Modifying TSO parameters

You must define the EQQMINOP module to TSO on each system where you install the scheduler dialogs. You must also authorize the IBM Z Workload Scheduler TSO commands on every system where you install IBM Z Workload Scheduler. If you do not authorize the TSO commands, the commands will only work on the system where the Z controller is installed.

To request services from the subsystem for a TSO user, the IBM Z Workload Scheduler dialog invokes the EQQMINOP module using the TSO service facility. EQQMINOP is the dialog interface module. It must run as an APF-authorized program. To achieve this, define EQQMINOP to TSO. If you are installing the scheduler dialogs, include EQQMINOP in the list of programs defined by the AUTHTSF statement in the IKJTSOnn member of SYS1.PARMLIB. This statement defines programs to be authorized when invoked using the TSO service facility, as shown in the following example:

If you prefer, you can put EQQMINOP in CSECT IKJEFTAP instead of IKJTSOnn. For more information about using IKJEFTAP, see TSO/E Customization.

IBM Z Workload Scheduler supports the BACKUP, BULKDISC, JSUACT, OPINFO, OPSTAT, SRSTAT, and WSSTAT TSO commands. Update the IKJTSOnn member on each system where you are installing IBM Z Workload Scheduler to define these commands as authorized commands. To do this, add them to the list of commands defined by the NAMES keyword of the AUTHCMD statement, as shown in the following example

If the default entry in the ISPF TSO command table ISPTCM is set for unauthorized TSO commands, then ISPTCM must be updated. The ISPTCM can be updated using the ISPMTCM macro. Define the BACKUP, BULKDISC, JSUACT, OPINFO, OPSTAT, SRSTAT, and WSSTAT commands like this:

No update is needed to ISPTCM if the default entry is set up for authorized TSO commands. For more information about the ISPMTCM macro statements, see ISPF Planning and Customization.
