XTRAN

XTRAN={YES|name|NO}

You can specify the XTRAN parameter in the SIT, PARM, or SYSIN only. If you specify YES, or a RACF resource class name, CICS calls RACF to verify that the userid associated with the transaction is permitted to run the transaction.

Note: The checking is performed only if you have specified YES for the SEC system initialization parameter.

YES

CICS calls RACF, using the default CICS resource class name of CICSTRN prefixed by T or G, to verify that the userid associated with the transaction is authorized to run the transaction. The resource class name is TCICSTRN and the grouping class name is GCICSTRN.

name

CICS calls RACF, using the specified resource class name prefixed by T or G, to verify that the userid associated with the transaction is authorized to run the transaction. The resource class name is Tname and the corresponding grouping class name is Gname.

The name specified must be 1 through 7 characters.

NO

CICS does not perform any transaction-attach security checks, allowing any user to run any transaction.
