This was done because a job being streamed from the sysstart file must have existing passwords for user,
account and group embedded.
The original logon was MANAGER.SYS, and it was perceived as a security violation to embed the
MANAGER.SYS passwords. The install job creates the PREDMON user with OP,ND,SF,BA capabilities. The
PREDMON.SYS user is NOT created with IA capability. Also, the JPSMON.PRED.SYS has access restricted to
(L,X:AC), so only the creator of the file (MANAGER.SYS), or a user with SM or AM (within the SYS account)
could read the file and see the embedded passwords.
7. A warning message was added if JPSMON.PRED.SYS is not running when the PSCONFIG.PRED.SYS
program is run. PSCONFIG uses the JOBINFO intrinsic to detect if a job is logged on as either
“PSMOND,PREDMON.SYS” or “PSMOND,MANAGER.SYS”. If there is not a job matching either of these names
running, the following is displayed on the system console, and the users terminal:
****************************************
* WARNING: JPSMON.PRED.SYS IS NOT *
* RUNNING. PREDICTIVE CAN NOT*
* MONITOR THE SYSTEM WITHOUT *
* JPSMON.PRED.SYS RUNNING. *
* *
* To enable PREDICTIVE monitoring on *
* this system, :STREAM JPSMON.PRED.SYS *
