Conﬁguring PRM

Chapter 7136

Launching an application in its assigned group To launch an

application in its assigned PRM group, you have two options:

• Start the application, then wait 30 seconds (the application

manager’s default interval) to allow it to place the application in its

assigned group

• Follow the steps below:

Step 1. Ensure the application has an assigned PRM group. If not, edit the PRM

conﬁguration ﬁle by adding a record as explained in the section

“Controlling applications” on page 126.

Step 2. Execute prmconfig -k or prmconfig -i to update the conﬁguration and

start the application manager if necessary.

Step 3. Start the application using the prmrun command:

# prmrun application

Launching an application in a user-speciﬁed group You can

allow an application to run in its assigned PRM group, or you can use the

prmrun command to force the application to run in another group.

For example, to run the application CustomerOrder in the sales PRM

group, execute the command:

# prmrun -g sales CustomerOrder

Permissions are checked to ensure the user executing the command can

access the PRM group sales. If the user does not have the group listed

as the initial group or an alternate group in the conﬁguration ﬁle, an

error condition occurs. The user must also have execute permission on

the application.

This command enables users to run applications in alternate PRM

groups if they have permission to do so. This command is useful for users

with alternate groups and for root users.

To ﬁnd out what PRM groups a user has access permission to, the user

can enter the prmrun command without any arguments:

# prmrun

User Bob can access the following:
