Security Settings for Data from z/OS Sources

For the highest level of security for data from z/OS data sources, set the SECURITY option to 2 in the z/OS DBMOVER configuration member where the extraction maps are located. With this setting, PowerCenter CDC sessions are permitted to extract z/OS data from PowerExchange Logger for Linux, UNIX, and Windows log files only if their user credentials pass z/OS security checking.

When defining a PWXPC connection for the CDC sessions that extract data from the PowerExchange Logger log files, enter a valid z/OS user ID and password in the

Map Location User

and

Map Location Password

connection attributes. If the location of the log files is not local, enter the z/OS user ID and password in the

User Name

and

Password

connection attributes for use by the PowerExchange Listener on the Linux, UNIX, or Windows system where the log files reside.

For data extraction, these z/OS user credentials must have the following permissions:

READ access to the PowerExchange data set that is defined in the DTLCAMAP DD statement of the PowerExchange Listener JCL

READ access to CAPX.CND.* resource profiles in the FACILITY class, which are managed by your z/OS security product.
