Loading the common MVS groups and users variables

This article describes how to complete the "Load common MVS groups and users variables" option for a WebSphere Application Server for z/OS federated application server node.

Before you begin

Create the common MVS groups and users you will use for the new federated application server node and know the name of the saved common MVS groups and users 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 common MVS groups and users 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 federated 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

  1. On the "Federate 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:
    ------------  WebSphere Application Server for z/OS Customization     --------
    Option  ===>                                                                  
                                                                                  
    Load common MVS groups and users Variables                                                
                                                                                  
     Specify the name of a data set containing the common MVS groups and users variables,     
     then press Enter to continue.                                                
                                                                                  
     IBM-supplied defaults are in ''                                              
                                                                                  
                                                                                  
     Data set name:                                                               
                                                                                  
                                                                                  
     If this data set is not cataloged, specify the volume.                       
                                                                                  
     Volume:                                                                      
  2. Fill in the name of the sequential data set you used to hold the common MVS groups and users variable values and press Enter. The common MVS groups and users variables will load.

Results

The common MVS groups and users settings are loaded. You can display these variables, but not change them.
