Change JESJOBS profiles

Description: In z/OS V2R1, the new Job Modify SSI 85 defines additional resource names to the JESJOBS class. If any existing JESJOBS entity name matches one of the new resource names, it could result in unintended user authorization to modify job attributes. If necessary, update your JESJOBS profiles to avoid granting unintended user authority to modify jobs.

Steps to take: Follow these steps:
  1. Search for JESJOBS profile names which match any of the new JESJOBS resource names:
    • SUBMIT.localnodeid.jobname.userid
    • HOLD.nodename.userid.jobname
    • RELEASE.nodename.userid.jobname
    • PURGE.nodename.userid.jobname
    • CANCEL.nodename.userid.jobname
    • START.nodename.userid.jobname
    • RESTART.nodename.userid.jobname
    • SPIN.nodename.userid.jobname
    • MODIFY.nodename.userid.jobname
    • REROUTE.nodename.userid.jobname
    For more information, see z/OS JES2 Initialization and Tuning Guide.
  2. Ensure that your existing JESJOBS profiles grant the intended authority, given the new use of JESJOBS by the Job Modify SSI 85.
  3. If any JESJOBS profile inadvertently allows user authority to Job Modify SSI 85 actions, update the profile or create a new profile, if necessary.
