How to start GPM4CIM and assign userIDs

You can start the GPM4CIM server from the console as started task with the following command:

s gpm4cim[.identifier],os=A|X|Z|W

Since you can run multiple GPM4CIM instances simultaneously, it is recommended to assign an identifier which you can use for subsequent STOP or MODIFY commands.

You may already have created the userID GPMSERVE as owner of the GPMSERVE procedure. The GPM4CIM started task can be assigned to the same userID with the following command:

RDEFINE STARTED GPM4CIM.* STDATA(USER(GPMSERVE) TRUSTED(YES))

The GPM4CIM server uses the RACF® application name GPM4CIM. Check if the use of this application is protected by a profile in the active RACF Application class (APPL) as described in Ensure RACF access to the Distributed Data Server (GPMSERVE and GPM4CIM). If required, use the following command to grant user access:
