Re: Vendor wants an SST profile

Wait, QEDD really needs sst access. IIRC it's due to the funky MI things
that it does that are even above QSECOFR level (I mean that in the sense
that not even QSECOFR has access to their objects and you cannot
save/restore a QEDD installation properly, you need to reinstall from
savf). Do remember that QEDD works with journals but instead of sending the
entire journal it takes what it wants from the journal and sends only that
and on the receiver system it also does funky things to take that data and
apply it to the changed objects.

I don't remember using D/A/D access during setup, but we did use the
service QSECOFR to install. After that there was no more need to do
anything SST related. At least on both of our customers running QEDD...
Weird thing is the provider asking for multiple users and every last one of
them with that access. Maybe it's for audit purposes?

I have several customers that run that software, some even supported by
BCS, that do not allow that type of access, in fact none that I am ware of
do. They don't have a legitimate reason for it.

Absolutely denied.

The vendor is QEDD, but the partner is BCS. And it's the partner who is

demanding the access. They want full access user profiles and SST access.
And its not like they just want a runtime profile with God access, they
want every one of their support accounts to have it as well. As in "As a
general warning, any changes to the profile from the documents
specifications may have unexpected results."

The more hear, the less I like.

Who’s the vendor? I’ve not had that request before except from IBM

then only when we are on a support call together.

Sounds questionable to me.
