Business Continuity Manager provides TSO/E commands such as YKBLDCMD, YKMAKE and YKSUSPND. These commands require access to services granted on MVS in order to perform I/Os to offline devices.

To allow access and to make these commands available in a TSO/E environment:

  1. Concatenate the HDSYLNKT library (the load library where CLI commands are stored) to LNKLST.
    The library can be concatenated via either of the following:
    • Add the HDSYLNKT library to the PROGxx parmlib member as a data set to be concatenated to LNKLST.
  2. Register the HDSYLNKT library for APF authorization.
    The library can be registered via either of the following:
    • Add the HDSYLNKT library to the PROGxx parmlib member as a data set to be authorized as APF.
    • Use the SETPROG APF,ADD command to dynamically register APF authorization.

      For details on the SETPROG command, see the IBM manual MVS System Commands.

    Note: LNKLST has APF authorization by default. For this reason, you do not have to perform step 2 if the HDSYLNKT library was concatenated to LNKLST in step 1. Note that there are exceptions to this rule as well. For details on APF authorization related to LNKLST, see the IBM manual MVS Initialization and Tuning Reference.
  3. Register the CLI command name YKCONMSG into the AUTHCMD section of the IKJTSOxx parmlib member.
    Once this update is complete, TSO/E can be updated dynamically using the TSO/E PARMLIB CHECK(nn) and PARMLIB UPDATE(nn) commands. See the IBM manual TSO/E System Programming Command Reference
