DB2 for z/OS authorization prerequisites

The following storage group, database, and buffer pool GRANT permissions are provided by default in the createDatabase.sql file, for the WebSphere administrator that is identified by the @DB_USER@ symbolic variable. This file is provided as a template with symbolic variables when you install the product. After you run the BPMConfig script, a copy of createDatabase.sql is added to the subdirectories that are created for your database scripts, with relevant substitutions for the symbolic variables.

GRANT USE OF STOGROUP   @STOGRP@     TO  @DB_USER@ WITH GRANT OPTION;
GRANT DBADM ON DATABASE @DB_NAME@    TO  @DB_USER@;
GRANT USE OF ALL BUFFERPOOLS         TO  @DB_USER@;

The following GRANT permission might be required to permit the @DB_USER@ user to create sequences and stored procedures with a schema qualifier of @SCHEMA@:

GRANT CREATEIN,ALTERIN,DROPIN ON SCHEMA @SCHEMA@ TO @DB_USER@ WITH GRANT OPTION;

The following permissions are also required:

GRANT CREATE ON COLLECTION @SCHEMA@ TO @DB_USER@;
GRANT BINDADD TO @DB_USER@;

If you are planning to use DB2 for z/OS V10, additional permissions are required for views in the database:

• Before you run the SQL to define views, you might need to set the DBACRVW subsystem parameter to YES.

  This setting ensures that WebSphere administrator IDs with DBADM authority on database @DB_NAME@ can create views for other user IDs.

• On DB2 for z/OS V10, the WebSphere administrator ID must be specifically granted access to views, because access is not implicitly granted to users with DBADM authority on the database. Individual GRANT statements or a Resource Access Control Facility (RACF®) group can be used to provide access to views in DB2 for z/OS V10. Ask your DB2 for z/OS administrator to provide this access by using either of the following methods:
  • Issue an explicit GRANT statement for each view. For example, the following sample GRANT statements can be issued for user ID WSADMIN:

    GRANT DELETE,INSERT,SELECT,UPDATE ON TABLE S1CELL.ACTIVITY TO WSADMIN WITH GRANT OPTION;
    GRANT DELETE,INSERT,SELECT,UPDATE ON TABLE S1CELL.ACTIVITY_ATTRIBUTE TO WSADMIN WITH GRANT OPTION;
    GRANT DELETE,INSERT,SELECT,UPDATE ON TABLE S1CELL.ACTIVITY_SERVICE TO WSADMIN WITH GRANT OPTION;
    GRANT DELETE,INSERT,SELECT,UPDATE ON TABLE S1CELL.APPLICATION_COMP TO WSADMIN WITH GRANT OPTION;
    GRANT DELETE,INSERT,SELECT,UPDATE ON TABLE S1CELL.AUDIT_LOG TO WSADMIN WITH GRANT OPTION;
    GRANT DELETE,INSERT,SELECT,UPDATE ON TABLE S1CELL.AUDIT_LOG_B TO WSADMIN WITH GRANT OPTION;
    GRANT DELETE,INSERT,SELECT,UPDATE ON TABLE S1CELL.BUSINESS_CATEGORY TO WSADMIN WITH GRANT OPTION;
    GRANT DELETE,INSERT,SELECT,UPDATE ON TABLE S1CELL.BUSINESS_CATEGORY_LDESC TO WSADMIN WITH GRANT OPTION;
    GRANT DELETE,INSERT,SELECT,UPDATE ON TABLE S1CELL.ESCALATION TO WSADMIN WITH GRANT OPTION;
    GRANT DELETE,INSERT,SELECT,UPDATE ON TABLE S1CELL.ESCALATION_CPROP TO WSADMIN WITH GRANT OPTION;
    GRANT DELETE,INSERT,SELECT,UPDATE ON TABLE S1CELL.ESCALATION_DESC TO WSADMIN WITH GRANT OPTION;
    GRANT DELETE,INSERT,SELECT,UPDATE ON TABLE S1CELL.ESC_TEMPL TO WSADMIN WITH GRANT OPTION;
    GRANT DELETE,INSERT,SELECT,UPDATE ON TABLE S1CELL.ESC_TEMPL_CPROP TO WSADMIN WITH GRANT OPTION;
    GRANT DELETE,INSERT,SELECT,UPDATE ON TABLE S1CELL.ESC_TEMPL_DESC TO WSADMIN WITH GRANT OPTION;
    GRANT DELETE,INSERT,SELECT,UPDATE ON TABLE S1CELL.EVENT TO WSADMIN WITH GRANT OPTION;
    GRANT DELETE,INSERT,SELECT,UPDATE ON TABLE S1CELL.MIGRATION_FRONT TO WSADMIN WITH GRANT OPTION;
    GRANT DELETE,INSERT,SELECT,UPDATE ON TABLE S1CELL.PROCESS_ATTRIBUTE TO WSADMIN WITH GRANT OPTION;
    GRANT DELETE,INSERT,SELECT,UPDATE ON TABLE S1CELL.PROCESS_INSTANCE TO WSADMIN WITH GRANT OPTION;
    GRANT DELETE,INSERT,SELECT,UPDATE ON TABLE S1CELL.PROCESS_TEMPLATE TO WSADMIN WITH GRANT OPTION;
    GRANT DELETE,INSERT,SELECT,UPDATE ON TABLE S1CELL.PROCESS_TEMPL_ATTR TO WSADMIN WITH GRANT OPTION;
    GRANT DELETE,INSERT,SELECT,UPDATE ON TABLE S1CELL.QUERY_PROPERTY TO WSADMIN WITH GRANT OPTION;
    GRANT DELETE,INSERT,SELECT,UPDATE ON TABLE S1CELL.QUERY_PROP_TEMPL TO WSADMIN WITH GRANT OPTION;
    GRANT DELETE,INSERT,SELECT,UPDATE ON TABLE S1CELL.SHARED_WORK_ITEM TO WSADMIN WITH GRANT OPTION;
    GRANT DELETE,INSERT,SELECT,UPDATE ON TABLE S1CELL.TASK TO WSADMIN WITH GRANT OPTION;
    GRANT DELETE,INSERT,SELECT,UPDATE ON TABLE S1CELL.TASK_AUDIT_LOG TO WSADMIN WITH GRANT OPTION;
    GRANT DELETE,INSERT,SELECT,UPDATE ON TABLE S1CELL.TASK_CPROP TO WSADMIN WITH GRANT OPTION;
    GRANT DELETE,INSERT,SELECT,UPDATE ON TABLE S1CELL.TASK_DESC TO WSADMIN WITH GRANT OPTION;
    GRANT DELETE,INSERT,SELECT,UPDATE ON TABLE S1CELL.TASK_HISTORY TO WSADMIN WITH GRANT OPTION;
    GRANT DELETE,INSERT,SELECT,UPDATE ON TABLE S1CELL.TASK_TEMPL TO WSADMIN WITH GRANT OPTION;
    GRANT DELETE,INSERT,SELECT,UPDATE ON TABLE S1CELL.TASK_TEMPL_CPROP TO WSADMIN WITH GRANT OPTION;
    GRANT DELETE,INSERT,SELECT,UPDATE ON TABLE S1CELL.TASK_TEMPL_DESC TO WSADMIN WITH GRANT OPTION;
    GRANT DELETE,INSERT,SELECT,UPDATE ON TABLE S1CELL.WORK_BASKET TO WSADMIN WITH GRANT OPTION;
    GRANT DELETE,INSERT,SELECT,UPDATE ON TABLE S1CELL.WORK_BASKET_DIST_TARGET TO WSADMIN WITH GRANT OPTION;
    GRANT DELETE,INSERT,SELECT,UPDATE ON TABLE S1CELL.WORK_BASKET_LDESC TO WSADMIN WITH GRANT OPTION;
    GRANT DELETE,INSERT,SELECT,UPDATE ON TABLE S1CELL.WORK_ITEM TO WSADMIN WITH GRANT OPTION;

  • Define a RACF group that corresponds to the schema name for the views, and connect the WebSphere administrator ID to the RACF group. For example, you can define a RACF group named S1CELL, and connect user WSADMIN to it, as follows:

    INFORMATION FOR GROUP S1CELL
    	SUPERIOR GROUP=ZWPS 		OWNER=ZWPS 		CREATED=07.144
    	INSTALLATION DATA=OWNED BY EMP SERIAL 009179, SITE ABCUK
    	NO MODEL DATA SET
    	TERMUACC
    	NO SUBGROUPS
    	USER(S)=		ACCESS=		ACCESS COUNT=		UNIVERSAL ACCESS=
    	  WSADMIN		 CONNECT		 000000 		 NONE
    		  CONNECT ATTRIBUTES=NONE 
    		  REVOKE DATE=NONE 			RESUME DATE=NONE
