Task 8.3.5: Designating Xchange administrators

Only Xchange administrators can perform the following functions:

  • Delete pattern requests and jobs created by a different user ID
  • Input operator commands from the batch facility
  • Reset pattern requests on the ISPF interface created by a different user ID
  • Delete all completed entries on the ISPF interface for jobs not active
  • Force active pattern requests and their executing requests on the ISPF interface to become inactive/queued and completed.

Xchange administrators have user IDs with update access to the model data set entity name XGADMIN. XGADMIN has been prefixed by the SECPFX parameter. For example, if SECPFX is specified as CWXG, and an installation wants user IDs USER1 and USER2 to be Xchange administrators, the installation would define a data set model named CWXG.XGADMIN and would give update access to USER1 and USER2.

To give administrator functions to all user IDs, the installation would define a data set model named CWXG.XGADMIN and would give it universal access equal to UPDATE.

To prohibit administrator functions from all user IDs, the installation would define a data set model named CWXG.XGADMIN with universal access equal to NONE.

Important

If external security is not activated (SECUSE=NO), all user IDs are considered Xchange administrators.
