The FACILITY resource class profile STGADMIN.IGD.ACTIVATE.CONFIGURATION protects the ability to activate an SMS configuration. If you issue the ACTIVATE command from the Control Data Set Application Selection panel of ISMF, and either the Facility Resource Class is inactive or the named profile does not exist, the operator is queried to decide whether the ACTIVATE action should be allowed. You remain on the panel without the ability to provide additional input until action is taken from the operator console. If you have authority to activate an SMS configuration from ISMF, activation proceeds without confirmation from the operator console, and you continue with normal operations.
