Authorizing the RTCS libraries

Temporarily or permanently APF-authorize the RTCS subsystem program library and the RTCS product program library.

Note

You need to completed this task only once per sysplex if you are sharing data sets. Otherwise, this task needs to be completed for each target z/OS image.

In the following examples, libraryName should be POSZRTCS for the RTCS subsystem program library or POSZLINK for the RTCS product program library, and zzzzzz is the VOLSER for the library. The following command examples assume that the production libraries were allocated with the DSNAMEs indicated in the sample JCL in To-create-POSZRTCS and To-create-POSZLINK. If you used different DSNAMEs, change the names in the commands accordingly.

To temporarily APF-authorize these libraries

Issue one of the following commands to add each library to the APF list:

  • If the library is not SMS-managed (recommended)

    SETPROG APF,ADD,LIBRARY=SYS2.RTCS.libraryName,VOLUME=zzzzzz

  • If the library is SMS-managed

    SETPROG APF,ADD,LIBRARY=SYS2.RTCS.libraryName,SMS

To permanently APF-authorize these libraries

  1. Add the library’s DSNAME to the PROGxx member of SYS1.PARMLIB (or the z/OS image-specific Logical PARMLIB data set) that is appropriate for your site.
  2. IPL the z/OS image or issue the SET PROG=xx z/OS operator command, which causes z/OS to rebuild the list of APF-authorized data sets in storage.
