RTE_USS_MKDIR_MODE

This parameter allows the z/OS® UNIX System Services access mode that is used in the PARMGEN and Configuration Manager jobs to be customized to a site's security audit requirements.

Description
This parameter allows customization of the access mode that is used in the following configuration jobs:
  • In PARMGEN:
    • KCIJPUSP, which creates the z/OS UNIX-related members in the RKANDATV runtime library for use in the composite KCIJPUSS job. For example, this includes the creation of the RTE RKANDATV(KDSRMKDB) TEMS self-describing agent (SDA) member that contains the mkdir commands for the SDA z/OS UNIX runtime environment directories.
    • KCIJPUSS, which creates the z/OS UNIX directories (using commands prepared by the KCIJPUSP job) and copies the z/OS UNIX files.
  • In Configuration Manager:
    • KYNJSUSU, which is used by the GENERATE action.

The TEMS SDA directories are created with the default access mode value of 775, which generates MODE(7,7,5) in the mkdir commands.

Note: This parameter is only for creating z/OS UNIX directories. If you want to change the access mode for existing directories and files, use the chmod command or delete the old directories before you regenerate and rerun the KCIJPUSP and KCIJPUSS jobs or the GENERATE action.
