2. ACCESSING CA MICS StoageMate › 2.1 Security Authorization

2.1 Security Authorization

Users need the authorization to read both CA MICS
'sharedprefix' and 'prefix' data sets.  These are the
databases and files that constitute the CA MICS database.
Because CA MICS StorageMate uses the facilities of both ISPF
and MICF, you will need authority to use both of those
facilities.  Many facilities within CA MICS StorageMate
support the use of data from an external data set, referred
to as the Work Data Set.  (This is a product-specific data
set, not to be confused with a SAS Work Data Set.) You must
have security authority to allow you to create and update
this data set, although it is not required that the data set
have any specific name structure.  If you plan to include
tape information from an external data set, you may want to
verify that you have read access to this data set.

Most of these authorization needs should be satisfied by
contacting your CA MICS System Administrator, your security
aministrator, and/or your TSO administrator.
