Concatenating libraries with the openFT commands

This section contains a description of two different ways of making the CLIST libraries containing the administration commands (FT procedure library) available to those user IDs that are authorized to use these commands.

Modifying the LOGON procedure

The LOGON procedure is executed each time a user logs on. During this procedure the FT procedure library is concatenated with the library containing the defined system procedures ('system-procedure-library'):

//SYSPROC  DD  DSN=system-procedure-library,DISP=SHR
//         DD  DSN=ft-procedure-library,DISP=SHR
//OPENFT   DD  DSN=<openft qualifier>.<inst>.CONN,DISP=SHR

If you want to use the menu interface for the FT administrator, you must make some further modifications to the LOGON procedure (see section “Concatenating libraries with the openFT commands”).

Making the library available dynamically in a TSO session

The library can alternatively be made available during a TSO session by means of the following TSO commands:

ALLOC FILE(SYSPROC) DSNAME('system-procedure-library' -

'ft-procedure-library') REUSE SHR

and the two commands:

ALLOC DSNAME('<openft qualifier>.<inst>.CONN') DDNAME(OPENFT) SHR REUSE

TSOLIB ACT DATASET('<openft qualifier>.OPENFT.NCLOAD')

Following this, the FT commands are available during the current session.

You are advised to protect the library containing these CLISTs, e.g. by means of RACF, in order to protect these procedures and thus the entire FT administration against unauthorized access.
