Issue/Introduction

Question:

I am issuing the commands to setup an EMCS console but I am getting message   

IEE345I MODIFY AUTHORITY INVALID, FAILED BY MVS.

How do I stop this command from failing.

 

Answer:

EMCS consoles require that the OPERCMDS resource be validated.
The default SAFDEF for RACROUTE REQUEST=AUTH,CLASS=OPERCMDS
causes the request to be ignored and a return code of 4/0:0 to be returned.

An override to the safdef will cause the racroute request to be validated

e.g.

ACF
SET CONTROL(GSO)
INSERT SAFDEF.CONSOLE ID(CONSOLE) MODE(GLOBAL) RACROUTE(REQUEST=AUTH,CLASS=OPERCMDS)
F ACF2,REFRESH(SAFDEF)
END

will cause the opercmds to be validated an dthe EMCS commands to be issued.
