XPPT
The XPPT system initialization parameter specifies that CICS is to perform application program resource security checks and optionally specifies the RACF resource class name in which you have defined the program resource security profiles.
- XPPT={YES|name|NO}
- You can specify the XPPT parameter in the SIT, PARM,
or SYSIN only. Checking is performed every time a transaction
tries to invoke another program by using one of the CICS commands: LINK, LOAD,
or XCTL. Note: The checking is performed only if you have specified YES for the SEC system initialization parameter and specified the RESSEC(YES) option on the resource definitions.
- YES
- CICS calls RACF, using the default resource class name prefixed by M or N, to verify that the userid associated with a transaction is authorized to use LINK, LOAD, or XCTL commands to invoke other programs. The resource class name is MCICSPPT and the grouping class name is NCICSPPT.
- name
- CICS calls RACF, with the specified resource class name prefixed by M
or N, to verify that the userid associated with a transaction is authorized
to use LINK, LOAD, or XCTL commands to invoke other programs. The resource
class name is Mname and the grouping class name
is Nname.
The resource class name specified must be 1 through 7 characters.
- NO
- CICS does not perform any application program authority checks, allowing any user to use LINK, LOAD, or XCTL commands to invoke other programs.
