Specifying the INF Parameter

The INF parameter of the scope record tells CA ACF2 Option for DB2 which infostorage records a privileged user can access. In CA ACF2 Option for DB2, the infostorage records are DB2 records and CA ACF2 Option for DB2 rule sets.

Note: Scoped users defined in the INFOLIST field of the GSO OPTS record can list scope records regardless of the limits imposed by the INF field in their scope records. (See the CA ACF2 Administrator Guide for more detailed information about the INFOLIST field of the GSO OPTS record.)

The format of this parameter is one or more 1‑ to 44‑character entries that represent DB2 records or CA ACF2 Option for DB2 rule sets. You can mask these entries with asterisks (*) or dashes (–) to represent more than one record or rule set. Specify multiple entries by separating them with commas or blank spaces.

Each entry identifies the record key of the infostorage record, which consists of the following:

ctttssssname1,...,ctttssssnamen
c

The one‑letter code that indicates the storage class. In CA ACF2 Option for DB2, the storage class can be C for CONTROL(DB2) records or D for CA ACF2 Option for DB2 rule records.

ttt

The three‑character type code that identifies the type of DB2 record or CA ACF2 Option for DB2 rule. Control records (class C) contain DB2 records (DB2), while CA ACF2 Option for DB2 rule sets (class D) can be divided into the remaining type codes (SYS, DBS, and so on). Below are the type codes that you can use with CA ACF2 Option for DB2:

Type Code

Description

BPL

Buffer pool rules

COL

Collection rules

CON

Trusted context rules

DB2

DB2 records (class C only)

DBS

Database rules

FNC

Function rules

JAR

JAR file rules

PRC

Stored procedure rules

PKG

Package rules

PLN

ROL

Role rules

SCH

Schema rules

SEQ

STG

Storage group rules

SYS

System privileges and utilities rules

TBL

Table and view rules

TSP

Table space rules

TYP

Distinct type rules

ssss

The four‑character subsystem ID that identifies the DB2 subsystem. This is the subsystem defined in the IEFSSNxx member of SYS1.PARMLIB or the group SYSID specified in the DB2 OPTS record.

name

The record name of a DB2 record or the $KEY of the CA ACF2 Option for DB2 rule set. The record name can be EXITS or OPTS. The $KEY can be a 1‑ to 36‑character name of a resource or group of resources that contains data, such as a table or a database. The $KEY can also name a system privilege or utility, such as SYSADM or SYSOPR.
