PowerExchange checks PowerExchange-specific resource profiles to determine whether to permit Datacom data map creation and subsequent read access to Datacom tables. For this security checking to occur, you must specify 2 as the value of the first parameter of the SECURITY statement in the DBMOVER configuration file. PowerExchange then uses the MVS System Authorization Facility (SAF) interface to check access to the resource profiles.

By default, PowerExchange checks resource profiles in the FACILITY class. Use the RACF_CLASS parameter in the DBMOVER configuration file to specify a different class for checking security profiles. If you specify a different class, it must be defined in RACF or the security product you use, with a resource name that has a maximum length of 8 bytes.
