CP Privilege Class

CA VM:Backup uses a supplied directory lookup CP diagnose to retrieve CP directory information to run jobs. This diagnose must be installed before using CA VM:Backup. The installation of the required CP Diagnose exit routine is part of the CA Mainframe VM Product Manager installation procedure.

By default, CA VM:Backup should have privilege class E to use this CP diagnose. If the diagnose exit routine was installed specifying a CP privilege class other than E, then the CA VM:Backup service virtual machine must have that class. If the system uses an External Security Manager (ESM) and the diagnose exit routine resource is secured by the ESM, give the CA VM:Backup service virtual machine authorization to the CP Diagnose exit routine through your ESM interface.

CA VM:Backup requires CP privilege classes B, E, and G to update the online CP directory in place, examine real CP storage, and use the CP ATTACH and CP QUERY DASD commands. For more information about the CP privilege classes that CA VM:Backup requires, see Software Requirements.
