Customize RACF

RACF must be customized before you can activate the CA SYSVIEW interface.

Follow these steps:

1. Create a RACF group and a user ID for CA SYSVIEW.

   ADDGROUP STCGROUP DATA('started task group')
   ADDUSER SYSVIEW NAME(‘SYSVIEW user ID’) DFLTGRP(STCGROUP)
       OWNER(STCADMIN) NOPASSWORD
   

2. Define the CA SYSVIEW address spaces as started tasks in the class named STARTED using the user ID defined in step 1.

   RDEFINE STARTED SYSVIEW.SYSVIEW STDATA(USER(SYSVIEW) GROUP(STCGROUP)TRUSTED(YES))
   RDEFINE STARTED SYSVUSER.SYSVUSER STDATA(USER(SYSVIEW) GROUP(STCGROUP) TRUSTED(YES))
   RDEFINE STARTED SYSVAAST.SYSVAAST STDATA(USER(SYSVIEW) GROUP(STCGROUP) TRUSTED(YES))
   

3. Add OMVS segment to the SYSVIEW user ID.

   ADDUSER SYSVIEW OMVS(UID(0) HOME(/) PROG(‘/bin/sh’))
   

The RACF security is customized. You can activate the CA SYSVIEW interface.
