Defining applications
This chapter describes the methods of defining applications to CL/SuperSession.
There are two ways to make sessions available to users: via Session Profiles and/or via the APPLDEF command. Unless you have a technical reason to do otherwise, IBM support recommends that administrators define sessions to the GLOBAL, GROUP, and USER session profiles to facilitate troubleshooting and user-modifications.
Session Profiles
A CL/SuperSession administrator can add sessions available to all users, a group of users, or a single user by defining the sessions to GLOBAL, GROUP, and USER session profiles respectively. Administrators can also prohibit a USER or GROUP from accessing sessions defined at the GLOBAL level. For more information, refer to Using administrator functions.
APPLDEFs
As with the functionality of the GLOBAL Session Profile, the APPLDEF command can define an application and make it available to all users. You can associate an authorized application list (APPLIST) to restrict application access.
IBM recommends you include a member in a command library for your APPLDEF commands that define production applications. Refer to the example in -RHILEV-.RLSCMDS(KLSCAPLS). The session ID specified in the APPLDEF command creates a unique application definition. Therefore, any reference to the application in other commands must specify the session ID. Some of your customization needs may go beyond the procedures provided here. If so, refer to the IBM CL/SuperSession for z/OS V2.1 Customization Guide.
