I believe it was in VM 5.3 that the use of RSCSAUTH started. It reroutes commands through to RSCS so you can change the authorizations without having to bounce it. Never used it myself, just read some about it. Bouncing RSCS isn't that big a deal for as few times as I have done it. I just pick a slow time and git er done.

We usually change the RSCS CONFIG and wait till the next VM IPL (the only time we re-cycle RSCS). Is there a way to dynamically add an authorised operator for RSCS? Thanks, Mike Horlick CGI Montreal
