New CICSPlex SM system parameters

You use CICSPlex® system parameters to identify or alter CICSPlex SM attributes. These parameters are specified in the extrapartition transient data queue COPR. The parameters can be assigned to a DD * file, sequential data set, or a partitioned data set member. The DD name for the extrapartition transient data queue is EYUPARM.

New CICSPlex SM system parameters in CICS Transaction Server for z/OS, Version 4 Release 2

MASTASKPROT={YES | NO}

The MASTASKPROT system initialization parameter was available as a PTF for CICS® TS for z/OS®, Version 4.2. It controls whether the CICSPlex SM API, Web User Interface (WUI), and CICS Management Client Interface (CMCI) are allowed to perform actions or set attribute values for CICSPlex SM MAS agent tasks with transaction IDs COIE, COI0, CONA, or CONL.

If NO is specified, users of the CICSPlex SM API, WUI, and CMCI are allowed to FORCEPURGE or modify attribute values for CICSPlex SM MAS agent tasks.

If YES is specified, CICSPlex SM validates the transaction ID of all tasks before allowing actions to be performed, or attribute values to be modified for active tasks.
