  1. Issue the following command to create an OMVS segment:
    ALU userid omvs(uid(empNum) home('/home/userID') program('/bin/sh'))

    The command variables are defined as follows:

    • userID is a RACF user ID.
    • empNum is a unique number, such as an employee ID.

  2. Associate your started task procedure names to a user ID.
    The following example shows how to associate the BCSS/CPC subsystem (MXAP), the ADV server (MXAPADV), and the UIM server (MXAPUIM) with the same RACF user ID:

    RDEF STARTED MXAP*.** OWNER(SYS1)
    STDATA(USER(userid) TRUSTED(YES))
    SETR RACLIST(STARTED) REFRESH    In the example, the MXAP variable is the started task procedure name for the BCSS/CPC subsystem.
