Error description
Currently, in order to customize Command Authorization Table (CAT) definitions for the NetView product, users must edit shipped sample CNMSCAT2. This causes users to have to edit it each time the sample changes. The sample should include a member for users to add their own definitions.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of Tivoli NetView for z/OS V6R2M1 * * who use the Command Authorization Table * * (CAT) sample CNMSCAT2 for command security. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Shipped sample CNMSCAT2 does not * * include a user-modifiable member. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** If shipped sample CNMSCAT2 is being used as the NetView Command Authorization Table, if customizations are to be made to the member, the member itself must be edited. This means that any future maintenance that includes CNMSCAT2 will over-write the changes made by the customer.
