Title
CA VTAPE Started Task name is not properly identified/defined to the system ACP. (Cat II impact)
Discussion
CA VTAPE requires a started task that will be restricted to certain resources, datasets and other system functions. By defining the started task as a userid to the system ACP, It allows the ACP to control the access and authorized users that require these capabilities. Failure to properly control these capabilities, could compromise of the operating system environment, ACP, and customer data.

If the product requires a Started Task, verify that it is properly defined to the System ACP with the proper attributes. Most installation manuals will indicate how the Started Task is identified and any additional attributes that must be specified. Example: SET LID INSERT SVTS STC NO-SMC INSERT SVTSAS STC NO-SMC
