Define authorization to system logger resources

IBM® suggests that installations use Security Authorization Facility (SAF) to control access to system logger resources, such as log streams or coupling facility structures associated with log streams. The following examples assume the use of z/OS® Security Server (RACF®) or an equivalent security product.

Installations must define authorization to system logger resources for the following:

System logger address space
User ID setting up the CFRM and LOGR policies
System logger applications (for example, logrec or OPERLOG) that will be accessing the log streams.

These steps apply to both coupling facility and DASD-only log streams.

For information about the authorization an application needs to issue system logger services, see z/OS MVS Programming: Assembler Services Guide.
