ECC considerations



This topic provides detailed information about all considerations you need to keep in mind for installation related started tasks.

OMVS segments

The CMSC and HCI started tasks require that an OMVS segment be defined for the user ID associated with each of the following started tasks to perform various TCP/IP services.

TCP/IP Security

The CMSC and HCI started tasks require access to the TCP/IP stack through which they communicate. This requires that these started tasks have read the authority to the EZB.STACKACCESS resource class.

ECC Security

The CMSC and HCI started tasks require specific security rights. The following tables list the requirements needed by each component.

CMSC started task owner ID requires access to the following files and libraries:

Files/libraries

Access required

BMC PARM library

Update

BMC license VSAM file

Update

BMC license checkpoint VSAM file

Update

ECC authorized library (SLCXAUTH)

ECC load library (SLCXLOAD)

HCI started task owner ID requires access to the following files and libraries:

Files/libraries

Access required

BMC PARM library

BMC license VSAM file

Update

SSAS journal files (if using File-AID under Workbench for Eclipse)

Warning

Important

HCI spawns one and possibly two started subtasks that create HCI TSO address spaces instead of using the user’s TSO address space for specific tasks.

  • CXSSAS started task runs unauthorized — Primarily used for DDIO processing and BMC AMI DevX Code Coverage analysis.
  • CXSS0000 started task runs authorized — Primarily used by File-AID, BMC AMI Strobe, and Topaz TSO Command processing under BMC AMI DevX Workbench for Eclipse.

These started tasks are initiated as needed by HCI and run under a given user IDs authority (no additional access rights are required). The rights of the started task are inherited from the user ID running it.
