Customizing to invoke other File Manager components from FM/CICS

You can allow users to invoke File Manager base function, or FM/Db2 or FM/IMS (if installed), from the FM/CICS primary option menu. To do this you customize your File Manager base function security, using RACF® (or your equivalent security product), or FMNSECUR, to give the user IDs running FM/CICS a minimum of read access to the facility groups, FILEM.CICS.BASE, FILEM.CICS.IMS or FILEM.CICS.DB2, as appropriate. For information about these facility groups, see Controlling access or Controlling access. For more information about FM/IMS security, see Customizing the FM/IMS security environment.

If you provide this access then the FM/CICS primary option menu will include the functions FMN (for File Manager base function), FM/IMS, and FM/Db2. These functions can then be invoked through the FM/CICS interface.

If you do not provide this access, then these functions will not appear on the menu, and will not be available.

Note: If you plan to run the File Manager base function interface through the FM/CICS session, you must first complete the installation and customization of File Manager base function as described in Customizing File Manager. If you plan to run the FM/IMS interface through the FM/CICS session, you must first complete the installation and customization of FM/IMS as described in Customizing File Manager IMS Component. If you plan to run the FM/Db2 interface through the FM/CICS session, you must first complete the installation and customization of FM/Db2 as described in Customizing File Manager Db2 Component.
