Define authorization for setting up policies

z/OS MVS Setting Up a Sysplex
SA23-1399-00

The LOGR policy information describes the characteristics of each log stream and coupling facility structure that will be used when there are active connections to the log stream.

The CFRM policy contains the definition of all coupling facility structures used by system logger, if applicable.

Before setting up these policies for your installation with the IXCMIAPU Administrative Data Utility program, authorize who can use IXCMIAPU.
  • Define a resource profile for the resource name MVSADMIN.LOGR to the FACILITY class. Assign READ access authority to users who require reports on the policy, but who will not change the policy.
  • If applicable, define a resource profile for the resource name MVSADMIN.XCF.CFRM to the FACILITY class. Assign UPDATE access to users who must define coupling facility structures in the policy.
The users of the IXCMIAPU utility require authorization to the resources accessed by the utility. Define the appropriate authorizations before users attempt to add, update, delete, or extract a report from the LOGR policy. The LOGR couple data set must be activated and available before you add log streams and structure definitions to it. The following authorizations are required to set up the LOGR policy:
  • To DEFINE, UPDATE, or DELETE LOGSTREAM, specify ALTER access authority to RESOURCE(log_stream_name) CLASS(LOGSTRM).
  • To DEFINE or DELETE STRUCTURE, specify ALTER access authority to RESOURCE(MVSADMIN.LOGR) CLASS(FACILITY).
  • To specify a structure name on a LOGSTREAM definition or update request, (for example,
    DEFINE LOGSTREAM NAME (log_stream_name) STRUCTNAME(structname)
    ), specify UPDATE access authority to RESOURCE(IXLSTR.structurename) CLASS(FACILITY).
  • To specify ZAI(YES) on a LOGSTREAM definition or update request (for example,
    DEFINE LOGSTREAM NAME (log_stream_name) ZAI(YES)
    specify UPDATE access authority to RESOURCE(IXGZAWARE_CLIENT)CLASS(FACILITY).
