Access to XCF Utilities
The CDS recovery as well as some operator commands use the XCF utilities to retrieve couple data set information. Because the DD name SYSPRINT is required by the utilities, but can also be assigned by NetView for holding log data, the call of the utilities is implemented as a started task in the PROCLIB.
The input and output data sets used by the started tasks are dynamically allocated and deleted by the NetView address space. This requires the RACF® ALTER access to these data sets for NetView.
When the address space of the started task is created, the operating system assigns a
user ID to the started task. User IDs are assigned either by using STARTED profiles or by using the
ICHRIN03 table (see z/OS Security Server RACF System Programmer's Guide). The user ID
must have RACF UPDATE authority to the data sets. The data set names are created as
follows:
hlq.domain.HSAyyddd.Xhhmmss- hlq
- is the high-level qualifier for temporary data set defined during the configuration
- domain
- is the domain ID of the current NetView
- X
- is I, O, or P
