Plan for new entries AXRINIT and AXRRXTSS in the program properties table

Description

In z/OS V1R13 and earlier there were no entries in the program properties table for AXRINIT and AXRRXTSS to indicate that these programs needed to run privileged, so you had to manually add PPT entries for AXRINIT and AXRRXTSS into SCHEDxx parmlib members. In z/OS V2R1, these entries are now included in the IBM supplied default program properties table, and you can remove the SCHEDxx PPT specifications for AXRINIT and AXRRXTSS.

Table 1 provides more details about this migration action. Use this information to plan your changes to the system.
