Authorize the IDAXFC PROC
Permit the IDAXFC program module to run in KEY=1 by adding an entry to the Program
Properties Table (PPT) found in the SYS1.PARMLIB SCHEDXX member. The following
example indicates the attributes required for the PPT:
PPT PGMNAME(IDAXFC) /* PROGRAM MODULE */
CANCEL /* CAN BE CANCELLED */
KEY(1) /* PROTECTION KEY */
AFF(NONE) /* NO PROCESSOR AFFINITY */
Dynamic activation of PPT table entries can be performed on newer MVS and OS/390 sys-
tems using the authorized MVS Operator SET SCH command, e.g. to activate member
SCHED04, use the following command sequence:
T SCH=04,L
Authorize the IDAXFC program module
Permit the idaXFC PROC/program read access to fonts, XES forms and overlays from the
system libraries in RACF or other security system(s). Where user libraries will be used, the
security rules of the job submitter and the idaXFC will be in effect for these datasets.
Create/Modify IDAXFC Program Security Rules
A number of datasets are dynamically allocated during the operation of the IDAXFC which
are used for logging. Permit the IDAXFC program to write on a non-temporary volume by
creating/modifying system access security rules (if required). The high level dataset qual-
ifier used during dataset creation is supplied in the IDAXFC profile DDNAME parameter.
JES2 Installation
The following modifications must be included in the JES2 parameter deck to define an FSS
system and any associated printers.
The recommended JES printer definitions keywords are listed below:
Keyword Description
MODE=FSS
FSS printer definition
PRMODE=(LINE,PAGE)
Printer mode, accepts both line and page data
UCS=0
Universal Character Set
ROUTECDE=dest
Recommended route code destination used to direct
output to this printer.
DRAIN
Keyword indicates printer should be started by op-
erator START command.
CLASS=x
Output class to be initially processed.
WS=
Work selection criteria.
Note:
Up to 2200 printers can be controlled by a single FSS. The actual number of print-
ers that can be active simultaneously will depend on the processor size and print workload.
Multiple FSS definitions could therefore be required.
1. Generate the FSS definition(s)
The FSSNAME and PROC name in the following example are both assumed to be
IDAXFC.
The following example indicates a JES2 FSS definition for JES2 versions prior to 4.1.
