Security considerations for the RECON data sets

Jobs that update the RECON data sets must have UPDATE authority to the RECON data sets.

For jobs that require read-only access, READ authority should be used. With parallel access, the job that issues the CHANGE.RECON ACCESS command must have ALTER authority. When parallel access is being used, the online-IMS DBRC regions should have ALTER authority.
