Excerpt from manual:
1.3.1 External Security Installation Notes
The only transactions that can be defined with external security restrictions are marked in the member SPYJRDO (Z/OS) SPYJRDO.JCL (VSE). Search on "TRANSACTION SECURITY" to find the transactions that may be protected. The remaining transaction must not associate with any security.

All SPY transactions should be defined to the external security manager and allowed to run unattached to a terminal.
