XDB2
The XDB2 system initialization parameter specifies whether you want CICS® to perform DB2ENTRY security checking.
- XDB2={NO|name}
- Valid values are as follows:
- NO
- CICS does not perform any DB2® resource security checks.
- name
- CICS calls RACF®,
using the specified general resource class name, to check whether the userid associated with the CICS
DB2 transaction is authorized to access the DB2ENTRY
referenced by the transaction.
Unlike the other Xaaa system initialization parameters, this DB2 security parameter does not provide a YES option that implies a default CICS resource class name for DB2ENTRY resources. You have to specify your own DB2 resource class name.
For information on how resource security can provide a further level of security to transaction security, see Resource security for transactions.
