Implementing USS Authorization › Implement UNIX System Services

Implement UNIX System Services

You must implement UNIX System Services (USS) authorization for the ReportCenter Java Task, and the ReportCenter control region. This authorization controls access to HFS files and directories.

You must define the following user IDs to USS:

• The user ID associated with the ReportCenter control region
• The user ID associated with the ReportCenter Java Task

These user IDs must have the appropriate access to the following directories:

• …/nm/reporter/wr76/...-contains the ReportCenter SMP/E target libraries created when ReportCenter was installed; read and execute access required.
• .../nm/reporter/usr/...-contains the ReportCenter user files, created when your region was configured; read, write, and execute access required.
• …/bin and …/lib directories of the mainframe Java product; read and execute access required.
• Directory that contains the JDBC/SQLJ support, for example, …/usr/lpp/db2/db2810; read and execute access required.
• If BPX.DAEMON is defined, these user IDs must also have read access to the BPX.DAEMON.HFSCTL facility.

  Under normal operation, you do not need to define end users who want to view reports or perform report administration tasks to USS. Individual end users all assume the USS authorization of the ReportCenter control region. The two user IDs described previously perform all USS access on their behalf.

Note: The Security Administrator and your OMVS UNIX Administrator must perform tasks in this section.
