IBM z/OS authorized program facility

To deploy applications to an IBM® z/OS® environment, you must identify specific directories and data sets to the authorized program facility (APF).

Note:
  • Access to the UNIX™ directories and files is required prior to authorization. Refer to IBM z/OS directories and data sets.
  • The filesystem mount on which the agent is installed must have the Ignore SETUID value set to 0 for the APF authorization to take effect.
Table 1. APF-authorized directories and data sets
