For z/OS platforms

Enabling z/OS authorized services on the Liberty profile for z/OS

The Liberty Profile on z/OS® offers the ability for your applications to take advantage of z/OS authorized services for System Authorization Facility (SAF) authorization, Workload Manager (WLM), resource recovery services (RRS), and SVCDUMP. If your application requires these services, set up a Liberty angel process grant access for your Liberty profile server to use these services.

About this task

To use the z/OS Authorized Services, you can set upthe following types of profiles using a SAF security product such as RACF®:
  • SAF STARTED profile is required if you plan on running the Liberty Profile server or the Liberty angel process as a z/OS Started Task. For more information about the Liberty angel process, see Liberty profile: Process types on z/OS.
  • SAF SERVER profile is required if you plan on having the Liberty Profile server access any of the z/OS Authorized Services for your applications. You can find the description of each service in the following content.
Note: You do not need to set up RACF if you are not planning to run the Liberty profile server as a Started Task and you are not planning to use any of the authorized services.
