Agent Technology Post-Installation

To complete the Agent Technology installation

1. Create a user ID for Agent Technology.

   The Agent Technology jobs should be run using one user ID, usually called AWADMIN with group name AWGROUP. This user ID should have a UNIX System Services segment defined so that the following conditions are met:

   Note: The user ID should not be UID(0).

   • The home directory is the same as the installation path for Agent Technology.
   • The z/OS shell is specified as the default shell. Generally, this is /bin/sh.

   The user ID for Agent Technology is created.

   After installation is completed, other user IDs can be cloned for use on production systems, depending on your site's security policies.

   CNSMJCL member B6DI0015 can create this user ID. The job provides control statements for RACF, CA ACF2, and CA Top Secret.

   Update the statements for your security package and delete the remainder.

   Important! The User ID used to run this job must have the authority to issue the commands.

2. Set Agent Technology directory group ownership and Set User ID mode bit for Agent Technology.

   Certain programs in Agent Technology need to run with UID(0).

   Edit CNSMJCL member B6DI0065 to set the user ID bit for these programs.

   This job must be run with the UID that owns the Agent Technology zFS files.

3. Enable Agent Technology command line EXEC.

   Optionally, you may set the environment variable to enable all OMVS users to execute Agent Technology programs from the command line. This job updates /etc/profile.

   Use CNSMJCL member B6DI0068.
