APF authorizing the program libraries

You must make certain changes to your MVS™ system to allow IMS Fast Path Solution Pack to operate with the required level of authority.

About this task

Before using any of the tools in IMS Fast Path Solution Pack, you must ensure that all the authorizations are set up correctly for your environment. The following libraries require authorized program facility (APF) authorization:
  • The library that contains IMS Fast Path Solution Pack executable modules
  • All tools that are part of IMS Fast Path Solution Pack that are not in the SHFPLMD0 library
  • The libraries of related common tools of IMS Tools Base
  • The libraries that contain the randomizers, compression routines, user exit modules, and site default table modules, if they exist

Procedure

  1. Add the required libraries to your MVS APF list.
    Add the libraries in the following table to your MVS APF list and any other library that is specified in the STEPLIB of each batch utility job or IMS control region.
    Table 1. Load libraries to be APF-authorized
    Library Descriptions
    SAIILINK Distributed Access Infrastructure
    SHFPLMD0 IMS Fast Path Solution Pack: IMS HP Fast Path Utilities
    SHPSLMD0 IMS HP Image Copy and IMS Library Integrity Utilities
    SGLXLOAD IMS Tools Generic Exits
    SFOILOAD IMS Tools Online System Interface and IMS Tools Common Pauser
    SHKTLOAD Autonomics Director, IMS Tools Knowledge Base, Distributed Access Infrastructure, and Policy Services
  2. Complete either of the following steps to activate the updated APF list:
    • To temporarily APF-authorize the libraries, use the SETPROG APF system command. For more information, see z/OS MVS System Commands.
    • To permanently APF-authorize the libraries, add the libraries to the APF statement in the PROGxx member of SYS1.PARMLIB and re-IPL the system. For more information, see the z/OS MVS Initialization and Tuning Reference.
