Required authorizations for using ISPF-Export
Before launching Export from DASD MANAGER PLUS, you need to appropriate Resource Access Control Facility (RACF) authority and SAF authority to access the ECL.
TCP/IP and UIM server access
Export uses existing login credentials for the definition phase. Export also prompts you for login credentials when you specify a UIM connection for the primary UIM server, and for any other UIM servers that will participate in an export. Export requires a valid RACF or equivalent user ID and password for these credentials. The security administrator for your site sets up the user ID and password.
The RACF security administrator must define an Open Multiple Virtual Storage (OMVS) segment for the UIM server started task in order to enable TCP/IP access. The security administrator must also assign a user ID with an OMVS segment to the started task procedure name for the UIM server address space.
The UIM Primary Server is the connection repository where PCL’s and ECL’s are stored. Communication to the primary UIM server is through the use of POF values for host name and port number. The security administrator usually specifies this information during installation.
When you launch Export, the JCL Generation component of DASD MANAGER PLUS accesses the POF to retrieve the primary UIM host name and port number. Export then prompts you for a TSO userid and password and creates a UIM connection using the host and port number specified in the POF.
The following table lists the POF keywords that are associated with Export and specifies how they affect DASD MANAGER PLUS:
POF keyword | Definition |
|---|---|
ASU_XP_LOGD_DATAC= | Specifies the SMS data class and the allocation attributes of the Export log file |
ASU_XP_LOGD_MGMTC= | Specifies the SMS management class that defines the migration, retention, and backup requirements of the Export log file |
ASU_XP_LOGD_PRIQTY=10 | Defines the primary allocation for the Export log file |
ASU_XP_LOGD_SECQTY=2 | Defines the secondary allocation for the Export log file |
ASU_XP_LOGD_STORC= | Specifies the SMS storage class that defines the processing requirements of the Export log file |
ASU_XP_LOGD_UNIT=SYSDA | Specifies the unit for the Export log file |
ASU_XP_LOGDSN=&PREFIX..XPORT.LOG(R) | Specifies the Export log file |
ASU_XP_UIMSRVPORT= | Specifies the port number of the primary UIM server that contains the host definitions repository for the Export utility |
ASU_XP_UIMSRVHOST= | Specifies the host name of the primary UIM server for the Export utility |
ASU_XP_UIMSRVTIMEOUT=300 | Specifies the UIM timeout parameter that determines how long the Export utility should wait for a response from the UIM server before timing out |
TCP/IP and user access
An OMVS segment must be defined in RACF for each Export user ID. An OMVS segment is required to make use of TCP/IP services such as the FTP server on z/OS. The OMVS segment specifies the UIM to be used, the home directory, and the shell program name.
