The action represents the type of access involved in the function
being performed. The types of access are:
- VIEW to be able to view reports
for observations
- UPDATE to be able to update a scheduled observation
- DELETE to be able to delete an observation
- MEASURE.JOB for measuring a batch job
- MEASURE.STC for measuring a started task
- MEASURE.TSU for measuring TSO users
- USE.DB2PLUS to be able to request a DB2 PLUS
measurement
- USE.IMSPLUS to be able to request an IMS PLUS
measurement
- MONITOR.JOB for threshold-monitoring
a batch job
- MONITOR.STC for threshold-monitoring
a started task
- MONITOR.TSU for threshold-monitoring
TSO users
- USE.WLMI for using the WLM Intercept
to request a specific DB2 stored procedure or user-defined function
measurement and/or turn on the collateral DB2 (CDB2) data extractor
- USE.CICSPlus to be able to request a CICS PLUS
measurement
- ADMINISTERPRODUCT to be able
to perform administrator functions. This includes updating the common
list of source files in the common data store and seeing expiry days
warning for all users’ observations. This authority is needed to
update the ISPF A05 Source Mapping Common List and the GUI Source
Program Mapping Repository Common list. It is not necessary to give
this authority to users to maintain their personal list of source
files through the ISPF A04 Source Mapping Dataset List and the GUI
Source Program Mapping Repository Personal list. Without this authority,
when expiry days warning is enabled, users will see the warning for
their own observations only.
- USE.WAS to be able to request a WAS measurement
By default, all users have access to VIEW, UPDATE and DELETE any
observation they create, as well as monitor their own TSO userid.
Therefore, profiles do not need to be specified for a user to have
access to their own observations. All other types of access are protected
by default and must have a profile written for any user to have access
to them. Access is denied if RACF denies access or if RACF cannot
find an applicable profile.
