Developed for: Technicians, including database administrators, systems programmers and operations support
Technical level: Intermediate
If your database and transaction management system can support the challenges of high-volume, Web-based processing — then you’re in pretty good shape. But when faced with the fast-changing demands of an evolving “on demand” business environment, even IBM IMS™ security, with its long-standing reputation for robust security, had to evolve to support modern workloads.
The future of security in IMS is one without Security Maintenance utility (SMU). Fortunately, Resource Access Control Facility (RACF®) and equivalent products offer a much wider range of security functions than the internal security features of IMS. Join us for this complimentary teleconference as we review the security implementations possible when IMS is used with RACF. We’ll cover the general RACF facilities, and its functions that can be implemented specifically for IMS. Attendees will come away with a good understanding of how to develop a rock-solid security strategy for IMS systems.
In this session, topics include:
- Migrating from IMS internal SMU security to RACF security
- Coding security definitions in IMS and RACF to protect transactions, commands and data
- Understanding installation-provided security exit routines
- Simplified security in testing and debugging environments
Speaker: Alan Cooper, IMS Specialist, IBM Europe
