Centralized administration is designed to enable the system administrator - who performs the 3 roles system administrator, security administrator and SAT file manager alone - to concentrate their tasks under one user ID. As the TSOS privilege is linked permanently to the TSOS system ID and cannot be assigned to another user ID, only the TSOS system ID can be used. To enable the system administration to configure a central system administrator ID, the restrictions regarding the nomination of the security administrator and SAT file manager with regard to the user IDs and co-existing privileges and rights are canceled.
The restrictions mentioned are canceled using the SECADM UNITED statement, which is stored in the “SRPM” section of the startup parameter file. This changes nothing in the procedures for nominating the administrators.
The security administrator is still nominated in the startup parameter file using the SECADM USER-ID statement and in turn nominates a user ID of their choice as the SAT file manager.
The SRPM parameters are already evaluated during the startup in the BS2000 basic configuration. If this option is also specified in the $TSOS.SYSSSI.SRPMOPT.xxx system file, the specification in the startup parameter file takes priority over the specification in the subsystem information file.
The following statement in the startup parameter file controls the use of centralized administration:
