Migration Series for South Users

CIT plans to shut down the South system effective January 12, 2004. Watch two Web sites regularly—Titan/South System News and the Titan Transition. Both Web pages are continually updated.

Today we begin a series of articles on the migration processs—so that you don't miss important news and you do have a smooth transition to Titan. These articles are reprinted from Titan Transition Migration Process Web page.

Topics to be covered in this series over the next months

1.   Determine your USERid(s) and password     < ARTICLE BELOW
2.   Logon to Titan (TSO)—Changes
3.   Review your data security needs
4.   Access NIH Wylbur
5.   Test your batch jobs     [TitanPrep] [JCL changes]
6.   Review your tapes with the Web Tape facility     [moving tapes] [tape JCL]

1. Determine Your Userid(s) and Passwords

---

On South:

• South system USERids (initials) are of the form iii, and are associated with one or more accounts (aaaa).
• South system USERids (iii), and RACFids (iii) match, but differ from the TSOid (aaaaiii). 
• When you log on to TSO, your TSOid is your account and initials aaaaiii and the system prompts separately for your initials iii and your account aaaa.
• South disk data sets begin with the account, followed by the initials -- with the form aaaaiii.dataname.

On Titan:

• A South system user's Titan USERid was created by combining their account and initials (aaaaiii).
• The USERid, RACFid and TSOid match.
• When you log on to TSO, your TSOid continues to be aaaaiii, but the system no longer prompts separately for iii and aaaa.
• Titan disk data sets begin with a USERid (aaaaiii).

Valid for Only One Account

Each Titan USERid is associated with one and only one account.  If your South system initials are valid for multiple accounts, you will have multiple USERids on Titan.  For example, user iii, valid for accounts aaaa and bbbb, will have two USERids on Titan: aaaaiii and bbbbiii. 

Initially, USERid aaaaiii is valid for account aaaa and USERid bbbbiii is valid for account bbbb. Later, you may decide to change your USERid (e.g., aaaaiii) to be valid for a different account.  Your USERid (aaaaiii) will not change even though you are no longer associated with account aaaa.

Password Changes

If you change your password on the South system (either through Web RACF or when prompted to change an expired password), your password for your Titan USERid(s) will also change.

If you change your password on Titan at logon, (for example, when prompted to change an expired password), your password for your South system initials will also change. Passwords changed using Web RACF on Titan will not affect South system passwords.

The following chart summarizes the changes discussed in this section.

Current SOUTH System		TITAN System After Migration
Item Name	Value	Item Name	Value
USERid	iii	USERid	aaaaiii
Account	aaaa	Account	aaaa
RACFid	iii	RACFid	aaaaiii
TSOid	aaaaiii	TSOid	aaaaiii
Dsname	aaaaiii.dataname	Dsname	aaaaiii.dataname
