Installation user ID

The user ID that is used to install RSE API, or to install maintenance, must have at least the following attributes:

• TSO access (with a normal region size).
• An OMVS segment defined to the security system (for example, RACF®), both for the user ID and its default group.
  • The HOME field must refer to a home directory that is allocated for the user, with READ, WRITE, and EXECUTE access.
  • The PROGRAM field in the OMVS segment should be /bin/sh or other valid z/OS® UNIX shell, such as /bin/tcsh.
  • The user ID’s default group requires a GID.
• UID=0 or READ authorization to the BPX.SUPERUSER profile in the FACILITY class.
• If the BPX.FILEATTR.APF or BPX.FILEATTR.PROGCTL profiles are defined in the FACILITY class, READ access to these profiles.
• READ, WRITE, and EXECUTE access to the /tmp directory (or a directory referenced in the TMPDIR environment variable).
