Creating a TSO profile name (when a VTAM generic resource name for TSO is not used)

z/OS Security Server RACF Security Administrator's Guide
SA23-2289-00

If VTAM® generic resource naming is not used for TSO, you should:
  1. Ask the system programmer for the SMF system identifier of the MVS™ system where the application is running.

    The SMF system identifier is located in the SMFPRMxx member of SYS1.PARMLIB and is specified by the SID value.

  2. Determine the high-level qualifier of the profile name to represent the TSO application in the PTKTDATA class using the characters TSO as a prefix to the system's SMF identifier.
Example: The SMF identifier of the system the TSO application is running on is SYS2. To create the profile name, use TSO as the prefix. The resulting profile name is TSOSYS2. If the profile applies only to RACF® users connected to the RACF group PROD, the resulting profile name is TSOSYS2.PROD.
Note: If the SMF identifier contains blanks or characters that are not alphanumeric, they cannot be specified in the profile name. For example, if the SMF identifier is SY-5, you must specify the profile defined in the PTKTDATA class as TSOSY5.
