Re: SDSF GIVING ACCESS TO THE LOG COMMAND
Try and narrow down whether you are using a PARMLIB(ISFPARM) member to control SDSF access or RACF with commands. You do not use both unless you want to stay confused. our results may vary, sometimes have the user logon again helps refresh that access you might be lacking. RDEFINE and PERMIT are standard Security Server (RACF) commands documented in the manuals for that product. You issue the commands from TSO environment. On Fri, 14 Mar 2008 14:15:24 -0500, John C.

Now this user is just a user and not a sysprog or any thing like that. I looking in the SDSF Operation and Customization book on page 160 there is a a section that talks about setting up generic profiles and an example of protecting commands complete with REDEFINE and PERMIT commands but no were, that I can find, does this book explain how to go about and do this. I know that I am over looking something but for the life of me I can't find it. This book is the only one that I can find on the IBM web site which covers SDSF.This is the site which has all the books per release of z/OS. We are on z/OS 1.7.

With subcap pricing on z/OS, you can add CPs for use by a z/VM LPAR. If you dedicate those CPs to the z/VM LPAR, your existing z/OS partition won't see an increase in MSU capacity. When you bring up z/OS as a guest on the z/VM LPAR, it will report MSU usage consistent with the share of the CPU it gets from z/VM (SET SHARE). So to the extent you use (and benefit from) z/OS running as a guest (with virtual CFs!), yes, it will cost extra. On the other hand you may find that your dev/test environments are cheaper to deploy in virtual machines than in LPARs.
