PSTKAPPL Keyword—Application ID

Valid on z/OS.

Use the PSTKAPPL keyword to define the application ID. Depending on the application, the secured signon function uses a specific method to determine the application ID:

• For CICS, IMS, or APPC applications, the application ID is defined using the standard naming conventions you use to define these applications in a VTAM APPL statement.
• For TSO, the application ID is defined by prefacing the SMF identifier of the system with the characters TSO. For example, TSOXE05, is the application ID for TSO on machine XE05. The SMF system ID can be found in SMFPRMxx member of SYS1.PARMLIB.
• For z/OS batch jobs that include TSS passwords in the JCL, you can replace the password with a PassTicket. The application ID for batch jobs is defined by prefacing the SMF identifier of the system with the characters z/OS. For example, OS/390 XE05 is the application ID for all batch jobs on machine XE05.
