A centralized security strategy
All IBM Z Workload Scheduler users are gathered in one area. They have at least a working knowledge of all the major functions of IBM Z Workload Scheduler. Because they share the same tasks, there is little need to divide authority.
The only outside IBM Z Workload Scheduler users are at the printer pool, where operators report progress on a print ready list. Machine room operators do not have IBM Z Workload Scheduler tasks; people in the IBM Z Workload Scheduler area perform reruns and JCL corrections themselves.
The following RACF® groups are defined:
- Group
- Contains
- OPCGROUP
- Most of the IBM Z Workload Scheduler users.
- OPCSPEC
- The manager, the two group leaders, the system programmers responsible for IBM Z Workload Scheduler, and their backups.
- OPCPRINT
- The users of the ready list at the printer pool.
