Thanks for the advice, Alex. That looks like a good way to go. One thing that does concern me though is disaster recovery, we may not have all the production JCL libraries restored yet, but the system and support libraries would be there. We'd want to start running housekeeping stuff quite early on though, so would need an OPC up and running. We don't want the task to be unstartable just because of JCL errors from missing JCL library datasets. Are the JLIBxx DDs dynamically allocated?

I thing its a bad idea.You could define a workstation to run your "Housekeeping Jobs" and adjust PS. You can restrict access to job libraries via exit2. We use exit2 to let the application get the jcl from these rules : The first 2 char is compared with the 5 and 6 char in the JLIB. Example : Application QB****** will get jcl from //JLIBQB DD DSN=XX.YY. It will enhance performance and you can setup an access list to this dataset. You can restrict access to different OPC functions via AUTHDEF in the controller parm. Example : AUTHDEF CLASS(OPCCLASS) LISTLOGGING(ALL) TRACE(0) SUBRESOURCES(AD.ADNAME * Many more resources * And the setup the Racf OPCCLASS to : OPCCLASS ADA.AL* You can then setup an access list for this ressource.
