Define a Product Security User ID

If your installation requires z/OS started tasks to have valid security system user IDs, contact the system security administrator at your installation to have a user ID defined for the CAISDI/elmds started task. If you are using the CASDIMED procedure, obtain a user ID for it also.

The CASDI/elmds user ID needs security access to the various configuration files allocated to CDYFCNFG, MEDPARMS and ELSSTART. If you are using a STEPLIB statement, the user ID also has to have access to the APF-authorized load library.

If you are using the CASDIMED procedure, the CAISDI/med user ID needs security access to the following:

• The CAISDI/med parameter data set referenced by the //MEDPARMS DD statement in the CAISDI/med JCL PROC
• The APF-authorized load library that is referenced by the //STEPLIB DD statement.

The local security product possibly protects data set resources such as these. CAISDI/med initialization fails unless the CAISDI/med started task has been granted proper access to the data sets it needs.
