To enable you to use the administration commands of openUTM, the following requirements must first be fulfilled:
The standard administration program KDCADM must have been generated (KDCDEF statement PROGRAM) or included in the configuration dynamically (administration program with KC_CREATE_OBJECT and obj_type=KC_PROGRAM).
The administration commands which you want to use must have been generated as transaction codes (KDCDEF statement TAC) or included in the configuration dynamically (administration program with KC_CREATE_OBJECT and obj_type=KC_TAC).
For details of KDCDEF generation for commands and of the authorization level required for calling commands, see chapter “Access rights and data access control”.
The openUTM command interface provides a dialog command and an asynchronous command for every KDCADM administration function. You can therefore terminate all actions (exception: shutting down the application run with KDCSHUT KILL), either in dialog or message queuing.
openUTM commands can be issued by users on a terminal, by client programs and by partner applications. However, in the first instance, they are intended for terminal input. For administration by client programs and other applications, the program interface to administration is far more suitable.
