|
|
<div><p>This system value determines whether or not to allow access to
|
|
shared memory, or use mapped memory stream files.</p>
|
|
<p>This controls how users, particularly application developers, use application
|
|
programmable interfaces (APIs) that deal with sharing memory or mapped memory
|
|
stream files. Your environment may contain applications, each running different
|
|
jobs, but sharing pointers within these applications. Using these APIs provides
|
|
for better application performance and streamlines the application development
|
|
by allowing shared memory and stream files among these different applications
|
|
and jobs. However, use of these APIs could potentially pose a risk to your
|
|
system and assets. A programmer would have write access and could add, change,
|
|
and delete entries in the shared memory or stream file.</p>
|
|
<p>See <a href="#sharemem__quickref">Table 2</a> for an overview
|
|
of the shared memory control system value. </p>
|
|
<p>The following table provides a description of each of the possible settings
|
|
for this system value:</p>

<p><span class="uicontrol">Relationship to security policy</span></p>
|
|
<p>In terms of your security policy, you need to weigh the need of application
|
|
performance with your need for security. If your company has applications
|
|
that use shared memory you should consider allowing programmers to use these
|
|
APIs. It makes application programming easier and more cost effective. However,
|
|
if your environment needs stricter security, it is recommended to limit this
|
|
capacity. </p>
