Creating the DB2PM ID

The OMEGAMON started tasks run under the authorization DB2PM. You must create the user ID and group ID DB2PM and connect it to the started tasks, which is required by the OMEGAMON started tasks.

Before you begin

Ensure that authorizations to create a new user ID or group ID in your security system (for example, RACF) are provided.

Procedure

  1. Create the user ID DB2PM in your security system.
    If you want to use an alternative user ID other than DB2PM:
    1. Create the group ID DB2PM in your security system.
    2. Add the user ID that you want to use to the user group DB2PM.
  2. Connect the OMEGAMON started tasks to the user ID and group ID DB2PM.
    For example, use the following RACF commands:
    RDEFINE STARTED server_stc.* STDATA(USER(DB2PM))
    SETR RACLIST(STARTED) REFRESH

    If the group ID DB2PM is used instead of the user ID DB2PM, assign the OMEGAMON started tasks to the user ID user that was added to the group ID DB2PM:

    RDEFINE STARTED server_stc.* STDATA(USER(user) GROUP(DB2PM))
    SETR RACLIST(STARTED) REFRESH

    Depending on your configuration, there can be additional OMEGAMON started tasks (such as the Performance Warehouse started task or Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server started task).

    If you do not want to connect each started task explicitly and your started tasks are named with the same prefix, use the prefix instead of the explicit started task name in the command to connect all OMEGAMON started tasks at once.
