Setting up access for BCPii TSO/E REXX execs

The TSO/E environment is an unauthorized program environment. BCPii normally requires its APIs to be invoked from a program-authorized application. An installation may choose to allow BCPii APIs to be run under TSO/E REXX by making a configuration update to the "TSO/E Commands and Programs" parmlib member (IKJTSOxx). The program HWIC1TRX must be added to the list of APF-authorized programs that may be called through the TSO Service Facility (AUTHTSF).

The following example shows the syntax required to add BCPii to this list:

AUTHTSF NAMES(HWIC1TRX)

To activate this change on a live system, issue the SET command: SET IKJTSO=xx; where xx is the two-character suffix of the IKJTSOxx parmlib member where the update was made.

Once this change is activated, the TSO/E user still requires SAF authorization to the correct BCPii profiles in order to successfully perform the desired BCPii operations.
