Use this information to create the directories that are required by the installed z/OS® Connect Servers.
About this task
When you have installed the z/OS Connect Server on
the LPAR, create the z/OS Connect shared directory.
The shared directory is used as a dedicated file system to access the product extensions by all
z/OS Connect Server instances on the same LPAR. It is
also used as the default location for the z/OS Connect Server instances defined by the
WLP_USER_DIR environment variable.
The default value of WLP_USER_DIR is /var/zosconnect.
Complete the following steps before you create and start your first z/OS Connect Server instance:
Procedure
-
Create the
zosconnect mount point in the z/OS
UNIX file system: /var/zosconnect.
-
Set up file system security to enable z/OS Connect Server instances to access the shared
directory.
-
Change the owner of the directories to the user ID that is administering z/OS Connect.
Use the following command
chown -R owner /var/zosconnect
where
owner is the name of the required owner of the directory and its
contents.
-
Change the group ownership of the directories to a group that all the z/OS Connect Server userIDs belong to.
Use the following command
chgrp -R group /var/zosconnect
where
group is the required group ID of the directory and its
contents.
-
Give the owner of the directories read, write, and execute permissions, and give the group
read, write, and execute permissions.
For example, rwxrwx---.
Use the following command
chmod -R 770 /var/zosconnect
where
770 gives read/write/execute to the user and group associated with the directory
and its contents.
- Optional:
Use UNIX System Services access control list (ACL)
entries to add group or owner permissions for multiple administrators or groups.
When the ACL is complete, activate the SAF FSSEC resource class and use the
setfacl command.
