Unauthorized Use of Control Command-SYS Authority Required (Message MIM0093)

This error message is displayed when a CA MIM command is issued from MIMTSO that requires SYS (system control) authority. By default, a MIMTSO user only has INFO (information) authority. You need to have INFO authority to issue display-type CA MIM commands such as DISPLAY, EDITEST, HELP, and so on. All other CA MIM commands require SYS authority. TSO users generally do not have SYS authority.

There are two possible solutions:

• Use the MIMCMDXT to increase the authority level of the TSO user. This allows a MIMTSO user to enter CA MIM commands that require SYS authority.

  For more details on this exit, see the CA MIM Programming Guide.

  Use the CA MIC LINK command to increase the authority level of the TSO user. For example:

  LINK TSOUSER=KERGL01 SYSID=ALL AUTHORITY=ALL
  

  Then the MIMTSO session will have authority to enter all CA MIM commands, including ones that require SYS authority. You must prefix the CA MIM command with the CA MIM command character and the system alias. For example:

  @S1 @SETOPTION MIM INTERVAL=0.1

  @ is the CA MIM command character, and S1 is the CA MIM alias for the target system, as identified on the DEFSYS statement in the MIMINIT member.

  Note: For more information on routing commands to external or local systems, see the chapter “Advanced Topics.”
