Defining the Debug Manager started task

The following sample RACF® commands create the DBGMGR started task, with protected user ID (STCDBM) and the STCGROUP group assigned to it.

  • ADDGROUP STCGROUP OMVS(AUTOGID)
DATA('GROUP WITH OMVS SEGMENT FOR STARTED TASKS')

  • ADDUSER STCDBM DFLTGRP(STCGROUP) NOPASSWORD NAME('DEBUG MANAGER')
OMVS(AUTOUID HOME(/tmp) PROGRAM(/bin/sh) )
DATA('IBM z/OS Debugger')

  • RDEFINE STARTED DBGMGR.* DATA('DEBUG MANAGER')
STDATA(USER(STCDBM) GROUP(STCGROUP) TRUSTED(NO))

  • SETROPTS RACLIST(STARTED) REFRESH
Note:
  • Ensure that the started task user ID is protected by specifying the NOPASSWORD keyword.
  • The Debug Manager started task (DBGMGR) is used only by z/OS Debugger when the DBMDT TEST runtime parameter is used.
