Issue/Introduction

How can the security access table for Compress be updated? Is there a stand alone batch utility that can be used to update the security table?

Resolution

The security access for Compress can be set in 2 ways.

1) During initial install you can initialize the security setup using the following JCL CCVBJCL($INSTALL)

The default setting is:

//INIT.DEFAULTS DD *
C;Y;0;UNIT2;NAME;CAT1NODE;
A;TSOID;LASTNAME,FIRSTNAME MI;USERNAME;;

2) You can use the panels to provide "updated" access for new users you wish to add as administrators.  

Sample for the security setup using the original install JCL defaults

If you want to add a userid you can do so from here as well.  There is no batch method to perform "updates" to existing security setups.
