Establishing naming conventions for IBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS resources
The use of consistent naming conventions lets you group users and helps to reduce the number of RACF® resource names you need. Name standards are particularly important if you restrict access to Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS data by specifying subresources. Consider these resources when establishing naming conventions:
- Application ID
- Group definition ID
- Owner ID
- Authority Group ID
- Calendar ID
- Period name
- Operation name
- Workstation name
- JCL-variable table ID
- Special-resource name
Also consider which resources you use to restrict access. For example, you can protect application descriptions through the application ID, the owner ID, and the authority group ID.
Note:
Some Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS fields
that can be used for security verification permit characters not acceptable
to RACF. For example, the characters
for semicolon, comma, and blank cannot be specified in a RACF resource name regardless of
the FIRST and OTHER specifications in the ICHERCDE MACRO, but are
acceptable as part of an Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS owner ID.
