Invoking the ACF Command through TSO

Like CA ACF2, CA ACF2 Option for DB2 uses the ACF command processor to create and modify all DB2 records. To administer CA ACF2 Option for DB2 through TSO, enter the ACF command when the TSO READY message appears on your panel. Your panel displays as follows:

READY
acf
ACF

Note: If your TSO profile is set to NOMODE, you will see a question mark (?).

You can also enter TSO ACF on the command line of most ISPF panels or enter ACF directly from the TSO command panel.

ACF Command Settings

After you are in ACF mode, you must establish the command setting before you can execute any ACF subcommands. The SET subcommand establishes the command setting.

To process DB2 records, enter:

SET CONTROL(DB2)

To process CA ACF2 Option for DB2 rules, enter the following with the type code of the resource that you want to process:

SET DB2(typecode)

See “Defining DB2 Records,” and “Writing CA ACF2 Option for DB2 Rules,” for more information about these settings.

You can process other records under the ACF command by changing the setting. The CA ACF2 settings relevant to CA ACF2 Option for DB2 processing are:

Setting

Class of CA ACF2 Record Processed

LID

Logonid records

SCOPE

Scope records

SHIFT

Shift and zone records

CONTROL

CA ACF2 system control records, including DB2, GSO, TSO, and so on.

The CA ACF2 Administrator Guide explains how to use these settings. The CA ACF2 Option for DB2 Administrator Guide tells how to use scope records with CA ACF2 Option for DB2.

ACF Subcommands

After you enter the ACF command and establish the proper ACF command setting, you can issue ACF subcommands. These subcommands let you process CA ACF2 Option for DB2 rule sets and DB2 records. Each subcommand is explained in depth in the following chapters. These are the subcommands you can use in CA ACF2 Option for DB2 (some of these subcommands apply only to certain settings):

Other general ACF subcommands are available to assist you with CA ACF2 Option for DB2 processing. You can enter these subcommands at any time under any ACF command setting:

Other ACF
Subcommands


Description

END or QUIT

Use the END or QUIT subcommand to exit the ACF command setting and redisplay the TSO READY message. To exit, enter:

END

or

QUIT

HELP

Issue the HELP command at any time to display online descriptions of the setting under which you are processing and the ACF subcommands of that setting. To obtain help for subcommands, enter:

HELP subcommand

SHOW

Use the SHOW subcommand to display information about CA ACF2 as it is currently running on your system.

SHOW DB2

Use the SHOW DB2 subcommand to give you CA ACF2 Option for DB2 information about each DB2 subsystem that has been started since you started CA ACF2. This information includes which exits are in use and the mode in use for each type of DB2 resource.

SHOW RESIDENT

Use the SHOW RESIDENT subcommand to determine which infostorage directories are resident in your address space or which ones are globally available to all address spaces. The SHOW RESIDENT subcommand also lists whether the directories and rule sets of resource rules and access rules are resident. An example is shown below.

Examples

The following example shows how CA ACF2 responds to the SHOW RESIDENT subcommand:

SHOW RESIDENT
‑‑ RESIDENT DIRECTORIES ‑‑
CKC, RULES GLOBALLY RESIDENT

‑‑ RESIDENT INFOSTORAGE DIRECTORIES ‑‑
DPLN, RECORDS LOCALLY RESIDENT       DTBL, RECORDS LOCALLY RESIDENT
DDBS, RECORDS GLOBALLY RESIDENT      DBPL, RECORDS TRANSIENT

‑‑ RESIDENT ACCESS RULES ‑‑
PRODSYS      SYS1          TESTSYS

The middle section of this example shows that the directories for types PLN, DBS, TBL, and BPL are resident. It also indicates that their associated CA ACF2 Option for DB2 rule sets are globally resident, locally resident, or transient (brought into local storage when a resource request is made).
