3.3.3 Securing Services

Complete the following tasks to enable the service security feature.

1. Set up transaction security through the mainframe with the security administrator.
2. Specify OTMASECURITY=Y in the SYSTEM statement of your TMA TCP for IMS configuration file.
3. Set the security flag for each local service using the SECURITY parameter in SERVICE TYPE=LOCAL statement. For parameter information, refer Defining Local Services.
4. Issue the /SEC OTMA PROFILE command in IMS to enable security checking on a service by service basis for the OTMA interface. Issue the /SEC OTMA FULL command in IMS to enable security checking on all services.

   WARNING: If SECURITY=N in the SERVICE TYPE=LOCAL statement for any local service definition, issue /SEC OTMA PROFILE. A security failure results if you specify SECURITY=N and issue /SEC OTMA FULL command.
