Fix Text (F-18530r1_fix)
IDMS can be run as either a batch job or an STC. In either case, a unique userid must be associated with each IDMS region or CV. The userid must be defined with the RACF PROTECTED attribute. No default userids will be used. Each CV’s userid will only have access to those resources required by IDMS to perform its function.

Ensure the following items are in effect:

- A unique userid is associated with each IDMS CV.

- The userid is defined with the RACF PROTECTED attribute.

- Userids of IDMS CVs that runs as a started task, has a matching profile defined to the STARTED resource class.

Command Samples:

1. To add (define) a user to RACF with the PROTECTED attribute:

ADDUSER CV100 NAME('STC, IDMS CV100') DFLTGRP(STC) OWNER(STC) NOPASS

2. To define a STARTED class profile to assign a userid of CV100 with a started proc named CV100:

RDEF STARTED CV100.** UACC(NONE) OWNER(ADMIN) STDATA(USER(CV100) GROUP(STC) TRACE(YES))
