How SAF Resources Are Defined to Use External Security

Before you start using external security, define your SAF resources and groups. You only define your resources and groups once. The REXX program DEFSAF is distributed with CA OPS/MVS. Use DEFSAF to help you define and maintain access to CA OPS/MVS security resources.

Use the following process to define SAF resources and groups to use external security:

  1. Generate - The automation expert uses the utility DEFSAF to generate the external security manager commands to a data set member.
  2. Execute - The security administrator executes the external security manager commands in batch using the data set member that the automation expert provided in the first step.
