HOME directory requirements for started tasks

For any user IDs running the controller, server, output collector, or TCP connected tracker started task, you are required to define a HOME directory in their OMVS segment. The HOME directory must exist, be mounted, and the user ID must be assigned write permission to it.

To ensure that a HOME directory is defined for the user ID running the started task, issue the following RACF command:

LU <started_task_userID> OMVS NORACF

The output must return a row as in the following example:

 HOME= /u/<started_task_userID>
