VM Batch Environment and Subsystem Access Rules

You must write BATCHMON VM access rules to let the VM BATCH's execution machines link to VM BATCH's 0192 and 0194 minidisks. Use the rule ID of VMD4AUTH for this purpose.

$KEY(VMD4AUTH)
 V0192.‑ UID(VMD4‑) READ(A)
 V0194.‑ UID(VMD4‑) READ(A)

This rule set lets any UIDs that begin with VMD4 link to VMD4AUTH's 0192 and 0194 minidisks for read access. Similarly, an access rule is necessary to allow a link to the VMBATx 0191 minidisk for read and write access.

$KEY(BATCH1)
 V0191.‑ UID(‑) READ(A) WRITE(A)

Universal read and write access (UID(-)) is necessary because when VM BATCH jobs are submitted, VMBATx executes jobs on behalf of whoever submits them. The BATCHMON job you submit inherits your validated logonid and your authority.

The above BATCHMON entries are shown as samples only. Consult your local systems programmer for the appropriate values to be substituted for the user IDs and rule IDs at your site.
