This article describes how to complete the "Configure common MVS
groups and users" option for a WebSphere Application Server for z/OS Network
Deployment cell.
Before you begin
Create the common MVS groups and users you will use for the new Network
Deployment cell and know the name of the saved configuration variable file
that you recorded on the worksheet.
About this task
The common MVS groups and users settings are used in the customization
of every WebSphere Application Server for z/OS cell. By loading the variables
at the start of node or cell creation, you ensure that the configuration you
use is consistent and matches the RACF definitions that have already been
set as part of the configuration.
Complete this task as the first step
in configuring a new Network Deployment cell. If you encounter problems during
customization and change the common MVS groups and users variable values,
be sure to re-save them.
Procedure
- On the "Configure Deployment Manager Node" panel, type the appropriate
number in the Option field to select "Configure common MVS groups and
users" and press Enter. You will see a panel that
looks similar to the following:
- Fill in the name of the sequential data set you used to hold the
common MVS group and user variable values and press Enter. The
variables will load.
Results
The common MVS groups and users settings are loaded. You can display
these variables, but not change them.
