XTRAN
The XTRAN system initialization parameter specifies whether you want CICS® to perform transaction-attach security checking and optionally specifies the RACF® resource class name in which you have defined the transaction security profiles.
- XTRAN={YES|name|NO}
- You can specify the XTRAN parameter in the SIT, PARM, or SYSIN only. If you
specify YES, or a RACF resource class name, CICS calls RACF to verify that the
userid associated with the transaction is permitted to run the transaction. Note: The checking is performed only if you have specified YES for the SEC system initialization parameter.
- YES
- CICS calls RACF, using the default CICS resource class name of CICSTRN prefixed by T or G, to verify that the userid associated with the transaction is authorized to run the transaction. The resource class name is TCICSTRN and the grouping class name is GCICSTRN.
- name
- CICS calls RACF,
using the specified resource class name prefixed by T or G, to verify that the userid associated
with the transaction is authorized to run the transaction. The resource class name is
Tname and the corresponding grouping class name is
Gname.
The name specified must be 1 through 7 characters.
- NO
- CICS does not perform any transaction-attach security checks, allowing any user to run any transaction.
