TCRACF Users Guide


A. First Time Users

1. First Time Logon

For instructions on how to logon to TCRACF please refer to Mainframe (HOST) Logon for TCs.

The first time you logon you will be required to enter some contact information (SP01 only). You will have to enter

your phone number, department number, and the physical location of your desk before you can exit this screen. This

information will be stored and be used in option M/3 to save you from entering this information each time you modify an ID

or its access rights.

This information can be changed at anytime in option 0 (zero) from the main menu.

TCRACF Users Guide


2. Screen Navigation

TCRACF runs on the mainframe and must be accessed using an emulator of the IBM 3270 terminal. The 3270

terminal was originally released in 1972 and was designed primarily for keyboard use. The emulator has since added some

mouse functionality. Because of the history of the 3270 terminal it is important you understand the basics of a mainframe

screen and some of the keys used for cursor navigation on the keyboard.

A basic screen (or panel) consists of Input, Output, and Text fields. If you type anywhere besides an Input field the

screen will lock or freeze. You must press the Reset key (usually [Esc], [Page Up], or [Scroll Lock] keys depending on the

emulator used) to unlock the screen. Then press [Tab] to move the cursor to the next Input field.

A locked or frozen screen will typically display a stick figure at the bottom of the mainframe screen. The task bar at

the bottom of the emulator will also indicate a locked screen- typically using a lock symbol.

Some of the keys used for basic navigation include-

The directional Arrow keys [Up], [Down], [Left], and [Right] allow you to move the cursor one character

in the specified direction.

[Tab] key Used to move the cursor forward (left to right, top to bottom) to the next input field on the

screen.

[Shift] + [Tab] keys Used to move backward (right to left, bottom to top) to the previous input field on

the screen.

Function (F1-12) keys These act as a substitute for the 24 PF keys which exist on the IBM keyboard

used with the 3270 terminal. They are still occasionally referred to as PF keys.

o The F1 function key is typically a Help function.

o The F2 function key is typically a Split Screen function. It creates two screens for viewing.

o [Shift]+F2 function key will exit a TSO session and display the MAI menu (only if MAI is used).

o The F3 function key is typically a Back or Exit function.

o The F7 function key is typically a Page Up function.

o The F8 function key is typically a Page Down function.

o The F9 function key is typically a Toggle function used to manage multiple screens.

o The F10 function key is typically a Page Left function.

o The F11 function key is typically a Page Right function.

Typing the PFSHOW command will toggle on/off a list of available function keys on the bottom two (2)

lines of your screen.

Finally, the screen (or panel) is a grid pattern. The screen size can be changed in the emulator settings, however the

default is 24 characters high (rows) by 80 characters long (columns).

B. TCRACF Overview

This is the TCRACF Main Menu. Based on the authority given you, some of these options may not appear on your

screen.

Before the individual options are described, please notice the top and bottom lines of the screen. There are several

important items to remember:

Title: This is the top line of the screen. It is a short description of the screen you are currently in.

type commands.

LOCATION/SYSPLEX: This is where in HOST/mainframe you are logged on. The most common locations

are SP01(US) and SP02(INTL).

F1 Function Key: This takes you to the help menu. Nearly every screen in TCRACF has its own unique

help menu. Be sure to use F1 if you ever have a question.

F3 Function Key: This is how you exit or go back a screen.

TIME: The time relative to the system you are logged on to. This is displayed as Military Time which

runs in 24- rather than 12- hour increments. (16:43 military time is 4:43pm standard time)

not select any fields before hitting [Enter]. We have selected all options here only to present to you all the available screens.

TCRACF Users Guide


This screen asks for specifics of their mainframe/Host access.

The first (1st) field is the pattern ID. By default, this is the same as the initial pattern ID you entered. You may

change this field if necessary.

The second (2nd

) field asks if the individual is a developer. If you respond yes (by typing Y) then the individuals ID

will be created on SP03 (a sysplex used as a development environment) in addition to the standard sysplexes SP01 and SP02.

If you respond no (by typing N) then the individuals ID will not be created on SP03. This field is required.

The third (3rd

) grouping of fields determines whether the individual will have access to use MAI (Multiple

TCRACF Users Guide


8. Issue a Domain Move

A domain move is necessary for individuals who transfer to a new country. It should be performed by the receiving

TC after a transfer is requested. This will move the individuals ID and email to the correct domains (or servers) for the new

area. Without moving the ID to the correct domain, the individual may not have all the appropriate access. In some cases,

the individual will not even be able to log on to a company PC/workstation.






The initial screen will verify that you have already issued a transfer. If you have not, exit out and request a transfer

(section E-7) before continuing.

This option will display a list of TCs by the area/team where they work. This list is manually updated and may not

always contain the latest information.

2. Look-up TCs for a specific group




This screen asks for a group ID and will return a report listing all TCs who have authority to the group. They will

be organized by level (a rating describing how closely the TC is related to the group) telling which TC is the potential

group owner. A level two (2) TC most likely wont be as familiar with the group as a level one (1) and may not be able to

help.

A level one (1) TC should always be contacted before a level two (2). A level two (2) TC should always be contacted

before a level three (3). And so on.
