RMTCMD Security Considerations

NetView RMTCMD is used to communicate with remote domains (that is, gateway connected domains outside the system or sysplex where the TWS Controller is running).

RMTCMD will be used if TWS Automation is controlling applications on a remote domain and recovery is required for the TWS Automation-controlled operations after the remote system or gateway has failed.

The operator IDs for OPCAMSTR and OPCAOPR2 (AUTOPCP and AUTOPCE or user specified operator ID) must have the appropriate NetView or RACF® authority to use RMTCMD on the local system (that is, the system running the TWS Controller). NetView or RACF definitions may also be required on the remote systems. For more details about the NetView or RACF security implications when using RMTCMD please refer to the Tivoli NetView Security Reference.
