SYSID Keyword—Identify System

Valid on z/OS, z/VSE, and z/VM.

Use the SYSID keyword to identify the system to which the authorization applies. The SYSID is actually the SMFID. You should specify a maximum of four characters for z/OS systems. The keyword supports up to eight characters for VM systems.

This value can be masked only when used on ADD/REMOVE with CRITMAP or LDAPNODE. Do not use SYSID with PROGRAM or IMS resources.

Note: SYSID is valid on an ADDTO/REMOVE command only when used with the FACILITY or CRITMAP keywords.

This keyword has the following format:

TSS ADDTO(acid) [FACILITY(facility)]
                SYSID(sysid)
                [CRITMAP(recid)]

acid: Specifies the ACID to which the authorization applies.
facility: Specifies the facility to which the ACID should have access.
sysid: Specifies the system on which the authorization applies.
recid: Specifies a unique eight-byte identifier of a CRITMAP record (in the SDT on the security file) that contains defined criteria and acts as a filter to assign an ACID to a user. You use the TSS ADD CRITMAP command to define the criteria.

This keyword is used with:

The commands ADDTO, PERMIT, REMOVE, REPLACE, and REVOKE
The ACID types User, Profile, DCA, VCA, ZCA, LSCA, SCA, and MSCA
ACID(MAINTAIN) authority

Example: Allow GroupA to Use the TSO Facility on SMFID TS01

This example allows GroupA to use the TSO facility (but only on the system that has an SMFID of TS01):

TSS ADDTO(GroupA) FACILITY(TSO)
                  SYSID(TS01)
