Authorization for special MainView AutoOPERATOR functions
Depending on how a MainView AutoOPERATOR EXEC is scheduled, it is assigned a specific type of origin. The origin is checked against a matching USERID member before default security options are checked. Additional USERID members may be needed for the following origins:
Target type | Description |
|---|---|
target ID of the remote system | for an EXEC scheduled through a message from a target |
subsystem ID of the remote BBI-SS PAS | for an EXEC scheduled from a BBI-SS PAS message or one that is time-initiated |
jobname or RACF USERID | for an externally initiated EXEC |
Command authorization
Users must be authorized to issue commands or use applications against a BBI-SS PAS target system. Command authorization is defined in user authorization members of the BBPARM data set.
