Access to named counter pools

You can control access by named counter servers to the named counter pools in the coupling facility. Each named counter server can be started as a job or started task. The name of the named counter pool for a named counter server is specified at server startup. For each named counter pool there can be only one server running on each MVS™ image in the sysplex.

Two security checks are made against the named counter server's userid—that is, the userid under which the job or started task is running. To ensure the server passes these checks, do the following: To reduce security administration, use the same named counter server userid to start each named counter server that supports the same named counter pool.
