Cleanup obsolet (DB2xxxxx) permissions

  • 1.  Cleanup obsolet (DB2xxxxx) permissions

    Hi Top-Secret Admins,

     

    I'm busy to cleanup obsolet permissions and I find CLEANUP tool for eTrust Top Secret very useful for this task.

     

    Nevertheless if a permission is not used for some time, it's not sure that the permission is not needed any more.

     

    My consideration is, that if behind a particular (perhaps even 'masked') permission no ressource exists (any more), also the permission is very likely obsolet (except the ressource will exist (again) in the future).

     

    For example: To check a "longer-not-used" permission to datasets, ISPF-LMDxxxx services can be used. If LMDINIT does not return datasetsname for a given pattern, this permission can be revoked with little-risk.....

     

    • Does anyone have experience to check db2-ressources (e.g. DB2TABLE) and to cleanup permissions, if no ressource exists  which corresponds to the pattern of the permission ?
    • Are there tools to do this check?
    • Could rexx+DSNREXX help to create a pragmatic solution?
    • Is anybody interested to work together/share for a pragmatic solution?
