Starting Debug Manager as a user job

When not run as a started task, Debug Manager queries your security product for explicit permission to start.

Table 1. Debug Manager batch startup profile
Security profile Required access
EQADTOOL.START.BATCH.jobname.port READ
Table 2. Substitutions
Name Substitution
jobname Name of the job
port port number (the port used for internal communication)

The security class where this profile resides can be specified with SAFCLASS command line parameter, and is defined as FACILITY by default. Use SAFCLASS=CLASS_NAME command line option to modify the default name. When the profile is not defined or the class is not active, permission is denied and batch startup fails.

Use the following sample RACF commands to allow user ID IBMUSER to start Debug Manager in batch with job name EQADBM and port 5336:
  • RDEFINE FACILITY EQADTOOL.START.BATCH.EQADBM.5336 UACC(NONE) DATA('start DBM in batch')
  • PERMIT EQADTOOL.START.BATCH.EQADBM.5336 CLASS(FACILITY) ACCESS(READ) ID(IBMUSER)
  • SETROPTS RACLIST(FACILITY) REFRESH
