Abstract for TSO/E Administration
This information supports z/OS® (5694-A01).
Purpose of this information
This information is intended for anyone maintaining TSO/E user definitions or Information Center Facility services at an installation. That person might be a TSO/E administrator, an Information Center Facility administrator, a system programmer, or a person involved with security.
If you are a TSO/E administrator, this information provides information to help you define users to TSO/E and maintain those definitions.
- Maintain the news service, the names directory, and education services
- Enroll users to TSO/E and RACF® through the enroll service
- Assign users to user types and maintain the user type definitions
- Maintain the model ISPF profile and printer support definitions
- Maintain Information Center Facility applications.
An administrator is not necessarily either a TSO/E administrator or an Information Center Facility administrator. A TSO/E administrator might also use the Information Center Facility enroll service to define users to TSO/E. Or, an administrator might maintain only a portion of the Information Center Facility, for example, courses, while another administrator maintains news. Or, in small installations, one person might be responsible for maintaining both TSO/E and the Information Center Facility.
This information also provides a brief description of the APPC/MVS administration dialog in Administering TSO/E and the Information Center Facility. For detailed information about using the APPC/MVS administration dialog, refer to z/OS MVS Planning: APPC/MVS Management.
Who should read this information
