Configuring the Adapter for IDMS/DB

How to:

Configure an Adapter

You can configure the Adapter for IDMS/DB from the Web Console or the Data Management Console.

The integrity of the IDMS/DB data source is not jeopardized because the adapter provides read-only access. Access to the data source is restricted by the security package in use on the z/OS system (such as RACF) and by the CA-IDMS/DB security features.

Both CA-IDMS/DB and the server provide security mechanisms to ensure that users have access to only those objects for which they have authorization.
