IBM z/OS agent user accounts#

If you run the agent from a UNIX™ command line, the agent user account is the account that you use to log in to the UNIX shell. If you run the agent as a started task, the agent user account is assigned by the Resource Access Control Facility (RACF®) using the started procedures table (ICHRIN03) or the STARTED class. To learn more about RACF, see the z/OS® Security Server RACF System Programmer's Guide, SA23-2287-00.

The agent user account must have the following:

The following properties are supported and can be used with a zOS agent. These properties needs to be specified in installed.properties. The property names are case sensitive.

Property Description
mvs.sysoutclass Accepts an one letter value that corresponds to the sysout class where the buztool / deployment outputs need to go.
mvs.tempvolser Specifies the serial number of an eligible direct access volume on which temporary data sets need to reside. For SMS managed datasets, BUZ_TMP_DSN_PREFIX specified in this page will be a better option.
mvs.tempunit Specifies the type of the unit to which temporary data set is to be allocated. You can specify an installation-defined group name, a generic device type, or a specific device number. For SMS managed datasets, BUZ_TMP_DSN_PREFIX specified in this page will be a better option.

For example:

mvs.sysoutclass=X 
mvs.tempunit=SYSALLDA 
mvs.tempvolser=F$US01
