Start the ISPF interface - connect_cdc_sqdata

The z/OS ISPF interface is an administration tool that allows you to configure, administer, and monitor z/OS capture agents, publishers, subscriptions, and controller daemons. The application includes a set of online help panels to assist you as necessary. Visit Support if you have any questions or would like a demo of the interface.

Start ISPF interface
The syntax to invoke the ISPF interface from TSO option 6 is:
```
EXEC 'SQDATA.V4nnnnn.ISPFLIB(SQDC$STA)' 'SQDATA.V4nnnnn'
```
Where the first argument is the fully qualified name of the start module SQDC$STA and the second argument is the high-level qualifier of the SQDATA ISPF library. You can change your load library and other defaults values in Defaults option 0 (see below).
To create a REXX exec to invoke the ISPF interface, simply create a new exec member with the following contents.
```
/* --------------------- REXX procedure ---------------------- */
            EXEC “'SQDATA.V4nnnnn.ISPFLIB(SQDC$STA)' 'SQDATA.V4nnnnn'”
```
Security Requirements
The ISPF interface is intended to be used for administration as well as snapshot monitoring. The following security access is required to use the ISPF interface.
- Read/write access to the ZFS directories that contain capture/publisher cab files and daemon files
- Read access to any z/OS Logstreams (option 5) that you want to browse
- The documentation and help for the Connect CDC (SQData) ISPF interface is contained online within the ISPF interface.
  Note: For the Logstreams (option 5), you must have the program IXCMIAPU added to your authorized program names in the IKJTSOxx member in SYS1.PARMLIB. You also need read access to the Logstreams to view statistics.
