MVS commands, RACF access authorities, and resource names

For lists of all MVS™ commands, the RACF® access authority associated with them, and the RACF resource name for the profile, see the table MVS Commands, RACF Access Authorities, and Resource Names in Defining and Changing Console Characteristics of z/OS MVS System Commands.

Handling Unrecognized Commands

To handle MVS system commands that operators might enter but which the system does not recognize, create an MVS.UNKNOWN profile for RACF auditing, and define a universal access authority of READ.

Some command processors, including CANCEL, FORCE, MODIFY, and STOP, will also use this resource when auditing unknown tasks or address spaces.

When you specify auditing, the auditing records contain the full text of the commands as entered.
