Compuware Abend-AID offers external security interfaces that are controlled by parameters specified in FDBDPARM DD statement of the started task procedures. These interfaces provide security controls for Abend-AID. Without proper controls to ensure that security is active, the integrity of the Compuware Abend-AID System and the confidentiality of data stored on the system may be compromised.

Compuware Abend-AID installation datasets have the ability to use privileged functions and/or have access to sensitive data. Failure to properly restrict access to these datasets could result in violating the integrity of the base product, which could result in compromising the operating system or sensitive data.

Compuware Abend-AID STC datasets have the ability to use privileged functions and/or have access to sensitive data. Failure to properly restrict access to these datasets could result in violating the integrity of the base product which could result in compromising the operating system or sensitive data.

Compuware Abend-AID user datasets have the ability to use privileged functions and/or have access to sensitive data. Failure to properly restrict access to these datasets could result in violating the integrity of the base product, which could result in compromising the operating system or sensitive data.
V-224293

Compuware Abend-AID can run with sensitive system privileges, and potentially can circumvent system controls. Failure to properly control access to product resources could result in the compromise of the operating system environment, and compromise the confidentiality of customer data. Many utilities assign resource controls that can be granted to systems programmers only in greater than read authority. Resources are also granted to certain nonsystems personnel with read only authority.

Compuware Abend-AID requires a started task that will be restricted to certain resources, datasets, and other system functions. Defining the started task as a userid to the system ACP allows the ACP to control the access and authorized users that require these capabilities. Failure to properly control these capabilities could compromise the operating system environment, ACP, and customer data.
