The EGL Security Manager is software that provides a host
name, user ID, and password for use during the automatic preparation
of COBOL programs. Typically, only one Security Manager process runs
on a given machine.
Consider these variations:
- If you generate output from the workstation and set the prep build
descriptor option to YES, the Security Manager starts automatically,
if it is not already running. The Security Manager then retrieves
the host, user ID, and password information from the build descriptor
and writes the data to the build plan.
- If you generate output from the EGLCMD or EGLSDK command when
the prep build descriptor option is set
to YES, the Security Manager is necessary but is not started automatically.
To avoid a hang when the command ends, you must ensure that the Security
Manager is running before you invoke the first command. In this case,
the source of the host name, user ID, and password is a command file
or build descriptor or, overriding that content, the command itself.
- If you prepare output from the EGLPREP command, the Security Manager
is necessary but is not started automatically. In this case, you must
ensure that the Security Manager is running before you invoke the
first EGLPREP command. No build descriptor is involved, and you must
load the Security Manager with the required data.
The tasks are as follows:
- To start the Security Manager, run the following command:
java com.ibm.etools.egl.distributedbuild.security.CCUconfig
A
dialog is displayed.
- To load data into the Security Manager, as is appropriate only
in relation to the EGLPREP command, type data into the Client
items tab.
