Step 2. RACF Security Definitions (Optional)

Note: To activate the IOA to XBM interface, XBM must be active and at least one of the following parameters: ZIIPXBMO, ZIIPXBMP, or ZIIPXBMA must be set to Y.

A RACF call is made by XBM on the initial request to determine if a user is authorized to perform the requested function. The following RACF profile is used:

BMCXBM.<XBM_SSID>.ZIIP

If this profile is not defined, permission will be granted. More detailed information can be found in the XBM documentation.

Step 2.1 Control-D Security Definitions

Select this step to edit member CTDSRAC2 in the IOA INSTWORK library

Perform the following steps to define the required permissions:

1. Associating users with Extended Definition mode.
   1. Add the following commands to define the $$CTDEDM entity and authorize users to use this entity.
   2. Define the entity $$CTDEDM.qname as follows:

      RDEFINE FACILITY $$CTDEDM.qname UACC(NONE)

   3. Authorize USERA to Extended Definition mode as follows:

      PERMIT $$CTDEDM.qname ID(USERA) CLASS(FACILITY) ACCESS(READ)

2. Submit the job for execution.

   This job must be run under a user who has authorization to enter these commands.

   Scan the output of the job for information and error messages. All job steps must end with a condition code of 0.
