OM Web Viewer 14: How to define the Admin user in order to Manage the repositories.

Products

• Output Management Web Viewer

Issue/Introduction

Following the installation of Web Viewer 14.0, the Manage option was missing from the user interface.
As a result, the users cannot add View databases as repositories or manage repository groups.

Environment

• Output Management Web Viewer 14.0

Cause

OM Web Viewer 14.0 dynamically displays the Manage menu only to users who have Repository Administrative Authority. If the user's security ID does not have READ access to the WEBVWR.ADMIN resource in the CHA1VIEW class, the menu remains hidden.

Resolution

Grant the user the necessary RACF permissions to enable the administrative interface.

1. Define the Admin resource to the CHA1VIEW resource class (if not already defined):

RDEFINE CHA1VIEW WEBVWR.ADMIN UACC(NONE)

2. Permit the administrative user ID READ access to the resource:

PERMIT WEBVWR.ADMIN CLASS(CHA1VIEW) ID(####) ACCESS(READ)

3. Refresh the CHA1VIEW class to activate the changes:

SETR RACLIST(CHA1VIEW) REFRESH

4. Log out of OM Web Viewer and log back in. The Manage menu now appears under the Browse menu.

 

Adding a Repository

Once the menu is visible, follow these steps to add a View database:

1. Navigate to Manage and select Repositories.
2. Click Add Repository in the top right corner.
3. Enter the Repository Name and Dataset Prefix.
4. Click Add.
