IT responsibilities

 

Because the IT infrastructure can vary greatly between organizations, it is difficult to indicate who, within an organization, controls and maintains the information required to complete each parameter value. To understand the terminology used in the following chapters, consider the following guidelines as a starting point.

• System administrator is used to describe the person (or group of people) who installs and configures the software for a specific platform.

• Network administrator is used to describe the person who controls LAN connectivity, LAN address assignments, network naming conventions, and so on. This person may be in a separate group or may be part of the system administration group.

  In most z/OS installations, there is a group responsible for updating the ACF/VTAM, ACF/NCP, and TCP/IP software to support the network configuration. The people in this group should be the main source of information needed when connecting any WebSphere MQ platform to WebSphere MQ for z/OS. They may also influence or mandate network naming conventions on LANs and you should verify their span of control before creating your definitions.

• A specific type of administrator, for example CICS administrator is indicated in cases where we can more clearly describe the responsibilities of the person.

The example-configuration chapters do not attempt to indicate who is responsible for and able to set each parameter. In general, several different people may be involved.
