Adding an Entry to the RACF Class - ironstream_for_micro_focus_omi - 7.2

The VP390 task or the task’s owning user requires a z/OS UNIX System Services (USS) segment. Because USS segments are associated with RACF-defined user IDs, you should add an identifying entry for VP390 to a RACF class to meet the USS requirement.

This addition allows the VP390 to run as a started task. If the VP390 is to be run as a submitted job, enter the user ID on the JOB card of the startup job.

To add an entry to the RACF class, follow these steps:

RLIST STARTED *

This command displays a list of entries for the STARTED class.

LU IBMUSER OMVS

IBMUSER) by entering the following:

RDEFINE STARTED VP390.VP390 STDATA(USER(IBMUSER) GROUP(SYS1))

Then refresh the class by entering the following:

SETROPTS RACLIST(STARTED) REFRESH

If the STARTED class is not activated, assign RACF identities to the started procedures. Incorporate the following sample into the ICHRIN03 job of SYS1.SAMPLIB(RACTABLE) Example:

RACF allows the started procedures table to contain a generic entry, indicated by an asterisk (* ) in the procedure-name field. When searching the table for a procedure-name match, if RACF finds a procedure name of "*" as the last entry in the table and the procedure name was not specifically matched by any other entry in the table, RACF uses the "*" entry as a match for the procedure.
