Define an OMVS segment for RSE API users

A RACF® OMVS segment or equivalent that specifies a valid nonzero z/OS® UNIX user ID (UID), home directory, and shell command must be defined for each user of RSE API. Their default group also requires an OMVS segment with a group ID.

In the following sample RACF commands, replace the #userid, #user-identifier, #group-name, and #group-identifier placeholders with actual values:

  • ALTUSER #userid
OMVS(UID(#user–identifier) HOME(/u/#userid) PROGRAM(/bin/sh) NOASSIZEMAX)
  • ALTGROUP #group–name OMVS(GID(#group–identifier))
