SMP/E must do extra checking / processing. In general, what Peter and Radoslaw wrote is true.
Using my previous example of Java installation, here is what is documented: <quote> Required authorization: To restore the files with the proper permission bits, you must have the following authority: - UID(0) or access to BPX.SUPERUSER.FACILITY class - Access to BPX.FILEATTR.APF - Access to BPX.FILEATTR.PROGCTL - Access to BPX.FILEATTR.SHARELIB Note: Access to BPX.FILEATTR.* could be used instead. This is the typical authority you require to install z/OS. </quote> -- Mark Zelden - Zelden Consulting Services - z/OS, OS/390 and MVS mailto:[email protected] Mark's MVS Utilities: http://home.flash.net/~mzelden/mvsutil.html Systems Programming expert at http://expertanswercenter.techtarget.com/ On Tue, 2 Nov 2010 10:08:14 -0500, Doug Henry <[email protected]> wrote: >Hi Peter, >Not according to SMP/E V3R5.0 for z/OS V1R11.0 User's Guide > >3.8 Checking that you have the appropriate access > © Copyright IBM Corp. 1986, 2009 > Topic lines 1 to 34 of 62 > > If you are applying a SYSMOD that has an HFS element with one of the > attributes listed in the following table, you must run the SMP/E job with > a user ID that has at least the corresponding access privileges, or be UID > 0. > BPXCOPY > attribute Access > > APF READ access to the BPX.FILEATTR.APF resource in the > FACILITY class > > PROGCTL READ access to the BPX.FILEATTR.PROGCTL resource in > the FACILITY class > > SHARELIB READ access to the BPX.FILEATTR.SHARELIB resource in > the FACILITY class > > > >On Tue, 2 Nov 2010 09:56:08 +0100, Hunkeler Peter (KIUP 4) ><[email protected]> wrote: > >>>If you do not have UID(0) then you also need >>>read access to BPX.FILEATTR.PROGCTL BPX.FILEATTR.APF >>>and BPX.FILEATTR.SHARELIB. >> >>You need those even if you're running uid=0. >> >>-- >>Peter Hunkeler >>Credit Suisse > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
