Setting up a name counter in the coupling facility for cics

Hi Folks,

I am new to the coupling facility and am trying to set up a CICS counter following: www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSGMCP_5.5.0/configuring/cics/dfha2_def_nnc_optionstable.html

I am at the step where I need to define the struct, but am at a loss to understand what authority I've not given myself. When I go to use IXCMIAPU to define my struct as follows:
DATA TYPE(CFRM) REPORT(YES)
DEFINE STRUCTURE NAME(DFHNCLS_GENA)
SIZE(2048)
INITSIZE(1024)
PREFLIST(FACIL01,FACIL02)
I get:
IXC740I THE XCF ADMINISTRATIVE DATA UTILITY ENCOUNTERED AN ERROR WHILE
USING COUPLE DATA TYPE CFRM. THE USER WAS NOT AUTHORIZED TO READ THE
COUPLE DATA TYPE RESOURCE.

I issued the following but that still isn't doing the trick:

RDEFINE FACILITY ILXSTR.DFHNCLS_GENA UACC(NONE)
SETROPTS CLASSACT(FACILITY)
PERMIT ILXSTR.DFHNCLS_GENA CLASS(FACILITY) ID(TSTRADM) ACCESS(ALTER)
RDEFINE FACILITY DFHNC.DFHNCLS_GENA UACC(NONE)
PERMIT DFHNC.DFHNCLS_GENA CLASS(FACILITY) ID(TSTRADM) ACCESS(CONTROL)
SETROPTS RACLIST(FACILITY) REFRESH

I found the right book: bit.ly/CFV2R3_Authorization

and I then added this:
RDEFINE FACILITY MVSADMIN.XCF.CFRM UACC(NONE)

PERMIT MVSADMIN.XCF.CFRM CLASS(FACILITY) ID(TSTRADM) ACCESS(UPDATE)

and solved my problem!
