hex code'
       ATTRIBUTE = MASK|NOMASK,MAXOWN(08),MAXPERMIT(044),ACCESS,DEFPROT
          ACCESS = NONE(0000),CONTROL(0400),UPDATE(6000),READ(4000)
          ACCESS = WRITE(2000),ALL(FFFF)
          DEFACC = READ

Fix Text

The ISSO will ensure the BMC Mainview for z/OS resource class(es) is (are) defined in the TSS RDT.
 
(Note: The RESCLASS and/or RESCODE identified below are examples of a possible installation. The actual RESCLASS and/or RESCODE values are determined when the product is actually installed on a system through the product's installation guide and can be site specific.)

Use the following commands as an example:

TSS ADDTO(RDT) RESCLASS(BMCVIEW) -
RESCODE(3B) DEFACC(READ) -
ATTR(MASK|NOMASK,DEFPROT,LONG,GENERIC) -
ACLST(NONE,READ,UPDATE,ALL)
