AIX stand-alone: Create users for DB2 for z/OS


Create users for IBM DB2 Universal Database™ for z/OS to work with IBM WebSphere Portal. The Customization Dialog generates job EJPSRACthat we use to create users. Review the generated job and update it as appropriate for the installation requirements. If we use a security product such as Top Secret or ACF2 instead of RACF, modify the job as appropriate. After you run the job, grant the necessary access rights to all users who require them. Depending on the architecture that you choose, these users might include Java Content Repository and Feedback users.

Complete the installation of DB2 for z/OS.

This topic provides instructions on creating a configuration database user. To create a runtime database user, repeat the steps in this topic.

Use the following steps to grant access permissions to the database users. Repeat these steps for each WebSphere Portal instance we are setting up.

  1. Create all database user IDs in the security product we are using on z/OS. For jcrschema, the database schema name for IBM Java Content Repository data, create a group and connect it to the database user ID for Java Content Repository data, jcr. The following sample shows the RACF definition of such a user ID and group, where jcr is the database user ID for Java Content Repository data, yourDefaultUserGroup is your default RACF group for database user IDs, jcrschema is the database schema name for Java Content Repository data, and yourDefaultGroup is your default RACF group for groups. If you have some other security product such as Top Secret or ACF2 instead of RACF, translate the sample RACF definition into the appropriate syntax before running the job. 
    ADDUSER jcr DFLTGRP(yourDefaultUserGroup) NAME('WAS DB2 ACCESS USER')
PW USER(jcr) NOINTERVAL
ALU jcr PASSWORD(********) NOEXPIRED
ADDGROUP jcrschema SUPGROUP(yourDefaultGroup)
CONNECT jcr GROUP(jcrschema)

  2. Run the following SQL statements using a tool like SPUFI while logged on to the DB2 subsystem to grant appropriate rights on the newly created databases. If we are configuring multiple WebSphere Portal instances to use a single DB2 for z/OS subsystem, be sure to use the database user associated with the WebSphere Portal instance we are setting up.

    where:

    • releasenameonzos, communitynameonzos, customizationnameonzos, and releaseusr, communityusr, customizationusr represent the databases and database users, respectively, of the WebSphere Portal instance we are setting up. (These users must be created on the host system.)
    • jcrdbnameonzos and jcr are the database and database user, respectively, for Content Repository data.

    • fdbkdbnameonzos and feedback are the database and database user, respectively, for Feedback data.

    • lmdbnameonzos and lmdbusr are the database and database user, respectively, for Likeminds data.
    • jcrschema is the database schema name for Content Repository data.

  3. Grant the necessary access rights to all users who might require them. Depending on the architecture that you choose, these users might include Java Content Repository and Feedback users.
