Title

The AUTOERAS GSO record value must be set to indicate that ACF2 is controlling the automatic physical erasure of VSAM or non VSAM data sets. (Cat II impact)

Discussion

The system-wide options control the default settings for determining how the ACP will function when handling requests for access to the operating system environment, ACP, and customer data. The ACP provides the ability to set a number of these fields at the subsystem level. If no setting is found, the system-wide defaults will be used. The improper setting of any one of these fields, individually or in combination with another, can compromise the security of the processing environment. In addition, failure to establish standardized settings for the ACP control options introduces the possibility of exposure during a migration process or contingency plan activation.

Refer to the following report produced by the ACF2 Data Collection: - ACF2CMDS.RPT(ACFGSO) Automated Analysis requires Additional Analysis. Refer to the following report produced by the ACF2 Data Collection: - PDI(ACF0270) If the GSO AUTOERAS record values conform to the following requirements, this is not a finding. All Systems: NON-VSAM VSAM VOLS(-)

Fix Text

The IAO must ensure that the AUTOERASE GSO value indicates that ACF2 is controlling the automatic physical erasure of VSAM or non VSAM data sets. Example: SET C(GSO) INSERT AUTOERAS NON-VSAM VSAM VOLS(-) F ACF2,REFRESH(AUTOERAS)
