Authorizing access to SMP/E data sets

The Z Common Data Provider must have the read access to the SMP/E target data sets.

About this task

You must grant read access to the following SMP/E target data sets:
Data set name Content
hlq.SHBOLOAD Load library for runtime modules and stand-alone utilities.
hlq.SHBODEFS System Data Engine definition files.

Procedure

The following example shows how the sample RACF® command protects these data sets and grants the Z Common Data Provider started tasks to access to them.
ADDSD 'hlq.SHBOLOAD'  UACC(NONE)
PERMIT 'hlq.SHBOLOAD' ID(HBOLGF) ACCESS(READ)

ADDSD 'hlq.SHBODEFS'  UACC(READ)
Note: You can also protect all these data sets with one generic profile such as 'hlq.**'. However, you must strictly control read access to hlq.SHBOLOAD because it contains APF-authorized programs, and the profile that protects this data set must be defined with UACC(NONE). In addition to the user ID (HBOLGF) that is associated with the Z Common Data Provider started tasks, users who submit System Data Engine bath jobs also must have read access to hlq.SHBOLOAD.
