override the userid and password in the XA_OPEN string of a TXSeries region

 

TXSeries region does connect to the database using the user specified in the XAD.stanza when the cicsas comes up that  same user will be used by application programs throughout that process for all DB related queries. 

For security requirement need to invoke invoke SQL commands by using the userid logged onto cics region  in order DB2 uses authorization IDs to provide authorization checking of SQL statements. 

On Once the XA_OPEN is done to the DB2 database can a different userid be used when processing the SQL functions for the database?  Which essentially means each user logging onto the cics region would do their own XA_OPEN to the database or  override user specified on XA_OPEN . 

In that way  txseries region   will be  work similar of z/OS environment 

thanks

    Hi,

    Thank you for raising this idea. Currently, task initiation user exit does not work for DB2 for z/OS. After a thorough evaludation, we have decided not to pursue this request. As a result, we are closing this request at this time.

    We appreciate your input and continued support.

    Thank you.

    Thanks I've seen what  has been done for TXS-I-129  where you implemented Task Initiation user exit to support transaction user propagation to DB2. The task initiation user exit will be invoked for every user transaction just before starting the transaction. 
    Task initiation user exit can be used to configure DB2 trusted connection and propagate transaction user identity to DB2. 
    Refer /opt/ibm/cics/samples/userexit/ cicstrusted.README to configure user exit for DB2 identity propagation.

    In our  case we are working with  a database server that it is a  DB2 for z/OS 

    Does above Task Initiation user exit work to DB2 for z/OS ? 

    thanks  Anna

    The support of the transmission of userid  from TXSeries to DB2 is like  of the feature on  CICS TS   AUTHTYPE(USERID) both in DB2CONN and DB2ENTRY. I've seen this kind  of  request has been delivered  for TXS-I-129 .   Please could  you show me in with way ?    thanks  Anna
