| Component | Security |
|---|---|
| Teradata Database | Teradata server user ID and password authenticate the authority of an ARCMAIN job to back up or restore specific data on the Teradata Database. It is possible to grant a Teradata user DUMP, RESTORE, and CHECKPOINT privileges, but not the authority to select or modify particular database objects.
|
| Windows Operating System | Windows operating system user ID and password launch ARCMAIN. |
| Tivoli Storage Manager | The TSM administrative user ID and password associate default storage management policies to a job and authenticate that a given job can restore particular data. Refer to the relevant Teradata and Tivoli documentation for administrative setup procedures that avoid storing passwords in the configuration files or scripts. For a list of those documents, see Additional Information. |
