Saving the common group and user variables

Before you begin

You must start the Customization Dialog or Profile Management tool and fill in the common group and user variables.

About this task

The common group and user settings are used in the customization of every WebSphere Application Server for z/OS cell. By saving the common group and user variables, you create a saved security configuration that you can use consistently across all nodes in the cells you create for a given security domain.

Complete this task after setting the common group and user variables and before moving on to later customization steps. If you encounter problems during customization and change the common group and user variable values, be sure to re-save them.
Note: This procedure applies to only the "Configure a common group and user" dialog option. For information about saving variables for all the other dialog options, see Saving the cell variables

Procedure

  1. On the "Configure Security Domain" panel, type the appropriate number in the Option field to select "Save security domain variables" and press Enter. You will see a panel that looks similar to the following:
    ------------  WebSphere Application Server for z/OS Customization     --------
    Option  ===>                                                                  
                                                                                  
    Save common group and user variables                                          
                                                                                  
      Specify the name of a sequential data set to contain the common group and   
      user variables, then press Enter to continue. If the data set does not 
      exist, the dialog displays the Allocate New Data Set panel, with which you  
      can allocate a data set.                                                    
                                                                                  
                                                                                  
     Data set name:                                       
  2. Fill in the name of the sequential data set you will use to hold the common group and user variable values.

    Choose a data set name that identifies the sysplex, cell, or group of cells for which this security domain is defined. If the data set does not exist, you will be prompted for data set allocation information.

  3. Record the name of the common group and user variable data set on your common group and user worksheet.

Results

The common group and user settings are saved in the data set you selected.
