To allow a user to use the Configuration Tool, you must connect the user to the user group that is specified in the cdpui.properties file. By default, the group ID is HBOUSRGP.

About this task

Procedure

  1. Run the following RACF command on the TSO command line as a user ID with RACF SPECIAL authority.
    CONNECT HBOUSER GROUP(HBOUSRGP)

  2. Verify that the user ID is connected to the group by running the following RACF command on the TSO command line:
