The Control Editor

The Control Editor (TCE) is designed to establish and maintain best practices for an institution to enforce Infrastructure Administration controls.
Some of these best practices which can be automatically performed by TCE would be to always create a backup of critical components when changed and maintain history and versions for each change. Provide and enforce a method of consistent documentation for change activity. Create a persistent method of notification when action is taken that may change the definition or running (dynamic) values of z/OS LPAR and sub-systems.

TCE also provides additional controls beyond those provided by traditional External Security products, which allow for the requirements of Dependency Mapping and Excessive Access Checking (NIST SP 800-207). TCE can be the central tool in any Security policy enforcement for critical z/OS datasets, Load Libraries and UNIX files.
