Re: iASP security [PRIVATE REPLY]

To support installing an LPP's objects into an IASP, you must code IBM-supplied exit programs that work with those software packaging APIs and the RSTLICPGM command, and these exits are not very well-documented.

The process is even worse when creating, loading and applying PTFs for your own LPPs. All LPP objects to be PTFed _must exist_ in *SYSBAS. Then, you have to use a PTF exit program to optionally replicate some or all of those objects into one or more IASPs -- but, this hardly what I would call /a trivial exercise/ by any stretch of the imagination.

Mark,

True an LPP has to exist in *SYSBAS but that does not stop that same LPP
from installing whatever it would like into an iASP. So put the minimum set
of objects in *SYSBAS needed and restore everything else into an iASP. PTF
application can be done the same way. You cite a restriction that is
trivial.
