This article describes how to complete the "Load common MVS groups
and users variables" option for a WebSphere Application Server for z/OS stand-alone
application server cell.
Before you begin
Create the common MVS groups and users you will use for the new stand-alone
application server node and know the name of the saved security domain configuration
variable file that you recorded on the common MVS groups and users 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 common
MVS groups and users 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 common MVS groups and users configuration.
Complete
this task as the first step in configuring a new stand-alone application server
node. 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 "Create a stand-alone application server node" panel, type
the appropriate number in the Option field to select "Load common MVS
groups and users variables" and press Enter. You will
see a panel that looks similar to the following:
