Compuware Abend-AID Started Task name will be properly identified and/or defined to the system ACP.

Defining the started task as a userid to the system ACP allows the ACP to control the access and authorized users that require these capabilities. Failure to properly control these capabilities could compromise the operating system environment, ACP, and customer data.

Refer to the following report produced by the RACF Data Collection:
