Operator functions

Table 1 describes operator functions.

Table 1. Operator functions
With	The Operator Can
ALTER access to STGADMIN.EDG.LABEL.volser	Create standard labels on a scratch volume during a non-specific volume request for an AL or SL volume.
CONTROL access to STGADMIN.EDG.LISTCONTROL	Display control information and installation options and rules
CONTROL access to STGADMIN.EDG.MASTER	Display all control data set details. Request scratch volumes. Release volumes. Update volume, data set, owner, and software product details. Add and delete information about volumes, data sets, shelf locations, owner IDs, and software products.
ALTER access to STGADMIN.EDG.NOLABEL.volser	Erase labels on a scratch volume during a non-specific volume request for a no label volume.
UPDATE access to STGADMIN.EDG.OPERATOR	Initialize and erase volumes.
ALTER access to STGADMIN.EDG.RESET.SSI	Remove DFSMSrmm from the system.
READ access to STGADMIN.EDG.HOUSEKEEP.RPTEXT	Can obtain information from the control data set that can be used as input for creating reports.

Normally, the operator performs these functions by using prepared procedures or batch jobs. In these cases, the user ID performing the procedure requires the relevant access; not the operator's user ID. For example, the EDGRESET function is invoked by starting the DFSMSrmm procedure with OPT=RESET. The user ID that the DFSMSrmm procedure uses needs the access to STGADMIN.EDG.RESET.SSI.

DFSMSrmm supports the issuing of the RMM TSO subcommands from an operator console. The operator must be authorized for each command issued and must be logged onto the operator console using their user ID with the required subcommand authority level.
