> # Using the SequeLink® Manager for z/OS Operator Interface

> You can use the Operator Interface of the SequeLink Manager for z/OS to issue commands to perform administration tasks. See "Operator Interface Commands for z/OS" for a list of available Operator Interface commands.

> ### Operator Interface Requirements

> This section lists the configuration requirements that must be met before using the Operator Interface:

> RACF requirements:

> - The TSOAUTH and OPERCMDS RACF classes must be activated. Use the command:

> SETROPTS CLASSACT(TSOAUTH OPERCMDS)

> - The OPERCMDS class must be included in the RACLIST. Use the command:

> SETROPTS RACLIST(OPERCMDS)

> - The CONSOLE resource must be defined in the TSOAUTH class. Use the command:

> RDEF TSOAUTH CONSOLE UACC(NONE)

> - The OPERPARM segment of the RACF profile of each user of the Operator Interface must include either AUTH=SYS or AUTH=ALL. For example:

> ALTUSER user-id OPERPARM(AUTH(ALL))

> where `user-id` is the user ID of the user of the Operator Interface.

> - Each user of the Operator Interface must have the following permissions granted:
> - Permission to use the TSO console command. Use the command:

> PERMIT CONSOLE CL(TSOAUTH) ID(user-id) ACCESS(READ)

> where `user-id` is the user ID of the user for who you are granting permissions.

> - Permission to issue operator commands from an MCS-console. Use the command:

> RDEF OPERCMDS MVS.MCSOPER.user-id UACC(NONE)

> PERMIT MVS.MCSOPER.user-id CL(OPERCMDS) ID(user-id) ACCESS(UPDATE)

> where `user-id` is the user ID of the user for whom you are granting permissions.

> NOTE: Update is required because the Operator Interface issues MODIFY commands.

> - Refresh the RACLIST. Use the command:

> SETROPTS RACLIST(OPERCMDS) REFRESH

> Other requirements:

> Make sure that the TSO commands CONSOLE and CONSPROF run as APF-authorized commands. For more information, refer to the information about the IKJTSOxx parmlib member in your IBM documentation.

> ### Starting the Operator Interface

> You can start the Operator Interface from the ServerList panel. To start the Operator Interface, type `O` beside the SequeLink Server you want to perform operator commands with; then press ENTER. The SequeLink Operator Console panel appears, allowing you to type operator commands at the Operator command ===> prompt.
