Procedure for specifying attributes

On the LPR Protocol panel, the Direct Sockets Protocol panel, or the IPP Protocol panel, specify this field:

• Operator security profile: Specify the name of the RACF® resource profile in the PRINTSRV class.

Example 1. Using ISPF panels to specify the profile name

This ISPF screen shows how to specify the name of the RACF profile in a printer definition that uses the LPR protocol.

Example 2. Using PIDU to specify the profile name

These commands show how to specify the name of the same RACF profile in all IP PrintWay™ printer definitions that do not already contain a profile name.

1. Enter these commands as one command on the z/OS® UNIX command line:

   pidu -qc "list printer where printer-type=ip-printway and 
   operator-security-profile=null;" | awk'{print "modify printer " $1 
   " operator-security-profile = \"PRINTERS.DENVER\";"}' > /tmp/defs

   The list command lists the names of all IP PrintWay printer definitions with no value in the operator-security-profile attribute. These names are piped to the awk program, which writes modify commands to modify the printer definitions to file /tmp/defs.
2. Inspect the /tmp/defs file to make sure the modify commands are acceptable.
3. Enter this command to update the Printer Inventory:

   pidu < /tmp/defs
