Administrative user ID definition

The following example shows our definition of the administrative user ID in z/VM 

that will be used when Tivoli Provisioning Manager uses the VM VSM API to 

create new directory entries for the newly provisioned servers. We created the 

IDADM guest as outlined in the IDI for mySAP Business Suite Installation and 

Customization. This guest is for providing administrative services to the IBM DI 

workflows that are run on the Tivoli management servers.

Example 19   Administrative user ID

USER IDADM XXXXXXXX 

   INCLUDE IBMDFLT                                           

   MDISK 0191 3390 1081 20 515U1R MR

The administrative user ID must be authorized to perform tasks encompassed by 

DirMaint command level 150A and command sets ADGHP. Under certain 

circumstances command level 140A is needed. For example, to authorize the VM 

user ID IDADM to perform the DirMaint task needed for dynamic provisioning, the 

following DirMaint authorization command must be issued by an appropriately 

authorized VM user: 

DIRM FOR ALL AUTHFOR IDADM CMDLEVEL 150A CMDSET ADGHP 

Example 20 shows a sample entry created in z/VM for a new application server 

during the dynamic provisioning operation. This entry is created in the z/VM 

directory based on the Linux prototype, SAP configuration master server, and the 

Administrative user ID definitions.
