WHOOWNS Function—Display Resource Owners

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

Use the WHOOWNS command function to:

• Display the ACID that owns a specific resource
• Display the ACIDs that own each resource of a specific type

Additional resource keywords may be used by an installation that has defined new resource classes in the RDT Record.

Only one resource keyword and prefix may be specified per command.

Administrators must have:

• RESOURCE(INFO) authority, via the ADMIN function, to identify owners of resources within their scope
• MISC1(GENERIC) authority, via the ADMIN function, to use the WHOOWNS keyword(*) command function
• MISC9(MODE) authority, via the ADMIN function, to obtain ownership information for MODES

Note: If mixed case is used for the HFSSEC resource class, when issuing a TSS WHOOWNS for the HFFSEC resource class, the case on the WHOOWNS command must match the case of the HFSSEC resource name on the owning acid in order for that data to be displayed.

When WHOOWNS functions are entered for a resource, all resource prefixes which generically match the requested resource prefix are displayed in alphabetical order.

This command has the format:

TSS WHOOWNS keyword(prefix|TSS mode|*)

• Keyword

  If information is required for resource ownership, enter the keyword for that resource. If information is required for a security mode, enter MODE.

• Prefix

  Specifies the specific resource prefix, or CA Top Secret mode for which ownership identification is required. Enter an asterisk (*) to list all owners for all resources of this type.
