Providing the correct profile on OS/390

When QMF is started, it determines which users are authorized to establish a QMF session by searching the CREATOR, ENVIRONMENT, and TRANSLATION columns of the Q.PROFILES table. You need to add the correct values to the user's profile to ensure that QMF recognizes them and starts.

QMF searches for specific profile values in the following order:

1. CREATOR=userid, ENVIRONMENT=current operating environment
2. If running in CICS, CREATOR=userid, ENVIRONMENT=CICS
3. CREATOR=userid, ENVIRONMENT=NULL
4. CREATOR=SYSTEM, ENVIRONMENT=current operating environment
5. If running in CICS, CREATOR=SYSTEM, ENVIRONMENT=CICS
6. CREATOR=SYSTEM, ENVIRONMENT=NULL

userid is the authorization ID of the user trying to log on to QMF. DB2 uses this ID to determine if the user is authorized to use the database.

Current operating environment is CICS, OS/390, or TSO when QMF is being started from CICS or TSO respectively.

QMF must find values for CREATOR and ENVIRONMENT that match one of the pairs in the preceding list, or QMF initialization ends in an error before the QMF Home panel is displayed.
