Authorizing users of IXCMIAPU

You can create log structures and define log streams using the IXCMIAPU administrative data utility to update the LOGR data set. Your user ID must have the appropriate level of authorization.

Here are examples of levels of user ID authorization:

Coupling facility structures

To define and delete log structures using IXCMIAPU, you must have ALTER access to the LOGR resource profile named MVSADMIN.LOGR in the FACILITY general resource class. For example, use the following RACF® command:

PERMIT MVSADMIN.LOGR CLASS(FACILITY) ACCESS(ALTER) ID(your_userid)

Coupling facility log streams

To define, delete, and update log streams, including log stream models, that are defined in coupling facility structures, you require these accesses:

• ALTER access to the appropriate log stream profile defined in the LOGSTRM general resource class
• UPDATE access to the coupling facility structure (IXLSTR) profile defined in the FACILITY general resource class; in this case, profile names are prefixed with IXLSTR.

For example, if the log stream and structure resource profiles are defined to RACF with the following commands:

RDEFINE LOGSTRM log_stream_profile  UACC(NONE)  [NOTIFY]
RDEFINE FACILITY IXLSTR.structure_name_a  UACC(NONE)  [NOTIFY]

Use the following RACF commands to give your user ID the required authorizations to these two profiles:

PERMIT log_stream_profile  CLASS(LOGSTRM) ACCESS(ALTER) ID(your_userid)
PERMIT IXLSTR.structure_name_a CLASS(FACILITY) ACCESS(UPDATE) ID(your_userid)
