Security preparations ...
RACF preparation
All z/IRIS clients must be granted access to SMF in-memory resources using SAF permissions. The RACFJCL text file is a RACF batch job to create a surrogate userid for the z/IRIS client started task with the required permissions for OMVS, SMF in-memory resources and MVS display commands.
Upload, customize and submit RACFJCL from the zIRISzOSClient.v%.%.%.zip installation package.
The settings detailed in the RACFJCL are not final, and some settings can be omitted. To ensure a problem free installation, consult your mainstorconcept Technical Professional regarding any changes to RACF permission in RACFJCL before proceeding with the installation.
