HLSCOM Security Secure HLSCOM as appropriate for normal operations. The sensitive commands
(ABEND and ABORT) are under control of the SNAX/HLS process. Production
operators, system programmers, and system-capacity planners need access to
HLSCOM. If the SNAX/HLS process is executing in an Expand network, set
execution security as appropriate to network operation.
RDT Security Secure file access for the RDT files in accordance with installation policy for network
definition. Set the file security of the RDT compiler (HLSRDT) and the RDT definition
files (input and output of the compiler) to values that allow system programmers to
alter definitions but prohibit the operators from doing so. See Section 4, “Using the
HLSRDT Utility” for more information.
Modifying the Message
File (HLSMSGS)
The HLSMSGS file provides a central place for:
The natural-language text corresponding to verb return codes
The retry action codes for each verb return code
The natural-language text corresponding to each SNA sense code
The retry action codes returned on RC-SEND-CHECK and RC-REQUEST-REJECT
responses, as a function of the specific SNA sense code
The retry action codes returned on RC-FILE-ERROR responses as a function of the
specific file-system error code
Indicating whether negative responses should be logged, cause an EMS event to be
generated (and if so to which EMS collector), or both, as a function of the specific
SNA sense code.
Indicating whether internally detected SNAX/HLS events should be logged, cause
an EMS event to be generated (and if so to which EMS collector), or both.
Note The HLSMSGS file is considered part of the SNAX/HLS product. Future releases of SNAX/HLS might
invalidate existing copies of HLSMSGS. Therefore, if modifications are introduced into HLSMSGS, a new
product release might require their reintroduction.
