Modify security to accommodate the server (if necessary)

If your site uses system authorization facility (SAF) classes to protect access to CICS resources or CICS commands:

  1. Modify your external security manager (ESM) definitions to allow the CICSĀ® Configuration Manager server to use the resources and commands that it requires. For details, see CICS resources and commands used by the CICS Configuration Manager server.
  2. If a named counter server is available and SAF-protected, then modify your ESM definitions to allow the CICS Configuration Manager server to use it.

    The CICS Configuration Manager server uses a named counter server, if one is available. If one is not available, CICS Configuration Manager generates a pseudo-counter value.
