Setting up security for the HZSPRINT utility

IBM® Health Checker for z/OS® users can view check output in the message buffer or log stream using HZSPRINT. HZSPRINT writes the check output for the target checks to SYSOUT. If users in your installation will be using HZSPRINT to print check output, you must authorize HZSPRINT users to the following resources:

• To access check output from the message buffer, you must authorize users to the following service resources:
  • QUERY, which returns a list of checks and check status from the message buffer.
  • MESSAGES, which returns the output messages for a check or checks from the message buffer.
  See Security for printing check output from the message buffer.
• To access check output in IBM Health Checker for z/OS log stream or streams, you must authorize users to the log stream names. See Security for printing check output from a log stream.

To authorize HZSPRINT users to these service resources with RACF®, you must define profiles for them, as shown in the topics below.
