Update command processor table

Some BMC programs and commands are either issued as a TSO/E command processor, or called as a program in the TSO/E environment. Use the following procedure to verify that your security environment allows command processors to execute under ISPF.

Tip

This task is optional for all products.

These programs and commands might be invoked explicitly by options on the BMC AMI Ops Selection Menu, or implicitly by the BMC AMI Ops user address space (UAS) or product address space (PAS).

Some sites have a security package (such as IBM RACF, Computer Associates CA ACF2 or CA TOP SECRET, or IBM PCF) that defines an authorized command processor table to restrict TSO command processor execution. If your security package defines this type of table, you might need to add the following programs and commands to the table:

  • AOEXEC
  • BALCMSG
  • BBM3API
  • BBM9TC21
  • BBM9TC22
  • BBM9TC24
  • BBVJSETP
  • BMILI0
  • DOMDMAIN
  • EMTMPW
  • LGCOMAIN
  • SMLOAD
  • TSLOAD

To add programs and commands to the command processor table, see the documentation for the security package that is used at your site.

Important

If any of these programs or commands are invoked by BMC AMI Ops and are not in the TSO command processor table, the following message is issued:

IKJ56500I COMMAND xxxxxxxx NOT FOUND

xxxxxxxx is the program or command that was invoked. If the program or command was invoked in background mode (by the PAS, for example), the IKJ56500I message appears in the SYSTSPRT output.

If you are invoking the BMC AMI Ops terminal session in an ISPF environment, or you are calling TSLOAD as a command processor, you must verify that your security environment allows command processors to execute under ISPF. Otherwise, the message SMLOAD NOT FOUND is issued.

To authorize the terminal session

  1. Determine whether the ISPF TSO Command Table (ISPTCM) allows TSLOAD and SMLOAD to be issued as a TSO command processor.If not, see the IBM publication Interactive System Productivity (ISPF) and ISPF/Program Development Facility for MVS Installation and Customization, and add TSLOAD and SMLOAD to the ISPTCM table.

    Important

    The ISPTCM entry for TSLOAD and SMLOAD must specify a FLAG parameter with the X'40' and X'02' bits set on (that is, ISPTCM must be set to X'42').

  2. If the Program Control Facility (PCF) is installed on your system, determine whether it allows the SMLOAD and TSLOAD commands to be issued as a TSO command processor.If not, add SMLOAD and TSLOAD to the PCF-authorized Program Table, or set the user's authorization level to zero.
  3. If you have RACF or other appropriate security installed, determine whether it allows the SMLOAD command to be issued as a TSO command processor.If not, change the ACF2 command list to do so.
  4. If you have checked all of the preceding requirements and you still get the SMLOAD NOT FOUND message, turn off all security checking and run the terminal session.If the terminal session runs, the problem is related to one of the site's security programs. If the problem persists, contact BMC Customer Support.
