    This section outlines how you can protect IMS™ resources that can be accessed through ZDT/IMS functions.
    - Controlling access to databases by ZDT/IMS functions
      Security administrators can control the access that users have to databases when using ZDT/IMS functions.
    - Controlling access to IMS™ subsystems and ZDT/IMS functions
    - Resource access security and AGN security considerations
      Resource access security (RAS) prevents an application program that is running in a dependent region from using IMS™ resources unless it is authorized to do so.
    - RACF® PADS security considerations
      Program Access to Data Sets (PADS) allows users or groups of users to access data sets with higher authority than they would normally have, but only while running a specified program.

  - Avoiding resource contention
  - IMS™ management of ACBs
    This topic describes how ZDT/IMS operates when IMS™ is configured to manage the runtime application control blocks (ACBs).
  - Templates
    ZDT/IMS uses templates to format database segments into their individual fields. One template is required for each database.

Controlling access to IMS™ subsystems and ZDT/IMS functions

Through the IMS™ subsystem and ZDT/IMS Database Access Control facility you can control access to these resources:

The update or read-only functions
Individual ZDT/IMS functions
Individual IMS™ subsystems by the update or read-only functions
Individual IMS™ subsystems by individual functions

A number of functions in ZDT/IMS are protected by default. They are listed in Protected ZDT/IMS Functions. If you want to use these functions, you must give your users access to them using RACF® (or an equivalent security product).

For more information, see IMS subsystems and ZDT/IMS functions access control facility.
